How's GM's stock? It went to 0. The GM of today is not the same company pre bailout. I don't think people realize that GM went belly-up. I have...
I dumped all my silver that wasn't nailed down when it hit $42. I was in it $6 - $8 per oz. I know what a bubble looks like. I didn't lose, but...
And maybe on the Sesqi half dollar. He may have engraved some foreign coins struck by the U.S. Mint.
Fake. 1879's were Proof only. This one isn't silver - it's a Chinese knock-off.
I know that the first French Fies were made in Grease.
X-ray defraction if available. First I would have done specific gravity. Scratching would be way down the list for me.
I do. I actually have a B.S. in Chemistry. I only use analytical grade solvents on my coins due to issues with residues that can be left behind by...

So a happy surprise. I have purchased gold American Eagles and gotten them in MS69 slabs at no premium. You should be able to see what a Lou...
The sharp, wide borders. If you tip it on its side you will see how sharp and flat the edge is.
The chain mail isn't very deep and is in low relief. The slightest bit of wear takes any that was there off. Three stars under the eagle and hair...
No, maybe put it on eBay. Most people on here purchase the coins, and just think of the slab labels as gimmicks.
A cent, unless it is a proof with the missing 'S'. They have only used the 'P' mint mark on cents in 2017, so a 1990 w/o a mint mark is normal.
$25 or so.
I would guess that someone did a little bead blasting to help the cameo contrast a bit.
Very frosty. Not as baggy as the typical 85-CC, but lots of tiny marks - probably from the album. The reverse is VERY nice. The scuff on the...
Pics are not detailed enough to see the MM closely enough.
