Nice half cent! I just bought one myself, but haven't received it yet. As for background color, I agree with Jack, at least with coppers. White is...
Is it just me, or is this confusing to anyone else? It sounds like the Gov is saying it's ok to circulate fake money, so long as it's labeled as...
At least he's honest about them being replicas, and not trying to pass them as genuine like a lot of others. Guy~
Cool idea! You could sell those things. Guy~
Gains on coins are taxed at the 28% rate, but there are exceptions: Unfortunately, I imagine for most people that are able to collect and...

Look at the face of Liberty. To the right of her mouth and on her cheek you can see an almost swirl pattern of light scratches. That is caused...
Not bad for a first capped bust. All it takes is that one and you're hooked! Guy~
I don't think it should matter who reports it. If a seller has a fraudulent listing, what difference does it make whether it's another seller or a...
I have several hundred coins my grandparents gave to me that I'll never part with. They're the ones who first got me interested in coins 30+ years...
