It's post mint damage and is only worth the value of the silver. Don't be confused by some of the above posts, it's obviously not an error. It...
"The inscription of the year of minting or issuance, mint mark, and “E Pluribus Unum” will be edge-incused into all coins." Mint marks on the...
It may be slightly off center if that's what you're referring to, but in that condition and with how minor the off centering is, it won't add any...
I understand that, but for many online businesses that provide their service for free (and even ones that charge for service), part of how they...
To what end? Why sabotage big data? You're not going to stop it. All that entering bad data will do is make the system less reliable for others...
This idea of an entitlement to privacy is very new. Privacy itself is a relatively new concept for humans (I mean that as broadly as possible)....
No, it's not. Data is the base of that pyramid for a good reason. People got this wrong for a long time. Take for example you want to write a...
You always have to independently verify when Krause lists something as rare or very expensive. Take for example Hungary 50 Fillér 1948 Aluminum...
That's because I feel like coins that fit the second definition are clearly both mules and errors with no ambiguity. As for the first definition,...

Absolutely. Both of those scenarios have happened many times. What about an instance where the mint deliberately employs an unintended die...
How do you all feel about mules? Are they errors, varieties, or types? Can they be all three depending on the circumstances of how and why they...

Send it back. IMO slab errors are not a thing. It's just a mistake, and it also throws off their registry. NGC will cover all expenses.
A thin coat of light tool oil does the job as well. As I mentioned above, that's what I use for these types of coins. This is the product I use:...
Ok, but how do you know how it was handled before you got it? That's the danger. Acetone removes oils from handling and other organic contaminants...
It may have been treated before hand which, depending on how it was done may have made the surfaces more susceptible to rust formation. Having...
Here's a recent acquisition that is somewhat of a mystery to me. Hungary (dated June 6 1865) Tin 42mm 24.74g Engraved by Wilhelm Pittner, an...
Nice. That's pretty early for aluminum coinage.
