It's hard to imagine that it would be worthwhile. Your coin is certainly nicer than most Peace dollars, but it's an extremely common date. I see...
A really bad fake, then; they got the date wrong!
Oooh, let me guess -- it was 1950-D nickels, wasn't it? Or 1970 proof and mint sets, or 1999 silver quarters? ;)
Yeah, I've seen some 500-pound residents heading in and out of apartments around here. I'd be a bit nervous about putting a 500-pound safe in a...
Um, if you're seeing an 1893-S, I think you need to look more closely... ;)
So we've gone from "mint state, problem-free" to "appealing to baseball21, who thinks they're an ugly series anyhow". I think I'll wait for the...
Maybe you don't have to pay state capital gains, but you still owe Federal capital gains.
Probably not. See how it's only in the recessed areas? Those are the places where the brush couldn't reach. If it were from the book, it would be...
Yep. That's what Morgans look like after someone scrubs them with a wire brush. See that black around the edges? The whole coin was probably...
For the 30,000-mintage Enhanced Reverse Proof, you can get more money if it's still in the unopened (brown) package the Mint shipped them out in....
A collector after my own heart. :)
Striking a counterfeit out of gold clad around a tungsten core has got to be very different from striking up a typical $3 base-metal copy. I don't...
Very odd -- in the feedback for that transaction, the closing price is listed as $1175; still well below spot, but not quite as unrealistic.
Oh, we'll know eventually. We just don't know in advance, which is the knowledge that would be useful. :rolleyes:
Ah, OK. If those are the only two weights that show up, it makes me think the scale has no better than 1/10 gram resolution (1/10 gram is about...
I buy either one when I can find it enough below spot to guarantee a small profit on a quick flip. With gold at $1550, I might buy at $1500, would...
That's comparable in size to a US silver half, and I've definitely seen Barber halves that have lost a gram or more of weight. On Barbers, though,...
Gotcha. 1.8 grains is only a little over a tenth of a gram. Let's break down the possibilities. The Mint allows a certain tolerance (variation)...
If it's in an NGC slab, how are you getting an exact weight?
But-but-but all those eBay auctions of wheat rolls with Barber dimes on the ends! :rolleyes:
