I was in West Virginia during summer break from college about 10 years ago doing a service project. We were tearing down an old house so they...
The sticker reminds me of another one: When you buy the coin and it shows up taped to a piece of paper or index card. Not inside something and...
1. People who list all their coins with adjectives like "Beautiful! Must see! L@@k!!!! Fantastic shape!" and then you look at the coin and it...
I got the coins today. Here's my picture. $11 in silver regardless, but they look pretty good.
The way the question is phrased, the only one who could have made the typo is the seller. Therefore, the person who bought it knew what he was...
True, but it seems hard to see how this could go wrong. It's not a type of coin that is likely to be faked and the price is so low it isn't worth...
In the first case, I'd celebrate. The buyer made an informed purchase and paid what he thought it was worth. In the second place, I'd kick myself...
This was a great auction win for me. Sometimes I see things listed for way less than they're worth and I bid a small amount just for the heck of...
Maybe most of the coin was protected in a 2x2, but part was hanging out while it was being circulated.
I saw this auction on eBay, with the coin described in the title as "mostly uncirculated." Reminds me of the Princess Bride character being...
You mean on shipping? It says that the person receiving the mail has to sign for it, so they can't say they didn't receive it if they did. It's...
What part? There are shops in the Chicago area. If you're downstate or in the western part I don't know.
I understand your perspective. Sometimes I like to buy lots because if it doesn't go for too much I can keep the coins I want and resell the ones...
Inflated shipping charges is one of the worst. And people keep bidding on their coins so they get away with it. I will not pay more than $4 for...
And one more thing on the subject of things that eBay sellers do that makes it hard to buy from them: There is one seller in Australia who has a...
The 1932 Brazil 1000 reis is one of the lowest mintages in the series at 56,000. Krause's prices are low in my opinion since when these come up...
It's a South Africa 1 penny. It's not silver and that's not its normal color. It's plated in something. With the hole it's not worth anything.
You could get a shave and a haircut in exchange for it!
It's silver, but it has a hole in it, so you won't be getting $199 for it. I'm guessing a few bucks. Still good, but no early retirement.
So for those of us who aren't into ancients, what is so terrible about that?
