I would agree. What convinces me is things like why are the outlines of the devices sharp yet details a pile of wet mush? Inconsistent denticles,...
I just looked, it was the September 12th issue.
So I was at a local show and they had old Coin World's at the table out front. I grabbed one, not realizing it was from 2016. Eh, I read it anyway...
You are missing an element many people miss. For lower valued items, there is a distinct "mess with it" cost. A dealer is NOT going to list a $.15...
Personally, while I respect his skill, he is only a crook to me. The hobby has to be extremely wary of giving validity to any counterfeits, if...
Eh. He has been attributed with tons of errors as well. For numismatics only he was a very well respected pioneer whose research was not always...
Erm, maybe substitute David Bowers. We do not like to really TALK about Walter Breen in the hobby, due to his other proclivities. OP, I do...
I understand, just pointing out how rarity that SPECIFIC date would be in AG3.

"Investment" is the favorite term of coin dealers. With it, they can try to convince collectors to spend more money than they should on their...

Be careful. There is money in faking quarters and dimes. I have seen listings on Alibaba for them. When you think about it, even a dime, when...
I thought it was just near me. Realtors contact me about my rental home at least monthly.... I guess University for you, Lakeview for me, maybe...
