Ouch, I feel that. I've got (for now) a healthy back, but it still gets to be a little painful doing a long prep and cleanup at our normal-height...
Those floating devices are one of the main signs I use to spot counterfeits. It took me a little while to realize that they appear on legitimate...
Now I know what it reminds me of! It reminds me of the bridge of my nose, post-crash and post-stitches. :(
It's just markings on the slab. ;)
I was all set to say PMD on this one, with the colors making it look like acid damage -- but I wonder if this actually started as a planchet...
Can't "Like" this, but couldn't agree more. :(
This probably revisits ground from your other thread, but I disagree with this. If the coin does not straight grade, that doesn't say anything...

It was down over 2% earlier in the day (just before 10AM EDT); silver was down even more than that. Both have bounced back from that dip, silver...
LOL, maybe keep that detail confidential when it's time to sell! :stinkyfeet:
I'm a nickel neophyte, but it doesn't look to me like any of the steps are fully defined across their entire width. I'm curious about what's...
I don't think I realized that there were any silent color films... o_O
I thought the Maya Angelou design was just OK, until I saw one in-hand with uncirculated luster. It really comes to life. I'm looking forward to...
Contrast with today, when our cent, purchasing power about 1/17 of that half-cent in 1854, is still minted by the billions. Maybe people were...
