I agree, Vess. That is one of the better fakes I've seen. No doubt it would fool many. I just hope collectors will do a little bookwork before...
No, the piece posted would not. I'm no expert on Morgans, but I know enough to spot an obvious fake. If you don't buy that then fine. But I...
If you ever visit China Town San Francisco, pick up a couple of fakes. You can usually buy them for about $5 each. It's an education on the cheap. Guy
On the obverse, look at the rim at 5 and 8 o'clock and you can see the reeding extending almost to the top edge of the rim. Thats one example of...
That coin may have been struck, but that rim wasn't part of the striking. I think thats pretty evident in those pics. Guy
They'll never get their rims and edges correct, which is a dead giveaway. They don't make both sides at once like a regular minted coin, but make...
Anyone who collects US silver already has such pieces. Much of the silver used to make US coins in the early days of the Mint were made from old...
Chris brings up the only ethical issue I've ever had with collecting. When historical sites are pillaged and looted for their contents because the...

I'm sure everyone noticed, but perhaps wanted to post something different to add variety, which is what has been done. Your notes are very nice. I...

For $5 it makes for an interesting buy. I wish there was more info I could give you on them. The piece I have was made in Hong Kong for novelty...
My curiosity begs me to ask: if you know nothing at all of these coins, why do you have 112 of them? That said, they are fake. I have one, albeit...
I recommend sheets that are 100% polyester. That was advice I got directly from a paper curator at the Smithsonian. Guy
The problem with the designs oozing from the Mint lately are based solely on the fact that they're made by committee and by political design and...
Thats a well struck, clean Peace dollar, Matt. I'm with you in thinking it may have a chance at moving up a bit. Guy
Just a warning...I think older copper is laced with addictive drugs because once you start there is no stopping. No 12 step copper program has...
The compliments are well deserved....you obviously have a great eye for coins. I don't think you'll have any problem finding the pieces you need,...
Thats a great looking classic head! I would have done the same as you in that situation. Guy
