I am fairly certain it is not a money grab. Any money collected from a customer described as a sales tax must be remitted to the State whether the...
I am going to disagree - if it were an RPM - it would be worth around a buck or so.
Perhaps delivery of goods is a service specifically taxed in Michigan and IL. In my state delivery charges are considered part of the sales...
Actually if you google the Preakness Garland you'll get an array of answers. Most say the flower used is the Viking Pom a member of the...
Actually before venturing into this thread; I was searching and reading articles concerning The upcoming Preakness Stakes. So when I initially...
The 1st thing I notice about a coin is constantly changing. It all depends on my perspective, purpose and goal for looking. Take the daisy in the...

But they would not have been a century old when struck. They would be recent coinage - much like the Sacagawea Dollar and State quarters are now.
I am 100% confident that 100% confidence of authenticity is not achievable.
Absence of the markers provides someone with a high level of confidence in attributing a 1893-S Morgan as counterfeit. Presence of the markers...
Well deserved - congrats Jack
No - the coins are not the same. The thinking is the damaged coin may be the source coin used to make counterfeit dies which struck the other coin
At this time that would be a problem. My computer carrying my CAD System crashed. Currently being analyzed by technicians to see if it can be...
I am thinking source coin - too much of the abuse (dings and such - especially around the rim) are missing on the 2nd coin. Why the "O" in dollar...
All overstrikes are double strikes but all double strikes are not overstrikes. Just like all thoroughbreds are horses but all horses are not...
