i did, i sent him the funds back. and thanks really, its nice to be able to share information like you did.

 

Shoot, tell us this dealer/seller anyways, I'd love to gobble up Silver Ikes at $8.00 in any condition.

 

haha, i asked him the same thing and he is out. im so sure with the price he sold. I have some mexican 1968 olympics i got when they were $7.00 each. I was tempted to sell on ebay. But im a hoarder, it hurts to sell but never know, i'll post the link here if i do.

 

One thing about 19lyds write up, the planchets are NOT hot when they are struck and are not really more vulnerable to dings right after striking than later. The planchets ARE heated to anneal or soften them before striking, but they are also washed and bunished to remove oxidation from the heating process before striking and they are down to room temperature by the time they reach the dies. The striking does heat them up again as they absorb energy from the impact, but to less than 200 degrees which isn't enough to significantly soften coppernickel or the 80% silver outer layers of the coin. And after striking they cool back down rapidly.

 

I guess that was a joke because I didn't share anything.
I just ask questions after feeling sorry for the seller for having to put up with all this over an $8 coin.

 

200 Degrees is pretty hot Michael.

 

To a metallurgist, 200 degrees is freezing!

 

Not a metallurgist, but do have a degree in metallurgy.

 

eh..

 

Not when you are dealing with materials that have melting points of 1500 degrees or more.

 

??? Joke about what? You asked a question and I responded. Feeling sorry for someone else over a $2 dollar or $8 coin well lets just say, that i want to make sure its all legit.
