Interesting. The picture of the stacked pieces that Krispy posted (From the mint) claims that the edge lettering is applied by a segmented...
Looks good, and as to the paper, yes it seems flimsy but it was actually pretty strong. And if you compare it to most of the pre-1862 banknotes...
Well the BEP is still making them and the Fed is still getting them from the BEP so I would think the banks could order them. It's just that most...
Yes it is true. You have probably heard of the $100 Supernote counterfeits being made in North Korea. They originally started out coming from...
The coin should be VERY VERY safe while in the hands of the grader. The only thing I would advise is to make sure the coin is being sent by...
I'm not too sure how well he cared about his coins. He was at least somewhat knowledgeable about them and he knew what he had. he did supposedly...
If his "hot tip" doesn't pan out, will there be Congressional hearings looking into his stockbroker as well? Frankly without more information...
I would conact them ahead of time. Sometimes you have to have reservations for the tour, and sometimes you can just get tickets at the time of...
If you will recall back in 2007/2008 ther was a lot of hype about how the Lincoln cents, especially the key 09-S and SVDB would explode in...
It can be very hard to say because you have to some how define what you mean by greatest. And are you only including collectors or does it...
I would say that it used to be attached to a souvenir. The image on the piece is of the Southeast Light located on the Mohegan Bluffs of Block...
Another good example of the upgrading of an 1804 dollar is the Dexter specimen. When I first saw it in 1989 it was not slabbed and I thought it...
Depends on which sample slab it is. Yes some sample slabs are worth quite a bit. The highest price I know of for a sample slab has been over...
I never saw a fake (other than a copper plated 1943 steel cent) that was magnetic until about three or four years ago. And for the most part the...
It looks like there is slight bulging through the motto close to the rim. Most likely due to die wear. There is nothing special about it and it...
It isn't. It is rather unusual to see it an smaller coins or on moderns but it does occur. Typically it is seen on Capped Bust halves, Early...
Incomplete filling of the letter cavity. This was frequently seen on older coins where the tops of the letters were towards the rim of the coin....
From what I can see in the pictures I suspect it is real. There are a LOT of varieties for these coins so trying to make comparison to just to...
Well it really depends on how you define rampant Better than 99% of all the coins you come across will be genuine. But the number of...
Not too surprising. Go back to the pre-Isreal coins of Palistine (and possibly even some of the early Israeli coins) and you will find that they...
Separate names with a comma.
