Been looking for a certain modern commemorative from the 1990s on eBay and found this 1992-S Gymnastics Half:...
Not sure if there is no respect, but according to eBay they are not the most popular. It involved certain patience, but recently I got a 1858...
Part of my quarter also colored in brown, is this a mint error or PMD? [ATTACH]
Yeah, fake, the obverse looks quite bad. Buying a $200 coin for $28 in a Moroccan souk would definitely be a mistake.
I have no idea what are those "little ads before youtube vids" you are talking about. [ATTACH]
It would make sense telling them about the real value only if you also tell them where can they get same coins in same grades without overpaying....
The half you got is KM #109 from 5740 (1980), worth under $0.50 in this condition. If you got Krause, there is a list of Hebrew and AD dates in...
There were several reports about PMD over a normal S, maybe you got one of these.

Exactly. Foreign coins are garbage, nobody uses or collects them. It is unclear why were they minted in the first place!
Y # 77 100 YEN 4.8000 g., 0.6000 Silver 0.0926 oz. ASW, 22.5 mm. Ruler: Hirohito (Showa) Obv: Phoenix Means these are 60% silver.
There are 4 versions for 10 pruta, you got the slightly more valuable bronze version from 1949. Still about $1 in this condition without pearl.
Just $1 over your max amount still sounds like a good deal. I`ve received a few of those second chance offers from sellers with stocks of same...
These are sold on eBay for quite unreasonable prices, their price should be in the $5 area.
According to Bank of Russia website, there are no plans to release this coin in 2011:...
Doesn't feel like choice uncirculated from those pics, looks more like AU50 top, but most likely XF.
