As many here have learned the hard way...
Have you seen enough to say whether these spots tend to be stretched out and parallel (indicating that they're in the stock before it gets...
Wow, sure enough. Sure wish someone could go after a couple of these with a high-res, tiny-spot-size XRF setup. Or sacrifice one for destructive...
Yeah, I'd be alarmed seeing that on .999 -- it's possible that the bits of foreign metal left in the gold could concentrate into spots that tone,...
Those are skewed pretty old compared to what I find in change around here! I'd guess eagle reverses are only 10-20% of the quarters I get, and...
I like the series. I like your example in particular. A couple of quibbles with the write-up: while I see Type 1 and Type 2 most commonly, I see...
Don't think so. Weak and uneven denticles, mushy stars, raised blobs in the obverse field behind the head, and the whole design looks wrong. I'm...
I can't deny your experience, but I can't see any way that minerals in water would make a significant difference. It's the nitrogen in their urine...

When I handed over a package with pre-printed (via eBay/PayPal) postage, they still gave me a receipt with the timestamp, point of mailing, and...
I'm going to go ahead and call this type set O-positive.
Read post number 7 in this thread. goldcollector posted a for-sale ad, collected payment from Garlicus, and never sent the goods. Now, he wants to...
And by "take the $20 and be done with it" you mean "take the $20 and never send the silver", I assume?
Yes, that's what I meant.
Obverse photo makes it look cleaned and retoned to my eye, but from the way things are worded and the way the discussion's gone, I guess I'm wrong.
My understanding was that if you didn't cancel all existing bids before ending the auction early, eBay would consider the item sold to the current...
I had a case where I bought a one-ounce gold coin, the seller said they shipped, they provided a tracking number -- and I watched through that...
Better yet, hire a buyer to go find things for you. I mean, if price is no object... :rolleyes:
