Let me check a couple of stars I have. The bottom one is in the best condition, and it's a 2009. Zipping over to the site that Steve linked, and I...
Yes there's no extra metal, it comes from the planchet, it just appears that way.
I am Meow Kitty free since their 1st day of being ridiculous, talking about themselves in the 3rd person, and adopting a cat persona. This is a...
That's true there would be a middle man. Since the gold buying guy has to have a large enough amount to take to the smelter. (Who he claimed...
Illiterate Coin Star customer leave behinds.
Paddy I did read your post and got the joke. As for the OP coin, you'll have to weigh it on a very precise scale. If Fred can tell by looking at...
The cent could be MS and worth .25-.30 cents. The problem is there's no market for it. Dealers are not buying these coins for .15 cents and...

The title of the thread is confusing and assumes that silver Ikes would stick to a magnet. I didn't realize silver Ikes stuck to a magnet. Metals...
A 40% silver Kennedy, does not have the copper showing on the edge. If you look at the 40% Kennedy's (1965-1970) they all have a white edge....
It was put on Lincoln's jacket in 1918. Altered 1914-D's, 1914 does not have the initials, but 1944 does, will often have this area suspiciously...
I'm not sure. The lettering doesn't seem mushy enough. And the weight is close to correct. A metal analyzer showing silver would show it's not a...
While the EBay coin could be AG-03, I think G-04 is correct. And I agree with the G 06 on the (I hate Etsy) coin.
I find the shape unlikely to be found in a roll. All kinds of weird things can be found in mint bags. This site puts the value at $5...
