I wouldn't get too upset about the cleaned coins. It doesn't make them worthless, just worth less. Even highly respected dealers such as Harlan...
You are correct. So the 40% halves are still the best buy for junk silver.
Your math appears correct. This brings up an interesting point. Unlike 90% or 40% silver coins, the value of the silver in a nickel is less than...
Silver is a pretty special material for industry. Silver halides have greater sensitivity to light than any known chemical. It conducts heat and...
You really have a well-trained eye for coins. Nice going!
Dan - It sounds like you were very "refreshed" when you left the club! Or maybe you got the tattoo and forgot where they put it.

Prices in that range are inevitable. The only uncertainty is when it will happen. Don't get too excited. If/when gold is $1,000 per ounce and...
The coin hobby will continue because the coins will continue to exist. Unless they are melted down, somebody will have to own them. High prices...
I'm currently checking every coin that goes through the household before it is spent. Occasionally there will be something mildly interesting...
I might be willing to take a chance on the silver round bidding bullion value less postage because the financial risk is small. I'd never buy a...
Does forty eleven come before or after umpteen?
I disagree about gold being a commodity, at least in the normal sense of the term. Most of the gold ever mined since the beginning of...
