Have to love a reply with a 3 dollar word in it. i had to stop and think for a minute exactly what tautological was!
Are these that scarce? I have never heard of them, but remember picking out micro S's out of junk boxes for years. I did it just to pass the time...
+1 I really can see why someone would think these are neat, and would want one. I would require the word COPY is stamped in it is all. How are...
I am not sure about broke, but I think people are cautious with their money. This combined with the fact that summer is always very slow makes for...
Neat purchase. I have to admit I have never paid much attention to my Vatican coins. I have a Sede Vacante, (sp?) from the 19th century is all I...
Old or just poor quality. They are still churning out these poor quality ones, but also striking higher quality fakes.
Agreed. All of what you listed are the "hot list" of fakes and the photos you posted are all poor quality fakes.
I thought the story was going to turn darker. I remember a story of a man at the mall trying to pay for a $5 meal with 3 $2 bills. The kid got his...

I would also throw out that I would bet someone a steak dinner that 1964d silver dollars DO exist. I think they are hiding under a rock, (or safe...
Yours I do not know Leadfoot. I was thinking more like: http://islandcoins.com/peace/peace_1...259868-039.htm which was posted earlier. To...
While we are talking about cheap silver, where would you suggest selling 40% Kennedy's? I have a few, (hundred), and really do not want them, but...
I was commenting on the 10% silver Mexican coins, which since they aren't as common as US coins, and have just a trace of silver, are very...
Hard to tell with the photos. My first guess would be very lightly circulated, in which case I would also say older cleaning. Even a AU 58 IHC is...
I seriously do not think they sell for 4x face when the silver is worth 6.4x face today. I could be wrong...
My concern with buying gold with a credit card, (if these machines accept them), would be fraud. Steal a credit card, go to the gold vending...
