I watched a show on counterfeiting bills a while back. It's a huge problem world wide and they do send agents world wide. US agents spent 3...
Yes, I would venture to say this happens on a regular basis. In fact, a few weeks ago, just by looking at feedback, I caught a guy that was...
I have to say whatever is on the edges is so unnoticeable that it's inconclusive. Fine, perpendicular (like reeding) scratches that are barely...
Have you guys ever wondered what the replicas you see for sale on ebay are like? I always have. And although I never wanted to contribute a dime...
THIS WAS A TEST. This was made in China!! Thank you bhp! I was hoping the discussion would go this way. It "don't look right" because...
Anybody else? I'm pretty sure I'm going to send it in and see what happens. Was hoping for a few more opinions though.
I found this 1914-D at a local antique mall. It was a really good deal. I couldn't pass it up. It seems to have nearly all the original luster...
What an accomplishment. Congrats. I'm working on a set of them myself. I don't remember what prices were a couple years ago. I just see...

Male. Just turned 29 this month. I don't really know if there are any other collectors around me because it's not something most people want...
No, you're just being realistic. Because if you assume every loose trade dollar you look at is a fake, you will be right more often than not. It...
Just got caught up with this thread. Thanks for posting these great pics Matt. If these were in another thread with lesser quality pics, I'm...
At the show I went to last weekend, I bought some MS Franklin halves myself for my album. I looked at what everybody had there. Sometimes I...
I love the Antietam half! I wish I had one. I walked across that bridge a couple years ago. Really cool old structure. That is a great...
No. I won't hammer him. As long as I get a refund promptly I just probably won't leave feedback at all. Although he said this was the only EF...
When you click on someones name on the lefts side of any thread, a drop down menu appears. Select 'View Public Profile'. When you get in...
