Do you have the equipment to weigh your coin (and 5 for comparison) to the nearest 0.01 gram?
Here's a retail website where quite a few hammered and milled English, Irish, and Scotch are pictured, for comparison. I know nothing about them,...
After 3 years, we submitted one to PCGS, and it came back Country & Western details... If they were really smart, they'd use 90% quarters,...
The day I'm selected as eBay's CEO, there's 50 B-L-O-A-T-S that would be history before 10 a.m. They must sit up nights thinking of crap to put...
I liked Yahoo auctions. That's going back a long ways. I can't remember if they did "everything" or just collectibles. Their big sellers...
As I said above, Gibbons-bidStart has its beta auction website almost set up, in fact a few (invited) Sellers are using it now. Since they claim...
Because sometimes serious misinformation gets published here, and newbies (because they see bad decisions in print) believe it, and down the line,...

By mid-1944, Greece also had a horrific inflation, printing a 5 million drachma stamp for packages; only 3 years before, 5 drachma was the going rate.
From that perspective, looks like a "hole" (through the token) in the bottom of his gold pan. That would be clever. Is it a hole, or just a...
The key word is "stadt," meaning city (not state). You have reminded me how much fun we GI's had in Germany, piling into a cab on a Friday night...
"...And those who want to eliminate the cent, if they succeed in doing so, in my opinion it would mean that we are basically giving up on...
I'd be selling $1-2 coins on CraigsList, provided you're near a major metro area. On eBay you're working for 50c per hour.
HiddenD, I think the unspoken factor is that "now," people are broke. What used to be a fun, random purchase now must be measured against kids'...
