It isn't. It's nickel and copper. It just looks that way from being in the ground.
DO NOT CLEAN COINS!
Yes, I'd bet my life. If a real 1913 had turned up, it would be all over the news and would be auctioned by one of the big coin dealers, not that...
Buffalo nickel. Sometimes they are bought for jewelry if date is worn off, but not for much. Can you see a date?
Here's whet you should do: http://www.money.org/communications/consumer-awareness/counterfeit-qa.aspx Q: Is it illegal to own counterfeit United...

I tried The Coin Connection and immediately ran into problems - how would I enter my 1788 MA cent, Fugio Restrike, Machin's Mills or Brashlow...
I have no interest in debating you. You are completely wrong but there's no profit in trying to educate you. Is there a "block" or "ignore"...
That just infuriates me. I was lucky in many ways. My working career mostly spanned a time when the middle class was strong. We owned a home...
Thanks for this. I use Google Drive and PCGS now, but both have their limitations. I'll take a look at Numismaster and the Coinnection.
I'm not saying that there are not people who will try to cheat you on eBay, but I've never been burned there. True, I've sold less than 100 items...
I found a pair of reading glasses I had back when I could still wear contact lenses. As you say, it looks ridiculous, but wow - I did not know...
