It happened at my house when I was 6.
Hi, Steve. Does it look like this? I looked thru my Ikes and found a 1976D T1 with milling striations. The reverse is just awful and the...
Can you post a clear photo? That would help. As mentioned above, there are tons of very good (deceptive) copies and the odds are greatly in...
I'm hoping I'm wrong! Keep your fingers crossed, just in case....
It's the $2 for insurance that seems a little steep. Are you trying to make up for low bidding with mandatory high insurance cost?? ;-)
Well, if I find one I'll post it for authentication. I did find a nice doubled die obverse 1931 1/2d. Pretty neat.
I totally agree with you and so does any knowledgeable numismatist, but, I hope you have a good attorney. Your heart is good but your plan is...
Haven't come across any of those, yet. I'm still looking. It's pretty amazing, sometimes a dealer will buy a collection with a lot of foreign...
Cool! Thanks! Found this and just about all my Australian coppers in a coin dealers junk box. Got a few 1946 1p, 1931 1/2p, 1911 1p, 1939 'Roo...

A vise, I think.
They probably noticed it, but I don't think they felt it was worth noting. Maybe as much as 5 - 10% are rotated a little. A bicentennial date...
Hey, Ed. Thanks for posting a link to my photo. This is a Gallery Mint Museum Concept Dollar and the reverse was actually considered as one of...
This works great for icons.
Nice rotated die error, looks like about a 15 degree rotation. There usually isn't much of a premium until the rotation is 30 degrees or more,...
Another thing that works for me is to firmly grab the holder, the top in on hand and the bottom in the other hand, and twist back and forth. The...
This is a 1920 Australian 1 penny. Is this a dot under the scroll? I've enhanced the photo to bring it out, but it is barely visible on the...
Speedy, your enthusiasm and your affection for your coins is inspiring! No foolin'. I don't doubt that you will be a real force in numismatics...
Here's the other side of my avatar. This is the real color, too.
