I have to agree with others, a cast version of a pine tree shilling. These were mass produced and put in cereal boxes before there were laws...
Yeah, that is a good idea. I always round out my danscos with other coins, like I have some 45 micro s at the end of the mercury dime book. I have...
Given the potential gain, do you think it might be worth sending to NCS? One would hope its just old lacquer or similar, since others here are...
Of course. I would bet most B&M cannot survive just selling to local collectors, and I would guess half basically pay the rent by buying low and...
My friend has a coin similar, but with FAKE chops. Just like in ancient Greece, as soon as bankers started chopping to prove authenticity, fakers...
OP, I would go to both shows. Big shows can be fun, but many deals also pop up at local shows. If my son told me he wants to complete a...
My worst stories actually come from my favorite shop growing up. My favorite shop was run half the time by a great old dealer named Ben. He was...
Very interesting. Thanks. I admit I wasn't really saying it was, since I agree the copper and silver in the coin can tone, just asking a what if...
Brings back memories. I was given a similar kit in 1976 bought from JCPenney's. In fact, I still have the two black boxes they came in. The big...
I agree with Fushia, go to a local coin store and you can find these used much cheaper. The tip for Ebay is a good one too. I got a Mexican type...
While I respect your opinion TonedCoins, I think Winged coin looks very original. The $20 you posted is something I have never seen before, but...
Jim, Thanks for pointing these out. All I am saying is there are good reasons to have a paper market, as expenses of physically handling PM,...
I think what you say Winged about the other metals toning on the coin is fair Winged. I was just asking, and pointing out my thought also that is...
Just asking a question so please do not throw internet rocks. Is it really toning if it is on a non-reactive metal? What I am saying it, if these...
I am not sure of the market price, but that coin is VG, not VG/F. I would pay VG money for it.
Not trying to argue, but that point also has a counterbalance. If you have to take physical delivery, then its hard for buyers to absorb extra...
Um, I am wondering what a 1906 US Dollar is? They did not make any US dollars between 1905 and 1920 as far as I remember.
They are saying if silver manufacturers pull their inventory from other exchanges and sell in China that maybe the CHina market being higher would...
I read the act required registration of the contract if physical delivery was not going to be within 30 days. It was originally written for any...
I don't view these coins as fakes, merely fantasy peices. They are not, to my knowledge, imitating real coins. These I do not mind, since they are...
