My change from lunch today included the following pleasant little surprise. So....I slid a $5 bill into the lottery machine....Mega Millions draw...
image comes off as .bmp, which I converted to a .png. For whatever reason, this board will not recognize a .bmp.
and to think PCGS, NGC and CAC are all the children of John Albanese.....
Yowzer!! Just got my Andostar 2MP Digital Microscope. Took me 5 minutes to set it up, another 5 minutes to download the software, and SHAZAM!!...
Insomnius got it. A coin needs to be on the edge of a big junp in value to justify the CAC fee. Like a 1891-CC Morgan which comes back from PCGS...
purely a function of supply and demand. Some Morgans are "rare" in any grade, due to low mintage: 93S, 85CC, 81CC, 89CC, 79CC... Some Morgans...

You won't find a publication which will place a value on the bill. But.....you have a rare and highly valuable asset. This is the kind of asset...
nice get. $18 was a good price. I would not advise grading this bill. 1923 $1 silvers are very common. This one looks like an F-12 or so. You...
Asking myself why a counterfeiter would bother with a super common coin, such as an 82-S Morgan. Have you checked the calibration of your scale...
While you learn the ropes of coin grading, be sure to read up on many threads here about the economics of grading. In a nutshell, the expense of...
Let it be. It's junk silver with zero numismatic value. The inscription on the reverse of the clip might be of historical interest. Check it out.
It sucks to be a male preying mantis. It sucks to be a male Black Widow. To be fair...it also sucks to be a female Mallard.
