Dave Harper just had a piece on the CCAC meetings being tweeted. Read the article of Wednesday, 04/28/2010 for more information:...
Alas, poor CoinTalk....I knew her well.........
Doesn't exist in U.S. Numismatics. I do recall an Australian coin, where the 2nd coin was cut from the center of the first. The "Holey dollar...
Jesse, To the best of my recollection of what the nuns taught me, 2.54 centimeters = 1 inch. Therefore, 4 cm is just over 1 1/2 inches....
I suppose it's possible. And, you could potentially recover DNA from the fingerprint, or other material on a coin. We could clone some famous dude...
Right you are. The pricing is for average coins (99.9% of them will be MS-68 to MS-70) in the original government packaging, relatively undamaged....
How about a picture of the coin next to a normal dime?
I would tell the seller that you won the coin fairly, and that you would like to proceed with the sale. I did win an auction once where I got a...

I can't tell from the pictures, but it sounds like you may have a "spooned" coin. These are typically thicker, but smaller in diameter. If you...

They're not all over the place, but I see them every now and then at larger shows. SEGS is still a reputable company. They're especially good...
I'd say you did pretty good. I'd call it F-15, if not VF. And from what I saw, it doesn't look cleaned, or at most, a light cleaning long ago.
I can't help with the advice on those coins (except to tell you the platinum-plated nickel is worth only five cents), but this incident reminds me...
It didn't go way up, but you could make a profit over your initial investment. I believe that many of these were certified and slabbed by SEGS.
I am not a member of the FSNC, but I did request back issues of the Portico, and I meant to join. As I understand, unfortunately, their membership...
You're right - there no special badge. And that's why anyone can call CDN (or log in on the computer) and purchase their own greysheet. If you...
Take any reference material you need; do not ask to see the dealer's greysheet. Carry a bag with all of your reference material, loupe, etc. in...
