IMHO it's a great idea. But, I don't think it would work for the simple reason there's not many experts on Coin Talk that can detect counterfeit...
I know about that! A while back I bought 2 blue boxes from the US Mint to keep my Silver proof sets in. After a certain number of years, they...
@Big sg. Welcome to Coin Talk. One of the worst places to get good info on coins is YouTube videos. Most of them are click bait videos telling you...
Can you post the sellers photos? I've noticed that some Ebay sellers post great photos but when you get the coin it looks nothing like the photo....

That's all I'm down to buying from the US Mint. Since that fiasco last year with the limited edition Reverse proof SAE, and the steep decline in...
Welcome to Coin Talk. Why not ask people that know you. Realistically speaking, it's not the smartest thing to do; be a reference for someone you...

Welcome to Coin Talk. There's a lot of information about your coin on this site: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces16074.html You can also...
Can you please show clear closeups of the cents you state are DDO. Thank you.
