Typical nails are actually pretty soft and malleable. Notice how they bend fairly easily, but don't break. It would not be necessary to heat up a...
Maybe you should go look up the VAM listings again ... It is important to present accurate information when discussing such things as an...
The date position and mint mark position match 1893-S VAM-1. 1893-S VAM-2 has a tilted mint mark, unlike the coin in question. The coin is...
What is this "source" ? Can they explain why they think it is counterfeit ? Can you explain why you think it is counterfeit ? Based on that...
I think FDR destroyed our future. We would all be far better of today if FDR had let the Federal Reserve Bank fail instead of bailing it out. [IMG]

That page lists how many have actually been struck, not how many have sold. So far, I've only done a test run of a few pieces. I'll produce more...

I believe it is a die-struck fake. One of many tell-tale sighs is the mushy lumpy mint mark, especially the second "C". The perimeter should be...
Definitely NOT a Franklin Mint issue. The FM sculpting and engraving was of a high quality. The piece shown is average at best in that regard. So...
Probably ;)
I'll probably give it a go. One thing about this competition that I like is that the selected artist(s) will be asked to submit an actual...
I have had my share of "run ins" here with two of the posters mentioned above. But I don't let anybody push me around (or out), and I use the...
The founders of the United States had various religious beliefs (some more than others). At the time the US Constitution was written, many...
Ex-jewelry. You can see the bezel clamp marks (digs) on the back. Close to 1/4-oz of gold, that's about it.
That is correct, no 1964 or 1965 dated Peace dollars were ever issued. None were ever minted with a "1965" date. The US Treasury Department's...
