Its a really, really cool piece Bruce. And just think how lucky it was that a counterstamp collector got it in change! As much as I hate having...
Yes, postage is huge. If I really want one particular coin, I also try to find other coins from the same seller in order to be able to combine the...
Sir, any dealer who would EVER refuse to take back a coin proven fake is not a good coin dealer. If they say "all sales are final" ask them about...
David Bowers is in it only for the profit? He is probably the most prolific numismatic writer. David Sear? Many numismatic researchers become...
For a few days. Let's test this. Find someone who is not huge into coins. Have them go onto Ebay and select some coins. Then, with no help from...
Btw, concerning this passage. Where do you think most knowledge from the internet and coin clubs come from? Where do those club members get their...
Really? You believe most collectors in a few days KNOW a coin is false? Good gosh, I have been around coins goign on close to 40 years now, and...

I scratch the heck out of my slabs, (with a hammer). I bet you that one could experiment with various rubbing compounds and find something that...
The Gold Coins books is just a hair over $40 here: http://www.abebooks.com/book-search/isbn/9780794822545/page-1/
Congrats man! Nice looking large cent.

I see it a lot too. I just got a coin like my avatar on Ebay for $61, (usually they go for around $200), but I have also seen similar items go for...
