You know how a D mintmark can mean Dahlonega (19th century gold) or Denver (20th-21st century coins)? Well, apparently CC can mean Carson City...
I scooted over for the annual Raleigh Money Expo earlier today. Didn't spend as long as usual, but some quick notes: The show was VERY...
If I knew silver would be 20% higher a year from now, but I also knew that I could make 10% on the spread buying and selling, and I knew I could...
Wish I could Like this a thousand times. I'll settle for voting Best Answer, and bookmarking it so I can post it in every other thread that shows...
CuNi clad Washington quarters weigh 5.67 grams with a tolerance of ± 0.227 grams. Your coin is well within normal tolerances. Weigh enough other...
Of course, as long as they can keep using that worthless fiat TP to buy more PM than they sold for it, they've got... a business model! But I'll...

Chlorinated plastics generally give off little green bursts as they burn, even without the metal, right?
Hmm. I'd be suspicious, too. If I had them in hand, I'd sacrifice one of each by cutting off a strip and doing a burn test (outside!). So you're...
