The lengthy Introduction in any Krause World Coin Catalog is a good place to start reading; in my copy, it's pages 4 to 14. LOTS of key...
Yeah, I understand that, but you were looking for a way around the fee; for some coins, of a known and fixed value, my idea would work, I think.
I wouldn't say eBay's in a death spiral. They just sold PayPal for much more than they anticipated, and now they've nearly reached agreement to...
Tell me if this strategy would get around the 2% fee -- list your item fixed price at the amount where you would have set the reserve. Then...
Based on the above comments, I think you MUST send it to PCGS, and your cost will be recovered when it sells without question. Right now, there's...
Forget about "baking" it for half an hour - likely to do much more harm than good, as that locks and hardens any remaining particles into the...
Through 1964, Mercury dimes were NEVER scarce in circulation. Even the bulk silver I look through today, I'd guess still 20% of the total. Coin...

You're too late. The CIA has legalized counterfeiting. The Canadian mail-order pharmacies have legalized drugs (plus the state of Colorado). The...
The date is laughable. This is some Chinese kid's science project... === You might get the Feds interested in this particular fraud, as it's...
Remember, if he finds a buyer for his 1941-D, the same buyer might want your 1941 (don't know if you want to sell). My opinion is that his $199...
The weight is the KEY here. Maybe you can find some other places to weigh your coin, 2-3 times wouldn't hurt. I know my scales lie every time I...

Here's another take -- I have an apartment FULL of junk and collectibles and antiques, etc. I have 30-40 CraigsList ads running all the time (but...
