Looks like it was overstruck with the orange-hoodie design now. ;)
I can't think of any current "frivolities" that come anywhere close to the levels consumed for photography prior to the 2000s...? (When this...
I was gonna say that this sounded more like a "talk to your doctor" moment. ;) Nice pick! I'm not a fan of the "brothel tokens" made as...
I don't know -- I've gotten a lot more mileage out of the interests sparked by those STEM toys than I would have from a handful of GSA dollars. ;)
Well, that certainly looks legit. I'll be eager to hear what the shop says!
Baking soda and a toothbrush will work, but for that number of coins, I'd be tempted to try a white vinegar soak. That'll change the color of the...
I'd love to have a Judd-1992 Walking LiberTy pattern. But if I were going to spend that kind of money, I'd rather get a really good XRF scanner,...
I used to feel the same way, but then I got sucked into searching for key dates and better grades, and now I've sort of come around. The...

Looks like another Missing Planchet error...
If the color of your gold coins puts you off, I'd be happy to relieve you of the burden. ;) Do you really find that Saints in general have a...
Reminds me of the bank teller years ago that was bragging about someone bringing in a bunch of old silver dollars, which she bought to give to...
I noticed that one, too. Oh, yeah, I already posted a photo of the Humbert...
No way to tell from those pictures, except that yes, it was mistreated at some point. I don't think those photos would let anyone accurately...
It would be a stretch, given that the coins are considered "damaged" as a result of being cleaned/polished. Silver value for each set is in that...
This was from the Raleigh show, right? I believe I saw that display of Bechtler gold. One of the ones where I feel nervous looking at it for too...
Yep, I saw that table. WOW.
