Numismatic value isn't very significant here, so I think it all rides on the authenticity and bullion value. Either way, at $122 you shouldn't be...
Post it for a diagnostic. Many dateless Buffalo can be dated.
Nice find (I agree with the impaired proof possibility). As a general rule, very little of what you'll find through CRH or pocket change will...
Sorry, it doesn't look like a DDO. Here are the markers for the 4 stages of the DDO:...
For what it's worth, I bought a metal detector from Radio Shack when I was a kid with tip money from my paper routes. Around $50. I used that...

Raw as far as I know Chris. The coins I’ve purchased have been in flips and cherrypicked so the seller either didn’t know or care. So I paid the...
Chris was wondering if it be worth his while to search his 5 rolls of UNC 1973Ds. If he finds one of the 14 or so Varieties for the date he may...
