Full-rim pre-1923 Walkers at melt? Yes, please!
Wow. That's just... wow.
The better date is 1913 no mint mark for Barber halves. (The picture shows a half, not a quarter.) A 1913-S quarter in Good is a thousand-dollar...
I haven't been watching the coin the whole time, of course, but I'm pretty sure that damage existed before the coin went into the holder. If it...
I expect (or at least hope) that the "developing circles" are on the case, not the coin itself. Pictures will help.
Might be a sleeper. I wasn't fond of the headband design, either, until I saw the 2019 "Head Asplode" design.
Wish I could make an arrangement with a local jeweler to get coins like this. If they had bags with Barbers for close to melt, I'd take all they...
Yeah, I also can't see PCGS letting out a label with both Fedral and Plater# right there at the top. And, of course, $30 as one of the...
Looked like bismuth to me.
Hey, that second one doesn't belong. Heavy metal is only a subset of rock when we're talking about music. ;)

If they're dirty with sugar, soaking them in distilled water should do the trick without damaging them further. But if the sugar came from, say, a...
Meh, you can do a lot with a hammer. ;)
Yeah, because the problem is, you can't tell when it's GOING up, only when it's GONE up. If you could, it would make sense to buy when it's going...
This also reminded me to haul the gold I didn't sell at the weekend show out of my backpack and back to the SDB, before it became a pleasant...
...and every day is Christmas!
Y'know, you could undo all this damage that you've done if you'd just give it away to random CoinTalkers. ;)
Nah. The only reason gold and silver dropped is because I was going to my first coin show in over a year this past weekend, and I wanted to sell...
Remember, on copper and nickel coins, acid can enhance detail. Metal that flows into the devices gets more work-hardening, and that makes it more...
That would have been nice regardless of the serial numbers on the other 76 $100 bills.
