You know, you've got a point here, and I am remiss in not more closely exploring that aspect originally given the number of counterfeits extant....
That post was a thoroughly enjoyable read. :) I have to differ with what I quoted of it, though. The TPG's are responsible for a dramatic...
Well said. The keys tend to move stably; over the long run your profit as a percentage of initial investment won't change a whole lot in any...
You have a terrific eye for the good ones, Jdiablo30. You're just_not going to find a better-struck 1915.
The website itself is available in multiple languages (drop-down in upper right); I don't know if they leverage Google Translate or not. That's...

My buddy and I stuffed a 289 into a Pinto when we were teenagers. That was a fun car. Original rear end (until we blew it up), one wheel peel,...
Actually, I can't really ignore it, since it's elsewhere on the obverse and on the reverse as well and is likely the cause of the questionable...
Yeah, he's even got other correct clips for sale.
Still thinking on that. It seems too regular, too even, not to be deliberate.
There is a very simple truth about die/hub doubling and double strikes vs. strike/machine doubling which seems to occasionally get ignored: true...
Ah. You ain't giving that one up, then. :)
The first question which comes to my mind is, "How does he think he's going to acquire 5% of the entire surviving pieces of an issue?" You're...
Looks like it was used as a shim for something, or possibly as a stunt double in an action flick where the hero was a State Quarter which...
