I kinda disagree on the idea of giving away too many diagnostics. In fact, this is something a counterfeiter always have his / her eyes open. To...
I think it's a two way street - sometimes I sell for a profit, some I sell at a loss. Some buyers may think they've got a deal. Overall, I may be...
I don't specialize in this field but like what Numismat says, there's some high quality counterfeits being sold these days. This seems to be quite...
Probably both. I would lump the lower valued coins and sell the higher valued ones individually. It might take too much effort to sell something...
The real problem is once there's enough education going on, counterfeiters will soon use rock tumblers to artificially wear the coin down to...
I acquired this album a while back and I forgot where I placed it. Thankfully it has come out of hiding. It was actually in a sorry state where...

A hacked account? Just seems like that way.
I reckon they just don't want to punish a cash cow until buyers start to complain big time.

It's hard to say about such colored coins. While amateur painted coins are not worth too much, I've seen similar classical colored coins sold for...
Ice cold blue - too cool! Or does she have 'blue' blood? :)
