The article I read this morning was talking about some dealers putting silver on cargo flights to London, because the higher premiums there...
Ugh, all these familiar faces getting older. I don't know what I'd do if it started happening to me...
It's always worth doing a magnet check, but the last few fakes I've checked apparently were silver-plated copper rather than iron/steel. They get...
Even then, it wouldn't be very radioactive. Less than an old-school smoke detector. But they'd have a really hard time getting larger lots past...
Okay, at that weight, diameter, and thickness, I don't think this is likely to be gold-plated base metal. It would have to be noticeably thicker...
The Peace dollar looks like cartoon line art. We see those fairly frequently on eBay and the like. I think of them as "not even trying" fakes....
I missed the 4% discrepancy on the weight on my first read-through. Yeah, these coins would never have been that far out of tolerance when struck,...
No, it won't, in this context. Gold blocks X-rays too effectively. An XRF gun can only give a reading on the 10-15 microns of a high-gold alloy....
I'm guessing that gold dollars would be about the last target for tungsten-core fakes. There's just not that much room inside them to displace...
[ATTACH] Made by an ancestor on my wife's side in the late 1800s. I'd love to fill it with gold, but neither the budget nor the floor would...
Looks nice, and nicely portable. Hope nobody unexpected ports it. ;)
Pro tip: if you ease off on the fireworks orders, you might not need to order so many body parts...
I think if they frequently sold details coins as AU at $(xxxx) instead of as cleaned/ex-jewelry at $(xxxx - 100), they'd quickly have so many...
Well, they do have a separate entry for cleaned/ex-jewelry coins. Absolutely could, but isn't guaranteed to - and when considering ordering...
Things are getting strange. Check out the category listings and pricing this afternoon from Money Metals: [ATTACH] Why are "AU" raw Saints...
There sure is. And thank goodness I can get my fellowship and education here, without facing scary physically-present people... :nailbiting:
That's... quite a chart. Stalled for a few minutes at $50, then punched straight past $51. Wonder if $50 is now a floor... [ATTACH]
I was thinking along the same lines, but wondered if the striking process might have left the copper layer thinner toward the center. I doubt it;...
Better controlled than that, and at lower temperatures. I hope.
Tell me where you get your news without telling me where you get your news... ;)
