Well that's kind of why they have different words isn't it ? To convey similar but subtly different meanings so that one can express oneself...
There's actually a good bit of research that's been done and papers written along those lines that covers many time periods. All one has to do to...
That's a good example, they were definitely counterfeits because there was no official authority to issue them. And the rebels certainly didn't...
Like I said, difference in definitions. If someone mints coins without authority to mint them (falsely makes) and keeps them, that person has...
Then it's silver, just like it says it is.
Well eddie, let's say 2 guys wrap some coins up in tissue paper and put them away. Guy one does so simply because he thinks it will help protect...

Does pure silver ring ? Yes. But it will be a slightly different sound than that of 90% silver. Now if what you're saying is that what you have...

This is an example of what I was talking about in my 1st post in this thread when I said there would be many different answers. What I didn't...
I'm not sure which particular comment of mine your referring to with this post. What I mean is this - I never claimed anything "was" a genuine...
Not necessarily. A great many counterfeits have been produced with planchets that have the correct metal fineness, size, weight, everything. But...
Ehhh - I'm never gonna say it's post mint damage, but I might say it's artificial toning in some cases - stress some cases. But then that's...
That's a question that I imagine you're gonna get several different answers to. In my eyes, nahhhh, I don't see any difference. A fake is a fake...
That's a great bust on that medal ! I like it !
I don't disagree, I've seen plenty of coins labeled harshly cleaned and then cleanly graded on resubmission - and justly so. Just not near as many...
Cheech I'm not sure what you're talking about ? My post - - was in response to this one made by Jim. Anyway, like I said, I'm not sure what...
When it comes to hairlines on a coin, especially a circulated coin, and whether not it gets cleanly graded, it kinda depends on how many and or...
Gonna getcha for that ! :D
