Easier, (and cheaper), way is to simply have a mixture of lighter metals with lead composition. Lead is very useful, it can balance a lot of...
Good post sir. Thanks. The giveaway for me was the packaging. I would have taken more than 2 seconds to guess if they had been in good Danscos. I...
Yes, anyone who purchased one of these coins can have them seized and returned to the ANA any time in the future. This is a huge advantage of...
:) Ok, I meant the SC.
I got an email about half an hour ago from the ANA about it. Looks like the dude skipped the country after being employed there just 3 months, and...
"Cesspool" is our little term of endearment. :) At least we don't have to put little white gloves on for fear of leaving a microscopic mark on...
So Bill you don't see anything unusual about the boldness of the reverse? I usually see these much weaker. The depth of the reverse lettering and...

Yeah its been cleaned, almost all have. Not market unacceptable though in my eyes. I wouldn't worry about your fingers on the edges. These...
Pretty coin, btw. Nice taste. I think you will enjoy that for a very long time. :)
Personally I would just leave it alone, and put it in a container that is safe for coins, like a saflip. No offense, but you are a younger...
Yep. They refuse to do anything about the flood of known counterfeits, but will go out of their way to enforce foreign countries wishing to...
I can't even imagine that many posts. I don't have 5k yet, and sometimes feels like my fingers are falling off from posting too much. :)
