It IS badly corroded - 50 cents.
My friend Numismania, I have well over 2,000 transactions on eBay, and 100% Feedback. I appreciate your concern, but I know how to do it. One of...
For Dougmeister, best way is to find a straightforward chart. Here's one: http://www.gold-eagle.com/article/gold-and-silver-ratio (see both charts)
I would agree, your 19th Century gold is a good compromise between numismatic enjoyment and bullion protection. But the guy that pays a $$$...

Well, yes, for rare coins. But only a fool would pay 30x or 40x for bullion. Think I'm going to try a little experiment. I have almost a roll...
Same reason all the Maria Theresa's were dated 1780 -- for almost two centuries. People were familiar with them, and were suspicious of change....
Hotpocket, yes, that's a possibility. But it sounds like a lot of hard work, and the process of making a lot of small sales eats up a lot of time...
But duk, you're missing the point, sort of. Here is an area where a Buyer can reduce risk; tools, autos, whatever, are a whole different...
rysherms, I'm not talking about individual collector coins, I'm talking about bullion or near-bullion, especially smallish lots. Big difference....

Another reason to indicate the identity of the coin on the slab is to distinguish business strikes from patterns, trial pieces, and alternative...
The Salem trials took place 1692-1693. Open up your Redbook and look at the colonial section, keeping in mind that coins from one colony did not...
Tom, I think you're right, it was Shell, not Sunoco. I'm lucky to remember what I had for lunch, much less where we bought gas 50 or 60 years ago
It's not a coin, it's a token out of a privately-minted Presidential set. Sunoco gas stations had something very similar in the 1950s. Value...
Here are 5 nice minors. They are listed both in Krause and in the Redbook. 1903 ½ centavo. 1904 1 centavo (few edge bumps on reverse). 1911-S...
Myself, I wouldn't bid on any of them. Raw trade dollars are always suspect now, and both of the LC, although high grades, have defects that...
Why bother? And refiners really don't want $500 "jobs". Whatever it is you want, simply start trying to swap raw sterling for them. In fact, a...
