I seriously doubt if ANY of the Olympic athletes are dedicating their lives based on the value of the metal in any awards they might win.
I'd drop the 94-S dime from that list. They were struck as business strikes (even though I believe the TPG's now call them proofs) in 1894, and...
I'm wondering why too. Registered would have saved about $70 in fees and would have had more secure handling.
Except a planchet for a 19.6 mm coin probably wouldn't fit through the feeding equipment or into collar for a 19 mm coin.
OK I was apparently mistaken, but in my own defense I did say I BELIEVE they would be retained on a reholder.
That's my point. It appears those are the same style/size boxes that the mint used and if they are then anyone can create "unopened GSA CC...
Close, the spike BY the lower bar of the E is longer on the regular relief coins. On the high relief it barely reaches the top edge of the lower...
These are what are referred to as "obscened" cents. It is a post strike alteration of the coin. Quality can vary from very crude to quite well...
A die marriage is a pairing of a given obv and rev die to create a die variety. For example dies are normally identified by numbers and rev by...
This is a vampire hub piece and unless he has just happened to stumble onto the exact coin the hub was created from it is a fake. About 99.9999%...
OK those are MUCH better than Good to Fair condition. And they are definitely worth more than the 1 to 2 dollars each I said earlier. But I...
Can you buy the boxes? You might try these, I think they are pretty close....
For re-holdering I believe the W and T designations will carry over, re-grading they won't.
I think they are out of business AGAIN. They have had at least seven owners under that name, plus DLRC owned and ran it as DGS for a year. (Two...
Don't do it. In Good those dates are worth less than $2 each. In Fair you can probably pick them up for about $1 each.
I often wonder how Michael Collins felt when he became the loneliest man in history. After Armstrong and Aldrin left in the lander and he...
Yes the 2 looks like it may be a partial grease fill.
If you bite hard enough (and don't break your tooth) it IS possible to put a mark on a gold coin (I've done it). What is much MORE likely is they...
Yeah, 99.99% of the collection is locked away in the vaults. Pictures I've seen of the display area makes it look about the size of a walk in closet.
That is why delivery confirmation is worthless. Yes it was delivered.....somewhere. And as long as it is marked delivered you are stuck and ebay...
Separate names with a comma.
