I agree. Leave the politicians off the coin. Let's actually celebrate the charity and not involve politics. O-2 or O-8 with R-18 would be an...
Weight, diameter, and thickness. Hard to fool all three with gold. Silver, yeah, pretty easy. Gold is too heavy to easily fool.
Why? I do not disagree with the Secret Service saying these are illegal. They are government property, that the US has never officially renounced...
Nice Roman Egyptians. I always have loved Serapis coins especially.
Man, good thing I am not a dealer. I would lose a lot of money, but have lots and lots of coins to play with!
I would be willing to bet you today that if silver spikes up to $70 an ounce fairly quickly almost all or all of these pucks will trade for melt....
Man you are tough. 20 years ago when I was buying a lot of these I wouldn't have objected if the 1811 was described as XF. Its boderline gVF/low...

Nah, its just us old idiots who actually had to learn to grade a coin on our own before the beloved TPG's were invented to take this dreary task...
A nickel not very long ago was 8 cents melt value. I believe we will see this figure again fairly soon. So, $500 in nickels will be worth $800...
One, you are assuming the purchaser only owns these. What if a prospective buyer, like me, spends hundreds a month on collectible coins already?...
Thanks for the link. Maybe I misheard or the presenter was mistaken. I do think it was in the US he was referring.
I know what you are talking about using the wrong staff Doug, but I think its older than that. At least that is what someone in our ancient coin...
I would agree with that. TBH I though the grades given were not far off the mark. I wouldn't have risked having them downgraded.
Just saying sports memorabilia has historically gone hand in hand with autographs of players. When was the last time you saw someone collecting a...
