Give it the ol' ring test... balance it on the tip of your finger, then gently tap the edge with another coin. A struck coin will ring like a...
It's quite likely the coin was tooled to enhance the date and "LIBERTY", then abrasively refinished (even sandblasted) to hide the tooling marks....
I believe this to be true. RiverGuy, I'm sorry you had a bad experience. Sincere. But it seems like this is more a case of "the grades didn't...
Right you are, MPC. Fortunately, cooler and wiser heads prevailed. The system worked; this turkey will be roasted, baked, and fried up !!!...
I don't handle much bullion, but 80% of spot seems WAY low to me. Don't forget... if he buys at 80% spot and sells at 100%, that's not a 20%...
Bump. The most recent issue of Coin World has an article regarding this topic. Looks like common sense will prevail ! It's a non-partisan issue;...
The slightly irregular "lightning bolt" look suggests a die crack IMO.
To me, the coin is spotty. There's a big one obverse 'twixt the feathers and "A" in AMERICA. There are several spots / discolorations on the...
All intended to discourage you and make you give up. I'm glad you stuck with it. It's another case of "bait and switch". They talk one thing,...
Are these the same numbers you saw ? The ANACS site can be a bit quirky... 64 - 3 65 - 0 66 - 4 67 - 22 68 - 166 69 - 210 70 - 10 total 315...
It depends on the margin. I don't want to sell 4579 anythings @ $130 if they cost $140 each. But I understand your point in this case, and it's...
I haven't seen the HSN commersh, but from what I'm hearing they never actually claimed to be selling only 70s; they flashed a 70 knowing that we...
Not spam. Rarcoa's sheets are pretty influential; they publish daily, reflecting the price of gold and the coin market's reaction thereof.
Current Rarcoa sheets have this one at $422/457 bid / ask.
Personally, I think not. It's a die crack which has not yet developed into a cud.
There's a lot of things misleading on these silly shows, as Mike pointed out in the OP. For instance, the fact that they are holding up a slabbed...
Up until now, ANACS has graded 17 70s out of a total of 502. That's about 3.4% 70s. At that rate, it would require submission of over 134,000...
Yes, they make a commission. What's wrong with that ?
I'm with ya, Mike... I'm confused. ANACS' website makes it difficult to find their pop reports, but I finally navigated the maze and found the...
I'm with you, DG. The current value of the USD vs Euro and Pound is actually quite strong. It's interesting to read European media outlets......
