Well, that cent does look like it was struck twice... once by cent dies and the second time by a Mack truck in a parking lot.
Ok, something a little different this time. I bought these 3 as a set a few months ago, so they don't have individual prices per se. So,...
Yeah, I thought at first it was $60 for all the coins. Maybe a little pricey, but not completely ridiculous. Then I read the description. :P
Well, that was unexpected. :) I’ll post something a little later today when I have better access to my images.
These are all great pieces. I have a clearinghouse certificate from San Francisco that I picked up at Long Beach a couple years ago for a few...

Exactly. That’s why I asked why a dealer would trade (retail) dollar for dollar unless they got some other benefit out of the deal....
Exactly. You get it. The dealer makes no more profit selling their coin for $100 than they do trading your $100 coin for theirs and selling your...
Definite improvement. I like it.
No, it isn't. Could you sell your $100 coin to a dealer for $100? No, probably not, because the dealer buys at wholesale. So, either you sell...
I'd be interested to see that! Were the US patterns or some other country/countries? How do you figure? What's the difference between "I would...
