I'll inaugurate the Fifth Party Grader (FPG) service. I'll call it "Whoa, Dude" grading. You send me your already TPG graded coin and $5, and I'll...
I said earlier there's nothing wrong with collecting them, if that's where your heart lies. The enterprise itself is (was) a scam. If the...
They're targeted ads. You seem them because you go to APMEX and similar sites a lot. Your neighbor who doesn't go to those sites gets different ads.
Well, then he should have sold silver rounds, and maybe silver certificates, without also calling them dollars, and let the market decide their...
If the sheet was inserted into the press upside down, the hologram will be inverted. Depending on when in the process the inversion occurred, the...
It seems the problem was basically that the system was a heads-we-win-tails-you-lose scam, and was at essence an attempt to create a private fiat...
And the government objected why, exactly?
Sorry, it's a fake. Signatures are part of the face plate, applied during the second printing process. Seals, fed and serial numbers are applied...
I love a gently-circulated, handsome key coin like that. Just imagine how many people used it as a cent until the one person who knew better came...
It's a light, but 100%, offset error. A previous sheet was torn, folded, or missing, so the face printing meant for it was applied to the "board"...
If you enjoy collecting such things, and do it with eyes wide open, then there's no harm. I have a question, though. Does anybody actually redeem...
Honestly, without a part of another note (or marginal markings) showing, it's just a really poorly-centered note.
Yeah, but you don't count. Treasure swirls around you like bees round a honeypot, and all you need do is reach out and pick it up. :p
It was an illegal issue that under modern rules would be liable to confiscation. One shouldn't worry about not having one to complete a V nickel...
Suppose you sell crap on eBay at an average 400% gross markup. Suppose half of your customers realize they bought crap. You refund them in order...
The good ones are obvious fakes. Probably a few, no-premium-over-melt ones are real. It's a common tactic.
Man, you're a treasure hunter from the inside out, in every direction. Congrats.
Good question. Perhaps from somebody who breaks open large numbers the sets to liberate high-grade pieces, and to whom these are junk.
Well, I guess it depends. Do you treat profit and loss as a business, or do you record it as miscellaneous income (loss)?
I'll bet you would. To the OP - I would not recommend sending a collection, or even a list of its contents, to minions of the "world's largest...
Separate names with a comma.
