And I'm far enough out of the field that I can't recognize jokes, so... why am I posting here again? :oops: :D
I didn't see the exact assays in the linked article, only that the product "remained above 99.99". Going from 99.996 to 99.992 would amount to a...
I'm not a paper collector either, as I said, but I'd expect the decimal point to land in a different place there. Edit: I see a fainter one that...
Not a paper collector, but I'll be interested to see what the experts say. Welcome to CoinTalk!
Yep, our first show's coming up Saturday. Not sure if I'll be buying anything, but I'll post here if I get something worthwhile.
That looks very much like the one I bought. Not sure if it's identical -- I don't remember the little indent for the calibration weight -- but the...
If you really want milligram (0.001g) resolution, you'll probably want a cover like that one has, but I don't think I'd like the hinged-door...
2000 year something? I've seen LOTS of 2000-year-old coins that have held up better than a 20-year-old Zincoln. At least future archaeologists...
When I started collecting, the whole country was drowning in 1964 nickels, many of them still like new. Eventually they did wear down. Today,...
Sure enough, back under 20. Maybe I should be looking to buy this weekend -- nah, shows are for selling. For buying, it's underpriced lots on...
The posters above were talking about someone polishing the die, not the coin. The die strikes the planchet to press the design into it. If the...
One thing you can be sure of: if you always think a recession is right around the corner, from time to time you'll be right, guaranteed. At this...
Insider tip: the local show where I typically sell silver to dealers is this Saturday. Don't expect any sort of recovery until Monday. :banghead:
(And might I add that the thread title made me twitch -- one reason I haven't pushed my own father harder to get on the Internet is the fear that...
Twenty six-year-olds? I had enough trouble dealing with one 4-year-old and one 6-year-old. I'm sure my wife would agree. Oh, wait...
That's the way I'm reading it.
What's the problem? He does say Crazy right there in the auction description, so it's not like he's trying to hide his affliction...
We talk about "nicotine" being left on things all the time, but that's not the smelly component, right? I'd imagine it's the tars and other...
That last photo does not appear to show the leg wear that the first one did, at least to my eyes.
That one on the left is as fully struck as I've ever seen an SLQ. Wow! Sure, I can see the flat area on Liberty's knee. I just can't tell from...
Separate names with a comma.
