Yeah, that's true. But there's more to it than that. When you say creating collectibles, I assume you're talking about low mintage items that will...
Not so. There have been many cases where it was not discovered that a coin was a counterfeit until years after the purchase, and the dealer still...
An auctioneer or a coin dealer can say whatever they want, but that doesn't change the law. If they sell you a counterfeit coin, as a genuine...
Doesn't change the fact that the plastic is air permeable Mike.
That's a completely different situation Kurt. For one thing you have no way of proving that you got that specific bill from their ATM. That's why...
That they cannot do, even if it is in writing. The reason they CAN'T do it is because title to the coin cannot be transferred if the coin is a...
The industry standard is, and has been for decades, that if you remove a coin from its original holder - the holder that the dealer shipped it to...

I dunno if I'd agree Kurt. I've been meeting people at coin shows that I originally met on a coin forum for over 16 years now. And 16 years ago I...
I think what you are referring to USCM60 is the use of punches, both single and gang type. But that isn't hubbing, not even close.
Must ? I sure never have, and I've used it plenty of times. In fact I strongly advise against using soap on a coin at all because soap is one of...
Based on my experience, well over 50 years worth of it, it happens to almost everyone else ! It is totally and completely normal for people to...
I have tried for many years to determine when hubbing was first used. As of yet I have not found an answer to that question !
It's been proven many times over the centuries, the simplest things are quite often the best solutions ;)
What I said in original comment is accurate. Sure, there was a time when the vast majority of forum members were over say 45, with the most in...
