It doesn't. Maybe he is in the market and is trying to get a feel for how much to spend. Maybe he is the seller. Why does anything matter? It doesn't.
Silver ring is not any kind of reliable or scientific test. Forget about sound as any kind of proof. If the coin is plated, it's not counterfeit,...
Copper is a relatively soft metal. The numbers and letters are raised, and easily moved when struck with a small amount of force. Something can...
You click on Upload file, (from a PC) click on the file, click on full size, click post. If you are on a phone, I have no idea. I am the only...
That is a great looking set. I like the penny and the nickels. But they are all dazzlers.
Current bid is $2550. But there are still 25 hours left. Certainly proof like. If all that dirt is on the coin it must have lightly circulated and...
Yes good find. Most finds you can scrub (modern clad, face value coins), but not the rare ones. You could have just let it soak in water...

The CAM's are usually practically touching at the base. This page from the Lincoln Cent Resource explains that all 1970 cents are WAM. You can't...
You can't melt down the last 40 years of zinc pennies. What would you do with a worthless glob of zinc? There's probably been more zinc cents...
While the steps look good, the OP photos are not good enough to figure out a grade. MS 64 until better photos are provided.
It's a penny. If you are looking for the 1969-S doubled die this isn't it, as that coin shows extreme doubling in the letters which can be seen...
It is supposed to weigh 5.67 grams. 5.56 is well within tolerance, and it appears to have lost a fraction of that weight due to severe...
Never heard about them destroying those numbers. It seems the super low numbers, never make it to circulation. But not because they have been...
ATB quarters are not State and Territories quarters. This is a different series which came after the State quarter series.
