Ranchhand, Have you met Lehigh? He is a toning freak and I'm sure he would love your toned Commems.
This borders on criminal. In fact, it is criminal. Can you say "mail fraud"? (It is mail fraud if one uses the USPS as part of illegal behavior.)
Based on your pics the luster looks to be unbroken meaning the coin is MS. But I see lots of hits and marks and rim dings on the obverse. I would...
$1,075 now. The eventual buyer would do better to use that money to place a bet on a Roulette wheel at a casino in Vegas. At least at the casino...
(We are talking about the ANA magazine - the Numismatist.) Also, they have to appeal to collectors of all levels, from brand new collectors to...

I subscribe to Coin World (and Coin Values that comes with it). I also pick up an occasional Coinage magazine. One periodical that you did not...
Use the Red Book (or the Blue Book) as a guide only. The prices listed are rarely accurate. The Red Book is a great reference for mintage figures...
I'll hold my breath, Peter. :bigeyes:
I've seen worse "NT" coins than that on eBay. It's sad but somebody will buy that coin - because they like the colors - thinking it is NT. If they...
If it were a coin I would call it a 'fantasy piece'. The same may be true for currency. Whatever you call it it is not genuine and spending it...
