I think the odds are decreasing, just because we seem to be relaxing all the other rules around disposal of hazardous waste.
"AUM" is assets under management, "ETP" is exchange-traded product? Had to Google for those...
Yes, it does, doesn't it?
I don't think the modern (post-silver) S-mint business strikes are ever put directly into circulation, only sold to collectors. So I wouldn't...
If you could order fakes made of actual silver, then get refunds without returns because they're fakes -- that would be an economic model that...
It seems like you're confusing "the dollar" (our unit of currency) and "one particular dollar that I decided to pin all my losses to". If I'm...

Here's what I see from the first two heavily worn Morgans I pulled, along with one that has little wear. Looks to me like OP's coin is right in...
How much math are you willing to do for two or three cents? I think for most people today the answer is "none at all".
