Putting coins in the flame of a stove burner for about 15 seconds will do that exact thing. This seller is clearly a fraud, accepting only a money...
I asked the seller of the quarter what mixtures he used to alter the coin and he replied with some 4-letter words and claims he found it at work....
Which I believe they stopped doing in about 1970 but I am going to see if I can find where I read that.
I'll put it this way, if the machines the feds use on their dollar coins can't filter out the Susan B. Anthony's for removal from circulation,...
I don't think this is entirely accurate as I have read of people finding silver halves(even Walkers and Franklins) in boxes that were ordered from...
Just to note, you shouldn't depend solely on checking the security threads. High-end sophisticated counterfitters have been known to put strips...
A good choice indeed. Anytime someone says to spend a perfectly good and historic bill, I recommend just ignoring them. I can go through several...
All of the old style notes ought to be saved unless they are damaged. I tell you what bzcollektor, I dunno what your secret to getting old bills...

I'm going to try and pinpoint that 1720 coin, thanks Aidan. I think you are right on the money Drusus. Check out this scan. After looking real...
This is one of the biggest Roman coins I have ever bought not to mention one of the thickest. All I know about it is that I bought it from a local...
I agree quite a bit with this assessment. I see lots of mint lustre on this coin and wouldn't be surprised if it were even AU or beyond in person.
All that ebay cares about are those Final Value Fee's(FVF).
I don't know where I said that French jettons aren't dated? In post #1 I said "Jettons were never dated were they?" In my second post I said "I...
After looking at them more and more I am quite certain the first two are jettons. I did not know jettons were ever dated. Where do you see the 88...
All three of these coins are on ebay from one seller in three auctions. The seller does not know what these first two are. This first one looks...
I'm not going to name names or make accusations but for all of those who are hoarding copper pennies with the intent of eventually having them...
