Yup, doesn't matter how good it looks if it weighs wrong and sticks to a magnet. Guess now we know who's buying some of those "2018 AMERICAN...
That's absolutely true, unless you're eager to take a loss. If it were easy to buy low and sell high, the market would adjust to make it more...
Not if you buy right. Having said that, I'm not sure $100 would be "buying right" for this. It's got good details, but it might be hard to find...
Just about the oldest Lincoln cent you'll ever find roll-hunting, or anywhere else. :) (The VDB variety would be a little older...)
Wow, finding 1 silver half is pretty good, given that you searched zero... ;)
That's fine, but I question the assumption that "the demographic of CoinTalk members" reflects "the demographic of coin collectors", bceause it...
That's a dent. It happened after the coin was minted, and adds no value. Welcome to CoinTalk!

And you're one hundred percent confident in your ability to distinguish between wear and strike weakness from a single photo? If so, good on you;...
Well, in one sense, if you didn't get it from a bank teller at face value, you overpaid. ;) You're still unlikely to do as well as the member who...
Perhaps he thinks that Silver is Real Hard Money, and people should pay him a premium in Worthless Toilet-Paper Fiat to get his Precious Metals....
One form of copper-carbonate mineral (azurite) is even deeper blue than that. I think it's plausible, but yeah, I'd do a double-take, too.
I'll be waiting impatiently to see what NGC has to say. Whether they say 58 or 62, that's got to be a four-figure coin. I'm desperately curious...
So, you've got it in-hand -- AU, or MS?
LOL! Winner, winner, chicken dinner...
And perhaps worse, as long as inflation exists, $800 in face value will be worth less in the future. In other words, these may appreciate somewhat...
