Yea seriously. And the plastic chips off so easily that I can't seem to wedge it. Gonna have to try to cut all around, or just whack it and hope...
Should have heeded your guy's safety advice first... scraped two fingernails, cut my thumb and got plastic dust in one eye =( And it didn't work...
Great advice, thanks! I'll try cutting a notch and then use some kind of wedge. Will post my results later. Thanks!
Thank you, I'll take note of that for the next time I see one. 2 down, 11 to go! =)
That's kind of like my metal saw. But how should I cut it? Across the flat side, from the edge, along the edge, or other way? Thanks.
I have a hand saw with tiny teeth meant for cutting metal piping, a couple hand saws with large teeth meant for wood, various chisels and...
Hi folks, I'm hoping someone that's done it before can advise me on what is the best way to crack a PCGS slab without risking damage to the coin...
I don't know much of anything about identifying ancient coins. I have a bunch that were pulled from various foreign coin lots. Wondering if any of...

Well said. The dealers I regularly work with around here are just like that. When I do transactions with them it's a [mostly] equal value trade....
Basically there are three ways I can tell the raw Asian coins this seller has are fake: 1. He will let a coin go for $40 which normally would...
Certainly not by selling with their location listed in Asia. But, by selling the same exact fake coins from a US location, they manage to fool...
The details on the 8 reales look correct for Guanajuato mint pieces from this time. As long as the weight is in the acceptible range, I wouldn't...
For me the point is equally split between profit and collecting what I like. For this reason I do not sell the best coins I come across, even if...
So, to be a collector you have to lose money? No way. One very much can be both a collector and an investor. People like me who sell coins they...
eBay is funny like that. I've seen coins listed for $100 that did not sell, but when the seller relisted them at $0.99 the bidding ended at over...
