I found out about this yesterday. I'm happy to have CoinTalk as a place where I don't have to deal with political nonsense.
How can you say that?!!? Don't you know how many RARE MINT ERRORS have been destroyed by an acetone soak, leaving a coin that just looks normal?...
We always get into arguments about rounding, with some folks saying "merchants will always round up when charging you", and others saying "but 6%...
And stock prices in cents instead of bits or half-bits!
And sailing onward. Coinflation currently puts 90% minor coins at 34.99x FV. I know the very peak in 2011 was just a tad higher than this (in...
Looks like silver tripped right after my earlier post (sorry), with a 4% plunge, but it's regaining its footing: [ATTACH]

I don't think the machines that give change do any checks on outgoing coins. They just spit out whatever gets fed into them. I've gotten silver in...
Well... if you're a reasonably careful buyer, you can expect to get some money back out of your coins, as opposed to money you've spent on travel...
I dropped in on eBay BIN listings this afternoon for the first time in ages. Saw at least one listing for a Peace dollar at $29.95 + $4.50 S&H....
I'm not sure I think of it as people "falling for it", so much as people assuming they won't be the ones left holding the bag. People got rich on...
Because they've got the money, they want the coin, and they bid more than the other person with money who wanted the coin?
And another warning, although you may already be aware: the criteria for PL were less stringent in the era of those slabs. I had one Morgan...
