I don't remember when I started getting corrected for using it, but it was probably at least 20 years ago. I was raised and educated (in...
Looks like damage to me, too. I don't see Blakesley opposite it, just another rim hit, and I don't see any of the reverse weakness I'd expect if a...
If you paid money for it, it was worth something for the person who sold it. It's made out of something cheap, thinly plated with gold, most...
Look under the feet of the statue on the reverse of the coin. See where it says "COPY"? That means it's not a real coin. Please buy a copy of the...
I'll beat those stories. For an electrical engineering course (digital electronics for non-EEs, required for CS students), one of our tests was...
I used to be a BIG eBay booster. I was a Power Seller for a couple of years. My brother was active enough early enough that he talked about email...
'S OK, I'm sure I spend too much. :rolleyes:
For a non-plated coin this is true. For a Zincoln, the copper shell is only about a hundredth of a millimeter thick (I've seen figures from 8 to...
Now, that's a fascinating notion. Peroxide for fine-grained fizz around surface contaminants, with ultrasound to agitate them away. Hmm.
1) With ancient coins? 2) It doesn't seem to slow the posting of "heads I win/tails you lose" nudie novelty coins and the like, not to mention...
That's for sure. Nope, lost me again here.
When I pay for an item and then get the purchase canceled, I can get pretty steamed about it. Like you said, "two weeks before Christmas" -- what...
This seems like a contradiction in terms. Algorithms leave out subjectivity and common sense, but how can a fixed decision process without human...
You should probably go ahead and start a couple of threads in the Error section first. If anybody tries to tell you it's post-mint damage, that's...
The things I learn while reading a thread about getting coins from banks...
Sure wish I could find some semi-key higher-grade Barbers in my yard...
Given the shift away from hand-punched mintmarks, I'm not seeing how this could be an RPM -- but it sure looks like one. Damage, or something that...
Happy Birthday, neighbor!
Best wishes for a quick recovery. The coin's waited for over 50 years, it can wait a while longer. :)
I realize that that paragraph defines the law, but it's not very useful in this discussion. Just for starters, it would seem to criminalize...
Separate names with a comma.
