Wow... If you can afford to sit on it, that might be a good thing to keep intact. I'd like to hear the opinion of some long time bill collectors.
The average buy was for 3 sets because most folks figured that 2 of the sets could be flipped in order to give an essentially free keeper set....
I don't understand why they put a verdigrised coin in a slab?!? That stuff is like rust, and doesn't stop just because you seal it up... I figure...
Nothing of numismatic value. Everything is fantasy (at best), bordering on counterfiet. The Amero crap is total Sci-Fi that is never going to happen.
I see slight wear on the high points of the coin in question... ANY wear = NOT MS Scratches mean nothing. An MS-60 coin can be covered with bag...
Those that were shut out, were shut out by flippers throwing that word around among each other like they were hosting 'Coin Vault' at 3 am.
I love all the people equating 100k mintage with "rare"... I think the overuse of that word is what is causing the bubble. 100k for a CIRCULATING...
The "Gold Page" doesn't come with the 7070 unless you order it that way.
Dryer coin... seen it MANY times.
Well, short of letting people know what happened and never doing business with him again, there's not much else to be done. You did have a...

IMO that is WAY optimistic. From what I can tell, there are 10 flippers to every one collector that bought into this deal. Everything points to a...
There are several places online that describe both spooning and rodding a coin into a ring. The double sided ones are made by working the coin...
Spooning gives the best results IMO. My son spooned a Walker and it is gorgeous...
We are a free nation... we have choice, and the people choose the paper bill by about 70%. Nuff said.
If there is one upside to your purchase, it is that you spent your dough with an American counterfeiter instead of Chinese. :rolleyes:
I think he meant if bills were eliminated. I hate change. It's heavy, it falls out of my pockets, it gets lost... The bill is much more...
A moving motorhome will have all sorts of vibrations on the coins, causing a very fast form of what collectors call 'shelf wear'. It a really bad...
My local show is like going to a local stealer... Used to be focused on coins, but last time around, just like BM shops, everyone was focused on...
Separate names with a comma.
