Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but that seems exactly wrong to me. This scratch is from an object being dragged across the coin's face from top...
I was thinking to ask what difference there would be between 3:00 and 9:00. The important thing is to have the light direction perpendicular to...
Okay, that first ender is deeply disturbing. [IMG]
The Oxygen Catastrophe. I wonder if there were cyanobacteria saying "no way the little bit of oxygen I put out could destroy the planet". And it...
If a coin circulates long enough to reach VF, it's a successful counterfeit. Although I supposed there are plenty of fakes struck in what appears...
Apparently I mentally autocorrected the original post while I was reading it.

They deserve it more than basketball or baseball, I'd say. Commemorating sports, yeesh. Now, produce an Ultimate or Freestyle commemorative, with...
Hey, look at it this way: the spiraling premiums will kill interest in the sets, sales will plummet, and we'll enter a new golden age of modern...
OMG, he finally got through to someone! https://www.cointalk.com/threads/2-bill-vs-2-coin.180866/...
I'll confess that I went nearly all-in on the Apollo commemoratives. Since then, I've mostly bought only to flip.
Okay, after @Dave Waterstraat's post, maybe it's "all of the above". I didn't see the strikethrough the first time, but now that he's called...
Looks like a hit -- striations parallel to the direction of the impact, displaced metal -- but it kinda looks like it hit a spot that had a...
Separate names with a comma.
