Well, why didn't you say that? That's interesting news. Like the last two respondents said, perhaps the next step is third-party certification....
Nobody is suggesting you were the one who plated the coin. Merely that it was done at some time or another. And nobody is ridiculing you so far....
Mercury is a silver colored metal that has the consistency of a liquid. It is also quite poisonous. And that's all I can tell you about that,...
I had that thought as well, though I never did it myself.
It's a beauty for sure. I'm thinking 67. Looks like an MS67 I once owned, at any rate.
Hi, and welcome. Does it stick to a magnet? The 2-franc coins struck for Allied-occupied Belgium were struck on leftover steel cent blanks. As...
I also voted "8" in the poll, by the way. I try to be objective, but due to owner bias, the coins in my primary collection seldom rate less than...
Roman Empire: billon reduced centenionalis; VRBS ROMA city commemorative, ca. 330-340 AD [ATTACH] Obverse: VRBS ROMA, bust of Roma left in plumed...

Interesting. I wonder how long it will be before someone finds one and comes asking about it on the forums.
Excellent find! I've never gotten a Merc out of circulation or bank rolls- ever- in 44 years of collecting.
There’s part of the letters there. That’s good enough fo VG. The headband is flat on G4 coins.
Not a bad set of ideas in theory, but I’m certain there would be myriad issues with trying to implement something like that in reality. You’re...
Fortunately the ones I saw were blatantly obvious. And the real coins I was buying were $20-30 items, tops, so not exactly high-end stuff.
They're still looking grainy and of rather low resolution, but the last few are an improvement. The Indian cent picture is almost serviceable. I...
I recently bought several big 5-kopeck pieces from the 1700s on eBay and did notice that there were a number of obvious fakes being sold. I don't...
No, it merely means that you need to focus more on the coin than what the label says, because there are substandard coins in TPG holders too. The...
