If this really is just an excessively-plated blank and an XRF misinterpretation, wouldn't its value be a lot lower? I wonder if PCGS has any sort...
I think we're venturing a bit too far into politics here. Let's not get the thread locked, shall we?
I got the "packing your order" update, which I think requires action on the seller's end. Fingers crossed! I was also eyeing this lot, $15.70...
I've had a dealer at a show gently scold me once for including some worn Barber dimes in a lot, and say that he'd generally offer less for coins...
Well, they're pretty heavily worn, so they won't be full silver weight. It'll still be a great deal if it comes through, though.
I'm hoping it works out, but I don't expect to know until Monday - it looks like this is a business/storefront, and I'm not sure how much they...
You may be right. I certainly agree with you on ASEs and Maple Leafs, but it's seemed to me that the spreads on those are higher in general. In...
That seems more plausible. That's one downside of the increasing availability of XRF - people tend to take it as gospel, even in cases where it's...
I appear to have just won a roll of 40 well-circulated Barber quarters for $350 shipped. We'll see whether the seller backs out. (I bought one...
Indeed it is! I hope they hire some good people, and I hope they listen to them. I wonder how the listed salary range stacks up for someone in...
My impression from the last ten or fifteen years is that in general .999 trades at somewhat less of a premium than 90%. (You pay less for it, but...
She's taking classes from the community college, planning to transfer to NC State for mechanical engineering.
Look, I know I've put on some weight, but I'm working on it...
Hmm. I assume the composition on the label is from XRF. I wonder if XRF gives inaccurate readings on bronze because the copper would block the...
But a hyperbolic curve is asymptotic.
I like that better, for the play on "parabolic" with the bonus connotation of "exaggerated".
But in 2009 there were cents struck in bronze as a commemoration of Lincoln's 200th birthday (and the Lincoln cent's 100th).
Yep, the new one looks nice indeed. I don't know if the color is original, but that's always hard to judge from photos anyhow. It certainly looks...
I think I deal with metric nuts and bolts more than imperial at this point. I've certainly got sockets for both systems.
There's a dirty little secret about where new highly intelligent people come from. :rolleyes:
Separate names with a comma.
