What a great story. Design a coin for $5,000. Take payment in said coins. Slab them and sell 3,000 of them for $200. Five grand becomes over sixty...
I suspect at some point, someone brushed off the debris from the building that fell on those two coins. So, yes, cleaned.
Even worse, he may well have survived the gunshot wound but died as a result of the surgeons trying to remove the bullet. I agree about the color,...
Bingo!
The state quarters are proof that collecting is a genetic disorder. Our brain tells us that these coins are common, base metal pieces with all the...
Agreed. But if you look through his offerings, he's had his work slabbed by NGC, PCGS and ANACS (all details grade). I guess money talks. To be...
Oh my, yes....even slabs his "art".... [ATTACH]...
A circulated Winged Liberty (aka "Mercury") dime. Looks to be dated 1941-D or 1941-S. Is that what you're asking?

Thanks for the discussion on the Mercury - I almost didn't post it but I'm glad I did. I guess I just don't look at coins under magnification on a...

+1 on peroxide and vinegar. I used it on a couple of dateless buffaloes and found one was a 1919. I would not do it again as I did not like the...
Cool! Liberian coins made in Germany at the American Mint! There's a type set just waiting to happen.
No worries, I was just curious and ran through the math exercise myself. I decided not to hit the "buy it now" button ;)
He's claiming U.S. tons, not metric. 400,000 pennies x 3.11 g = 1244 kg = 2742 lbs per bag 2742 lbs x 15 bags = 41,130 lbs = 20.6 U.S. tons (He...
According to the account linked below, the hoard was photographed. What is not clear is if the 1550 coins kept by the museum were photographed or...
Wow, that listing raises so many questions in my little mind. How does one acquire 400,000 copper cents? Then, how does one do it 14 more...
