So? You're describing "the exception" as not everybody, since we're talking about coins, cash, and currency that everybody would use, carries more...
"Cudding"? The OP's coin is not a "cud".
Yes. You are on to something here. With the minor exception that the "value" of gold would have to be governmentally regulated (as it was until...
Uhhh yeah! When was the last time ANYBODY carried $1,000 around in their pockets for use in daily commerce? $500? My weekly grocery bill doesn't...
Read it again, that was not the question. The question was: And for the record, there is already silver and gold metals in our money. They are...
You don't. Both are now considered commodities and as such, have very volatile pricing. Up one day and down the next. Do you REALLY think that...
With the sole exception that those are 90% Silver Quarters.
After about 10 minutes. Not as extreme as the OP's but certainly getting there in a surprisingly short period of time. [ATTACH]
Well Damn! I was just about to grab a tacking hammer and go outside to work on some korters just to see how long it might take to achieve that effect!
PCGS's grading standard states: "MS/PR-70 As struck, with full strike" No where does it say "Perfect". The ONLY folks that say "Perfect" are...

Not necessarily. If I started a post with "Pass the Hot Potatoe".......... I'd never hear the end of it. Just trying to edumacate you the...
Be sure to give her the coin back and pray she doesn't think you switched it with your own man-made clip.
I don't think it's a genuine clip. The rim does not flow into the clipped area but abruptly ends like it was cut.
For the record, when someone says D/D it literally means D over D. DD is translated as doubled die. However, often times I refer to a 1955...
The "Blakeslee Effect" is not necessarily a reliable indicator of the validity of a clip as some coins are in fact valid clips with absolutely no...
No but there is a slight mis-aligned die.
I normally do not post eBay listings but this one was suspicious and then obvious as I had asked the seller for a photograph of the inside edge of...
I also shot a pretty good example of the doubling on the 40% Silver Proof IKE. All the proofs have this doubling but a lot of them do not show it...
I took some shots of a 40% Silver Business Strike that I have which could possibly be a TDO. The strike is a little mushy but it still shows the...
Separate names with a comma.
