Unless they're lying, isn't there at least ten 1933 Double Eagles there? At $7.5 each that makes at least $75 million in gold :rolleyes:
If it feels oily put it down and don't touch it again. Many coins with that "feel" have been dipped in mercury. Mercury is VERY toxic and can be...
So far I haven't had to buy a raw coin to complete a set that's been cleaned. Do I have cleaned coins in my collection? With essentially 100%...
I want to know which parts are VG and which parts are XF. And of course the grades in between.
If K7 means the 7 o'clock position, I think the odd appearance of the dentils is strictly a function of the lighting and camera angle when the...
1. I don't think you need to be concerned about the linked coin being faked. It doesn't have enough value to be counterfeited. 2. It has a...
Yep, I'll be there on Friday. I went last year too. I take Amtrak up from DC. I have to go to the big shows. The coins I need can't be found...
Heck with my wonky $10 MPC. Your "war stories" are a LOT more interesting. I was in the pre-Nam Army so don't have a history like yours. Fired...
Now I'm puzzled. Series 651 was first issued in 1969. Within memory my only Korea connection was in 1954/55. And my Japan connection was in...
Thanks. I was reasonably sure the extraneous marks would be a negative. But I got it out of circulation quite a few years ago. So anything...
The K&M catalog will have the info I want BUT I'll have to get 2 volumes and of course they cover the whole world (which means they cost more). I...
Okay, here's the full scan of each side. And the corner you noticed is NOT missing. It was just folded over. [Links, not images because of...
This MPC has seen better days. My question is, "How bad IS it?" It is flimsy in the middle. My KP (Cuhaj, 12th edition) only has VF as the...
I purposely cropped the note to show the error AND to allow an identification. I thought a full scan was illegal. I've got the scans. What do I...
Is this error on the reverse of a $5 bill significant? Or is it just minor? [IMG]
You can't say AU-50 or XF-45 in conjunction with raw coins. And that not only applies to the title, but also the description. I found that out...
Interesting. Your second link appears to have what I want BUT the "EURO CATALOGUE - Coins and Bank Notes 2010" doesn't specifically say coin...
The words "UNC DETAILS" in the title is a definite put-off. That's the same sort of wording NGC uses for cleaned coins. I'd pass. There will be...
Because getting coins for my main collections happens only 4-6 times a year I want to start an inexpensive "fun" collection. Something to keep...
A dealer wouldn't pay you that much for the coin, but the price is not unreasonable for a collector to pay a dealer. About $50 less would be...
Separate names with a comma.
