A 40% silver coin does not have a copper core, the edges look just like a 90% er. The best test would be an accurate weight. 90%--12.5 grams...
Banks are really getting chintzy anymore. I heard one story on the local news that a bank was considering charging a fee just to talk to a teller....
If you ever happen to run across any Cleveland Indians or Browns bars I'd very much appreciate a heads up on them. Shoot me a pm if you think...
Did a quick advanced search on Ebay and a lot of them listed at $.69 and $.99 didn't sell. You might sell a few and make a couple bucks if you put...
I'm fairly certain that impression would be from a foreign object. Grease would only cause an area to be weakly struck.
Machine doubling is very common and unless it's severe is not considered collectable by most folks. It would be a waste of money to send it to PCGS.
Sports related bullion. I always liked the Jerry Rice in particular.
From what I can see it looks to be machine doubling. Here's one place to learn a little more about the types of...
I think the doubling you're seeing is from die deterioration. It's a very worn die. Also as far as the RPM, it doesn't look to me that the MM is...

Not a great deal but not a terrible deal also. If you want these for your collection versus reselling them then I'd offer him around $450 or so...
I think trying to get a better deal is to be expected. Offering 10% less than his marked price is entirely reasonable in my opinion. What they...
Hey thanks for posting the pics Green, I hadn't seen the actual coins yet, just the mints pics. I initially wasn't that thrilled with the silver...
I got my 9 year old son one of these. http://www.whitmanbooks.com/default.aspx?page=80&SubCatOID=117 I think they're not just a collecting folder...
Got my $34.50 2011 ASE in the mail today. Thanks to whoever posted the coupon code, it worked. All the pretty brochures went directly to file 13....
I would go with an SVDB also. In fact, I'm doing the same thing myself as I need only that one to finish my Lincoln set. I rooted around and...
Just a note here. The only commems that are in the pilofilm (which, I assume you mean by vacuum packed) are some of the 80's uncirculated halfs....
