Probably a little overwhelming for a "first time" experience. I'd recommend a small local show, but of course that depends on your location....
I'm not sure if this seller is activily selling fakes, as 99% of his items are world coins/notes. I did find two Morgans, both PCGS slabbed. I...
Well, I don't know about the "super shiny" part, but an eBay seller located in China immediately sends up a red flag.
I thought the same thing when I read the title of the thread. "Throw in the towel" means to quit, as in "leaving numismatics altogether." But to...
I know you've been pushing for these Drago, but here's my take: the number of cash transaction involving $500 + is very limlited; most people...
Take a look at eBay, both BIN and auction format; pay attention to the coins that have bids, as many of the BIN's are overpriced. No matter where...
Except the (40) war nickels as you stated earlier.
Absolutely confusing (as indicated by the OP). He had the good sense to post his concerns here on CT... most buyers just believe the hype and "buy...
Yep, there are only 14.5833 troy ounces in a pound. And for the OP, PM pricing is based on troy ounces. Cas has it correct, and you can always...

I agree. Possibly hidden somewhere in the 2700+ listings on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/sch/Roman-Provincial-100-400-AD-/4735/i.html
You must mean diameter, and for a coin that size, weight seems way too low.
I remember back in the 1950's that there were a number of keychain manufacturers that used silver or gold plated Lincoln cents encased in a bezel....
I don't know about that... maybe Uncle Eddie would: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoX52GkTUD8
I think your "silver dollar expert" needs to take a remedial course in detecting obvious counterfeits.
Well, that's the standard "grandfather" story, used by many sellers of questionable items. Craigslist, eBay, flea markets, garage sales... we all...
Plus mushy details, "fade away" dentils and "orange peel" effect on the rim.
Compare it to the high resolution photos of this example. Make sure you scroll down to the body of the auction to view the pics....
