Then how did someone put COPY in relief on the reverse, without distorting the surrounding field or the opposite face? And, for bonus points, how...
I wish I could help, but I actually don't see most of the counterfeit tells here that I'm used to looking for -- weakly-struck areas in odd...
Seems like there've been a lot of sellers yesterday and this morning who disagree. I've been assuming it's a reaction to signs of approaching, um,...

As far as big companies and leaks: Many years ago, I started getting spam to my Ameritrade email address. We have our own domain name...
A little off the wall, but... have you been buying anything from eBay? I know some of the big dealers have pseudonymous accounts there. There have...
Not at all, at least not currently. I do feel a little guilty when I buy somebody else's set and tear it apart, but I think I'm less emotionally...
Yeah, you'll have a long search for that last one. ;) :hilarious: That's like my 20-cent collection, all done except for that tough...
Yeah, I won't talk about condition in my sets. :rolleyes: None of the Barber halves are holed, but I think I might still have one bent one in the...
I completed silver Roosevelt dimes as a YN, back when the "key dates" (49-P and S, 50-S, 51-S, 55-P/D/S) traded at a premium. I still have the...
I've only owned one piece of Charlotte gold so far. [IMG] [IMG] I'd like to have a nice unmolested example someday. This one, I sold to a...
Sure enough, just tried it for myself. I'm a bit surprised that didn't turn up more results on the wartime notes -- I saw at least two links on...
This is one case where Googling is your friend. Googling "Hawaii dollar" will get you the info you need a lot faster than we can. Here's a page...
I remember Kurt bragging about the estate sales out in rural PA. I believed him when he said he could spot the real ones, but I wonder how many...
Because a tenfold return is a tenfold return, and if all you have is $17 or $170, then that's what you put in. How would you go about buying $17...
I have no idea why you'd say this. It's like saying the average person can't afford to buy copper because it's over $7000 a ton. If you want to...
Nah, just drilling for oil. :rolleyes: (BTW, one small clarification to the article's first paragraph: cesium metal will, indeed, "melt in your...
The word COPY looks like it's raised, not incuse. That would have to mean it was stamped into the die, not onto the coin. Also, if it were...
Only if you stack enough of it, quickly enough. For "explosive in small quantities" I'd go with cesium. Or, if you can't count on having water...
Is it the right thickness? I've got a Morgan that's non-magnetic, the right weight, and about 15% thicker than it should be. I suspect mine is...
