To the OP the reason people here are asking you to weigh it is that a damaged coin will have the metal filed aaway, leaving a light coin. If the...
Yeah, too bad someone got a hold of it like that. That is a very impressive coin if not so harshly cleaned. Maybe NCS could help with the damage....
I agree probably not fakes. If you know the weight is right, get the dimensions. By doing this you are effectively doing a sg test, since if the...
Lol, this strikes home since I just bought my wife another Coach purse so she won't get so mad about my coins. Sometimes I do have to admit, with...
Most may become public domain, but usually not corporate titles or relevant non-fiction titles as most coin books are. I have seen some older,...
Good overview of the history of silver mining. My only complaint would be its very Euro-centric, as there exists ample evidence as to Indian,...

Doug, yes I agree that anythign longer than a second or two, and not rinsed immediately with pure water, will take the "edge" off a coin. That is...
I agree with Desertgem. You are talking about Japan, which is in somewhat higher latitudes versus other Asian countries. How good is solar cells...
I agree. If you like US coins Loves2travel, I would search the web, I imagine there are coin shows very frequently around Chicago and those would...
