Congrats on your first anniversary Eng ! When you get to 10, lemme know as there are only handful who have been around that long, and still are ;)
Tim - Over the last 15 years there has been a huge upswing, within the US, in the popularity of collecting the coinage of other countries. But...
If it has I certainly see no signs of it, and I used to collect hammered coinage so I do know what it looks like and am quite familiar with it. I...
And it is an excellent book I might add. And George, if you can't get one from Heritage, send me an email and I'll send you my copy for free ;)
Looks like a bidiot mentality to me, '81-S or '91-S. $100K - really ????????? Even a problem free '91-S in AU58 sells for about half of what...
I agree completely. But your first comment may not have been exactly clear to some readers. Especially those who think there is such a thing.

I think we can safely assume it's not just the Chinese doing this. The crooks in this country are just as adept as those anywhere else.
Based on pictures all anybody can do is guess, and even with an in hand exam, that's still about all you can do in many cases. Coins are graded...
Well for one thing the mint doesn't put coins into rolls. The mint ONLY distributes coins in bags. Only private companies put coins into rolls....
I'm not so sure that it will revert back. Yeah, there was a time when the vast majority of collectors preferred their coins white, and many still...
Yeah they do, and a lot get caught. But errors, even ones like this, slip through the cracks all the time. It's certainly not unusual.
The ability to do that has existed for at least 30 years that I know of, and probably longer.
