Quite to the contrary, the increased value arises from the fascination. Error coins are rare, compared to normal strikes. Some collectors view...
If you're talking about the raised metal "line" that connects the bottoms of the letters "ONE CENT", then it looks like a die break.
Great coin. I'd say $15-$30 is fair.

It depends what you consider "valuable." Registered is definitely the way to go for high-end, but less than $25K coins. First-class or...
K6UA -- you'll want the Redbook. Don't buy it for the prices, though, as you will be sorely disappointed. Buy it as a learning tool, and read it...
I, too vote for Saturday. Rarely does a show go so badly that you'll get any kind of deal on Sunday that you wouldn't get on Saturday.
I really hope you're not serious. There are ways, of course. Even legal ways. But with the potential of reward comes risk. And, a 600% rate of...
I've been to that show before -- it's excellent. This weekend, though, we have a good show that's about 75 miles closer to my house :-) Probably...
Condition is everything. Nothing really jumps out at me, with the exception of the 1878-CC morgan, which could be worth some money. Some of...
Spend $200 on used books and price guides, and spend 7 weeks reading them like there's no tomorrow. Take your remaining $800 and in your last week...

I cannot think of any reason why, after being removed from a vacuum, they would experience corrosion at a greater rate than any other coin.
It is no coincidence that the PBS series is coming out before the release of the 5-ounce rounds.
I won't touch them, except when I'm buying them back of melt to resell for scrap. I predict very low mintage; probably some initial excitement,...
My two cents: I've made some fantastic purchases on eBay. I've bought things for a fraction of what I'd pay from a dealer. The deals are rare,...
Can't say without the better picture. From your description, though, and from what little I can see in the picture, I'd say a die crack.
Man, when I sell this coin, I'll have all you guys to the Hyatt Regency for drinks and dinner. All on me, man. This is my BIG SHOT! This is a...
1140, and I'm not telling you how I figured it out!!!
