Buying and selling coins on eBay without buyer or seller protection? Sure, I'll get right on that. :rolleyes: Coins and Paper Money apparently...
I remember reading quite a few years ago that the number of Mercury dime collections containing a 1916-D greatly outnumbers the 1916-D's mintage....
I'm still sore that they missed the opportunity to make the 50-cent commem look like a net, complete with clad fragments dangling down from the...
$1000 for one of the most highly counterfeited coins in existence, on the basis of tiny out-of-focus photos? Sounds like a job for eBay Buyer...
There are no 1998-D proof Kennedys. Yours has something on it. I've seen various rim widths on 1971 halves (there are a LOT of 1971 halves). I'm...
It doesn't let you control the brightness of the LEDs (or turn them off completely)?
@kaparthy's advice is good, and well-informed as always. :) However, there is a big difference between speculating $40 or so on a...

Board repair on a 25-30-year-old device? You have my attention! I don't have good enough time-management skills to seriously volunteer help, but...

That's because there is no answer. I mean, you could've made money by swapping gold for silver when the ratio was 120-something, and then swapping...
I was surprised I didn't recognize that car, then saw the date on the bottom. By 1974 I'd moved on from Hot Wheels to the chemistry set. :)
Those premiums are much lower than premiums from big dealers at the moment. They're low enough to trip my "possibly too good to be true" alarms....
Huh. I would've thought hardening a die would've been a fairly minor challenge in the counterfeiting process.
It looks like the big dealers are still getting their asking prices. If inventory starts piling up, they'll drop premiums.
The odds are pretty high. It's just environmental damage. You were right to spend yours.
The reverse looks like it was eaten away by acid. If it were worn down to start, then plopped onto something corrosive, this is what I'd expect to...
Separate names with a comma.
