I did an experiment this week doing the boiled egg trick on a nearly worthless silver coin. My advice? You better babysit that thing or you'll be...
The coin has a really ragged rim bottom. I don't even try to figure out gold grades. I've seen slabbed gold coins and the differences in grades...
That's awesome. Reminds me of some of the NFL coaches talking about "chopping wood", if anyone remembers that line. Beautiful coin by the way.
Yeah, but you veterans are just being honest. Pawn shops? Not so much. Not even close. No one here has a vested interest in taking advantage of...

Some of you fellers make me feel like a youngster. And I'll be 68 in June.:D
I get you but.......what if I had a warehouse full of Edsels but no one was interested?
As a former stamp collector as a kid, I just can't see going back there again. Stamp collecting seems to have very little interest these days. I...
