Yeah, that brown spot on the reverse looks like something acidic landed on it and sat for a while. The brown spots on the edge are probably the...
What coin are you looking at? The linked auction was for a raw (and altered) coin...
Unwrap the layers of sarcasm, and that was my actual point.
Just another illustration of why ANACS-slabbed coins trade at such a discount to PCGS. :rolleyes:
I didn't think OP was asking about melt value. I didn't think the 2009 copper issues were especially valuable, but here's a 2010 PCGS article...
Again, it's hard to tell what's going on on the high points from a single photo. But doesn't that seem like an awful lot of luster for a 55?
Tough crowd here. I think laying in piles of LMCs as "copper bullion" is pretty pointless, but if stamped copper bars have a market as...
Did you leave out some words here? I can't figure out what you're trying to say. "In on fractional ounce gold bullion"?
There is this thing called "mockery".
Wish I could see it in hand. I'm inclined to say either 58 or 62, depending on how much of that high-point stuff is just strike weakness vs wear,...
For a place full of "cowards whom [sic] hide behind their machines and hurl insults", we certainly do seem to get an unending stream of new...

Yes, that's exactly what I said to you. :rolleyes: I'm not going to try to tease apart the differences between "fallacious", "differing from...
As opposed to...? :greyalien:
I've often heard that if eBay/PayPal won't credit you, and you dispute the charge with your credit card successfully, PayPal will immediately shut...
I don't know whether the coins were toned on purpose or by accident, but they aren't "market acceptable". If you like them, buy them, but don't...
I've seen it "duplicated" by other means, too, but flow lines are what cause the effect on struck coins. @desertgem even posted a nice...
That's... not what luster comes from, at least as I understand it (and as it's been explained in other threads). NGC explains coin luster
Me? I've yet to buy my first ancient from anyone. o_O I'm sorry, I guess I don't understand the point you're trying to make.
I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous. Don't excuse fraud. If someone with a reputation for selling fakes sells you a fake, they've still committed...
Separate names with a comma.
