Thad, is there any way you can run you x-Ray spectrophotometer on a small enough piece of these to tell us anything?
Your coins. You set the rules. However, if you have enough in your trash bin, try them all at once.
How did I miss #4?
That picture leaves a lot to be desired, but I think I see no notch in the 7, the top tail of the 9 pointing to the right, and the bottom tail of...
The reason they will not set a maximum for coins is that you are allowed to charge for insurance. When you sell a $10,000 coin, that is...
My guess is that if you ask eBay, they will adjust it - one way or another. The only way you will find out is to call/contact them - live help if...
The only policy I have ever seen was applicable to ALL categories. See http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/selling-practices.html. I see not one...
I am reasonably sure that is not a planchet flaw either. I am pretty sure that is a die problem. However, in this case I am not absolutely...

I am pretty sure it is the one I found that states specifically "NO COMBINED SHIPPING." Call eBay and see what they have to say. Aside from...
As badly corroded as that is, it is still mostly a guess. However, the middle of the large "S" is sloped down while the small "S" is just about...
The 40 is clean enough that I am pretty sure it is a small "S". That 28 is just too messed up to see which "S" that is without a bigger picture.
Yes, Doug, I understand what you are saying happened in that area. I have no idea how much plainer I can state it. That is not a rub, not a...
My main argument was with the line "For one thing planchet marks do not remain on the high parts but on the low areas, metal flow wipes out any...
