That's right! You heard it here first. Only the Secret Service can authenticate old notes.
Are you sure you didn't dial the wrong number? Your experience sounds like somebody was messing with you. Years ago our phone number was just...
I don't see any wear either. They all look to be MS but it's hard to see much from those dark photos. Shed a little more light on the subject(s)...
If you can get the coil down inside your holes that would be fine. But I try to keep my holes as small as possible and my coil won't fit down...
To repeat what has already been said, buy the best MD you can afford. If you go cheap you will regret it. I have used a White's Spectrum XLT since...

Cool find. Those are some good-looking, frosty coins.
I doubt that very many - if any - remain in circulation. Rather, the occasional Silver Certificate that is found most likely had just reentered...
I see nothing. NOTHING!
Same here. Back when I used a kerosene heater I created all sorts of interesting zinc cents by placing them on the top of the unit. Leave them...
I agree - looks like it has either been in a fire or has been heated sufficiently to destroy the copper plating. Do you own a magmet? If so you...

You mean some dealers will claim to be a "private collector" so they can buy coins that sellers did not want to sell to a dealer?!?! Say it ain't...
