I meant 10 times Cu melt of ~$3.20/lb. At least I know that people are actually reading what is posted, rather than everyone speaking. Thank for...
Copper's biggest problem is that it's "heavy", as an old-timer told me about Silver. You have to store too much of it compared to value. You would...
There is an 1859 Maundy set on eBay for sale, and the 2 pence is spelled the same, BEITANNIAR. Looks like a die punch error....
It's not a fake. It may be an error that was caught so few exist, or an error that wasn't discovered until they were finished minting, so they're...
They stopped in the 1970's (I think 1973), and The Royal Canadian Mint jumped into the void with their new Winnipeg mint. They said they were to...
The cheap damaged Trade Dollars used to be the chop-marked pieces, but those days are far behind us.
As Dan Fogelberg sang, "The story is told of the Power of Gold and its lure on the unsuspecting."
Nope, privately minted. The U.S. Mint doesn't strike coins for foreign countries, of which the Sioux Nation would be one of. Well done set, and...
Circulated Morgans in XF are probably $20 retail, $15 wholesale.

I have a dealer friend with a 1936 proof Buffalo Nickel that is wood grained. The worst possible coin to have it on due to the value of proof,...
Don't forget the Canadian $5 and $10 gold from 1912-1914. The RCM just melted the rest of the coins they had on deposit after the release in...
Maybe. I'm sure they include Ammonia, DMSO, toothpicks, Chloroform, weak acids like Acetic acid (found in ketchup and hot sauce), etc.
They wouldn't do that - it would just create more work for them to clean that up too.
No, those are die polishing marks. If they are raised on the coin, they were below the die surface and are ok. If they are sunk in to the...
Why would you buy something if you don't know if it's real. You know, you can buy some Rolex watches for $20. If you bought it because it was a...
I have learned to never ASSUME anything. Alluding is Assuming's first cousin. "Guess what I have behind my back", and "How much is what I am...
I have a couple dozen or so, and I would say they are the size of a nickel, 22mm.
And yet you show a love token as your avatar.
If you like the design, get an American Gold Eagle. Then you can get something more "tasteful" and manageable for size. They come in 1/10, 1/4,...
