The toning looks NT to me. Not too crazy about the black smudge that makes the miner look like he has a tail, or the spotty toning around his head...
Looks like 1, as the "five cents" isn't recessed. Guy~
That pretty much describes Sahara Coins perfectly. Guy~
I agree, Fools Gold, especially if you're going to put your face and thought out there for all to see, at least make it comprehensible. But, I'm...
I think you just answered your own question. They're on Youtube, where anyone with a first grade education can post a video, so that says a lot. Guy~
I have to wonder if the items sold for a gain were stored physically by you if a write-off is in order on the gains for storage fees, handling...
That would be wise. And, not to throw another wrench into the works for you here, but it is possible to have a very nicely matched set without...
I have a pre computer version of excell I like to use. In other words, a spreadsheet on paper. This way it's portable and I can take it to shows...
Not sure I understand your question too well. But, fiat money as people like to think of it today, really isn't anything new. If a money has no...
Because this is a coin forum, and as hard is it is to believe, not every coin is made of gold. I don't think it's a "bad investment". I do think...
Like Carl, I collect them all. Mostly US coins, but I like ancients and some foreign as well. Plus paper, old mining bonds, or anything that has...
There are varieties in I believe every year. You'll go mad if you try to collect them all. I don't think anyone ever has done so. But, it makes it...
I don't believe thats true. In fact, I have all but three for a complete set, and those three are expensive, but not out of reach. Maybe if you...
Honest mistake. I think we've all been there. Hope if it is a fake you're able to get your money back. Guy~
I'm no expert on trade dollars, but to me the color looks way off, not to mention the reverse looks sand cast. After the 2.98 million threads on...
Looks like a shrunken coin to me. There's at least one person who makes these from real coins and you can buy for a small fee. Check out his site:...
Weird question, and one I never really thought about before. But, now that I am thinking about it it does seem odd there aren't more. Where I live...
It's always hit or miss there. I've been going in there long before the show, as well as other pawn shops, and coins don't seem to be their thing....
Thats a lot for a nickel that looks like the reverse was run over a few times. Color is nice though. Guy~
Only if you want to preserve them as ruined coins. Petroleum jellies have harsh chemicals and oils as additives that I believe will turn copper...
