I think most people don't have this in mind when they use the term. 90% silver, where you know the other 10% is pure copper, is at least 90% as...
Can't be done. The administration here is really opposed to it, and they're the only ones with the power to allow it. I don't agree with the...
Grainy texture and "toning" pattern on the obverse were the first things I noticed. I might possibly see them on a genuine coin, but I very...
Possibly better than "sold it".
We need an "Ouch" button to go with the "Like" button. :(
Of course not. It's the job of concerned collectors, and this is a place where it's easy to find concerned collectors. CoinTalk itself plays no...
Maybe people are raising their prices because of eBay's increased fees and general hassle level. I'd be selling into this strength if not for...
But not for the seller, who had the coins in-hand and could easily check their authenticity. That's why auctions for lots like this are a bad bet....
Was this an open auction? If so, and if there was a good chance the coins were genuine, don't you think other knowledgeable collectors would have...
Seems more like at least four times in a lifetime, unless you're really, really young. Still deeply suspicious of this seller, since they seem to...
Nah. ;)
Huh. When I had a holed coin that I wanted to submit to ANACS at a show, they weren't accepting holed coins at all. I guess they go back and forth...
Wonder if it's two people who haven't yet learned to distinguish a "3" from an "8" in the date?
Because someone who looks all around before checking the slot seems so much less sketchy than someone who just checks the slot as he passes... ;)
Not long after the CoinStars appeared in our local grocery, I found a pile of money in the reject bin, gathered it up, and took it to the...
The good news: you've only lost money that you needed to buy coins, not that you needed to cover groceries or rent or car payments. Look at this...
If it keeps going down, putting more money into it is a waste. If it comes back up, that's great -- but realize that you're trying to predict the...
It was started as a joke. A lot of us think it continues as a joke. Leave your money in, or double down with more, and you might get another...
Every once in a while I check the going rate for MS62 1921 Peace dollars on eBay. It was a bit of a shock last time I checked in. They'd been...
Y'know, this might be a good time to use that "edit thread title" feature, just sayin'...
