Can you tell me a bit more about this? I have a few coins that I want to authenticate, but a graded slab isn't necessary for me. How does the...
It looks like a religious medal, or perhaps something from San Marino. Anyone have a better answer?
I haven't read the whole thread yet, but what of Vinland? http://www.reuters.com/article/2009/07/17/us-science-map-america-idUSTRE56G58320090717...
If you do, we'd love to see it!
+1 There's a 'spy gear supply shop' not far from me - I may go check and see if they have something like that. Would a cell phone have the same...
The article quotes the silver owner as saying that a bank turned him away. Why would they do that? Did he really mean that he felt the price of...
Sounds like an inside job... and I'm curious if the "victim" is being investigated for possible insurance fraud. Timing the market to not only buy...
Are there Krause numbers for World proof sets? (don't have my book at hand, or I'd check) What about coins that are unique to proof sets (ie; a...

As for the Morgan and Peace Dollars - yes, there are some dates & mint marks that are much more desirable than others. Here are mintage numbers...
I had a claim about a year ago. Ran into the same thing - opened a case with eBay, got tired of waiting, then filed a case with PayPal. I was told...
Plugged or not, that's still a beautiful coin. How much do you think the plug knocks off of the value?
So that blind passengers can use the ATM (without handing the driver their PIN).
Apparently, his initials are on the 64 Peace Dollars. So, if a real one does surface in the future, I'd pay very careful attention to the spot...
FYI, some sterling medals are more than an ounce (1.2 ounce weights are fairly common). So, make sure you check the weight (and understand the...
Some old silver coins take on a coppery color. This is called toning. I would look at pictures of toned Morgans and see if this looks like what...
There were proofs minted in 1903... I'm not sure if there's an easy way to diagnose them as proofs if they were circulated by mistake. Anyone have...
