Wow man! This is insane. I just checked back in and I cannot believe my eyes. I'm sure some people watching it are cointalk members here but...
I'm not big into toned coins like many but Camaro has it right. I've only purchased a couple toned Morgans. Both of them jumped out at me and...
Nothing. And people do it. But normally to an educated collector, they look bad. You can usually, easily tell the fake from the NT'd ones after...
Wow! Great contest! The first coin I purchased as a kid was probably a buffalo nickel. Back either in the late 80s, early 90s. I was...
If it was easy, everybody here would be doing it to buy more coins for their collections. Including people that are excellent at grading....
What's the problem? People use stock photos for coins all the time. Especially 70s. If it's theoretically a perfect coin with no defects, why...
Yeah, but what about the person that has everything they need? When somebody wants to buy something from them? Something has to be used as a...

If the economy was great, that same coin might cost you 3-400 so I don't know what their beef would be. Be thankful stuff is down. $200 is the...
No way. 50-D = 2.6 million '09-D = 39 million That's 15x more produced than the 50-D. You can get a very nice 50-D for 20 bucks and...
Ok. Then they made a lot in a short period of time. This is at least twice as many as everybody originally thought they would produce in the...

Thanks for that link. Very informative. I bookmarked it. In case anyone finds this thread someday and wonders what the approx. population...
