Weigh it on a good scale. If it is 2.27 grams, then it's copper-nickel. If it's 2.5 grams [and really 1965], then you're rich!
I don't think "supply and demand" is an answer here. That would answer HOW the price is determined, but not WHY. I don't think anyone pays a...
Thank you for reminding me again why I no longer buy from Ebay.
You may want to hold onto it for a little while. The price of gold is going up and if it breaks $1000 there might be enough frenzy and demand for...
Thanks for reminding me why I don't buy from Ebay anymore.
BigsWick, there is a lot of wisdom in your post. I read it three times not to miss anything.
I'm a recent convert to a standard magnifying glass, which works much better for me than a loupe. I bought a cheap one and I like it so much I...
When it tones/retones it should look fine for the price you paid.
Way too much for a 2006.

This brings up another question. As time passes, a greater percentage of coins will be (1) slabbed and (2) doctored. Could the industry be...
That sounds like a good idea. If you don't have a real interest in a particular coin series and a plan that lasts longer than a month, you're...
The rim is nicked in a few spots. I would say AU but it might just be the photo.
As Dilbert says, "Change is good. You go first."

Sounds like a terrible decision.
One thing to keep in mind as you go through this thread is that overpaying a bit for coins isn't the worst thing you can do in this hobby. The...
