Are the two precautions mutually exclusive? Do you have to sacrifice your family in order to protect other valuables? If not, and if your coins...
If your safe is rated to not exceed 350 in a typical house fire, then I think the best test would be a controlled test in an oven set at 350. No...
It certainly doesn't look like it's worth what he's asking...
He's right in one regard. That PMs aren't technically a good investment, since they shouldn't actually go up in value as you generally want...
$85,300 - Reserve not met.
Bah, I guess I cut it too close. I was thinking the cutoff was 5:00PM my time. I was going to guess "$85,200 and reserve still not met". Since...
Just for the heck of it, I wouldn't mind seeing a higher resolution image. I know it's PMD, but that date looks like "1548".
What about conductivity? You could insert the probe of a multimeter into each end of a roll to measure Ohms. I don't know what the difference in...
Tablesaws are safe if you use good technique: - Use featherboards to hold narrow stock against the fence. - Use a push stick to feed narrow cuts...
I'm still torn on this. Of course I think it's unreasonable for them to be able to identify every type of coin ever minted in the US, much less...
Ouch! If you were my neighbor, I'd have invited you over to run each length of PVC through my table saw a couple of times. Ziiiiip - Rotate 45...
I wouldn't neccessarily run away from a coin in a SGS holder. I would essentially treat it as I would a coin in a 2x2 that was graded by the...
I hate to say it, but SGS does have a pretty bad reputation as a grader... But that doesn't mean it's a bad coin.
Since it's been graded, someone's probably got more than that into it.
I'm no coin grader, and I'm not nearly as knowledgeable as some of the folks around here, but I'd say we'll need to see a better photo before we...
Don't most banks offer this service for free? Mine does. I can bring in a bucket full of coins and they happily pass it through their counting...
My local coin shop got about 10 BU Libertads in. I bought three of them for $4.50 over spot, which is their standard price for 1 Oz silver...
I don't mean to hijack the thread, but how many of you use some sort of electronic camera/microscope/loupe to view coins on a screen? Any...
Good post LFCfan. I was torn between 1941 or 1945 and 1991. I figured I'd leave the WWII dates to someone who has a stronger personal connection...
Nothing impressive really, but I bought three Mexican Libertads. One for each of my kids. They will inherit a pile of Silver Bullion coins when...
