I once saw an electron microscope on a government surplus site. I actually thought about getting it, but it was huge. My guess is that is was...
I was just being facetious. :happy: I was thinking it would be a horrible review. Don't you see the irony of them telling everyone watching what...
Thanks for enlightening me on the minting process for pennies. The copper layer must be fairly thick then to hold up to the striking process.
I picked up a dime in a local parking lot about 3 months ago that looked a lot like that dime.
I not that familiar with exactly how the mint strikes the penny. But my thought is that the copper coating would be applied after the coin is...
You know. Your review of Coin Vault should be scrolling across the bottom of the screen while they are hawking their over priced coins.
Norsk64 - I guess the best place your reviews would do the most good would be at the bottom of the TV screen during a Coin Vault show. Fat chance...
At this point the real test would be to send it in to either NCG or PCGS and see what they think it is. I would hope they would say it was...
Norsk64 - I've read your other reviews. The only unfortunate thing is that they only appear here and not somewhere where the people who would be...
I’ve read a lot of the stories about how bad Coin Vault is so when I was flipping through channels the other day I saw it listed so I had to take...
Baseball - I agree with you. But you'd be amazed at just how many XF & AU coins I found in the melt piles. Look at the attached photo. The photo...
Gunner - I'm on both sides. I collect some coins in slabs but I also love to go through piles of Mercury dimes and Walking Liberty halves and...
I predict the Lincoln penny (in high grades), because I think that within a few years the mint will stop making them. Once that happens pennies...
I was at a coin show looking for PCGS slabbed coins to add to my 20th Century Type Set. I found one I would have liked to add to my set but it had...
Mark - I don't blame you. It's one thing for the mint to do reverse proofs, vapor blasted and the like, but this just gets crazy. I sure hope PCGS...
I have seen some collectors who hunt out and collect counter stamped coins. Your best bet would be to seek one of them out to see what its worth...
Before you jump and down too much, see if you can pick it up with a magnet. Just to be sure its not a fake.
What is it with NCG and their slabs? I just go an email advertising pre-sale of 2018 Silver Eagles. While the coin in each slab is the same, the...
I remember reading many years ago that the major source of income for the country of Liechtenstein was the sale of stamps to collectors. There is...
Wow! You must really look at your pocket change very closely to pick that up. I’m not so sure that didn’t happen outside the mint. The ‘E’ doesn’t...
