According to the article linked to, it is now illegal to sell counterfeit coins that are not marked with COPY. They say it twice - The Act will...
Well that's kind of the problem. If they are indeed counterfeits, and you really don't know that for certain, then nobody has any idea how much...
We've been hearing about it for years. Similar bills have been introduced numerous times and never got anywhere - died on the vine. This one,...
I don't have any answers for you, and I don't think anybody else does either. And I believe it's going to be a while, maybe a long while, until...

Let's see, I'm the one who is wrong. And yet you guys are trying to tell me that the lines all over Franklin's bust in that picture are the result...
Exactly correct. And Jason, yes the mint experimented with many things over the years, the key word here being experimented. And while some...
Mintages rarely have anything to do with it.Coins from a hundred years were struck in the hundreds of millions. And those numbers were just as big...
