Lol, yeah but I learned on 1964 dated junk silver. It's a lot cheaper. :)
Half an hour in dip? Good grief man, "overdipping" is leaving it in there over a few seconds. I am surprised the coin didn't melt.
Well first, a mutilated reeded edge coin is not the same as a mint error, since a mint error is as struck, there for by definition not mutilated....
Nope. Its not like you can spend stamps, and small denominations are a pain to use, and small denominations from this period were massively...
Looks more like someone who bought discounted postage from a stamp dealer. That stuff from the 60's and 70's can be bought for like 80 cents on...
I have some. Packages from Uzbekistan, Cyprus, etc are interesting.
What the heck are you searching for? Heck, I have searches that when I get back 120 results I groan because all of the time it will take me to go...
It has a lot more value because its in the exumania its in. A cent like that by itself is worth a few cents. The piece like that is interesting to...
Yeah, but the mint was noted for selling off pattern coins to collectors in the 19th century. How many 20th century pattern coins do you see in...
Dipping is weird. I don't know the exact science going on, but it seems the most reactive silver is on the surface. So, freshly struck silver...
Tom B is right. However, the "problem" is there is no uniform look to a dipped coin. I can take a ugly 1955 Franklin, dip it ONCE properly, and...
Oh, come on, that is just salesmanship. Every seller of an item will use about anything they can to convince you to pay their price, not yours. :)...
They were "loaned" to congressmen at the time so they could make an intelligent decision on the proposed law. Afterwards, the mint formally asked...
I cannot speak of the bags of these dealers, but I have seen tons of junk silver bags. For halves, you will get up to VF walkers, AU Franklins,...
Our court system? Heck, six months just to schedule a preliminary hearing. Somewhere along the way "speedy justice" became a foreign term in this...
I sure as heck HOPE they avoid coins as investments. Coins should be your hobby, not investments. Junk silver can be an investment, but not...
I know Iowa does. I participated in a sting in 1980. In Iowa, if a professional lies in a material way about the value of an item to a...
I agree with the others. At some point someone "improved" it with silverware polish. Still, that does not matter as much as family history.
Again, I agree with your points Doug. Way too many people blame dealers for their own lack of knowledge. Regarding a profit of 100 percent on...
I agree with nearly everything you say Doug. I didn't go into lower or higher value items since the OP didn't ask, but even for the same value...
