Or at the very least an odd way to do business.
No, 40% is two layers of 80% silver/20% copper bonded to a core of 79% copper/21% silver. But your point about refining is still accurate. The...
Hmm. I've blown the "wear takes off metal" trumpet here for a long time, but even my slickest Barber half probably hasn't lost as much as 10% of...
Come to think of it, that's probably about what I get from my favorite buyer at local shows. Problem is, he doesn't come to all the shows, and...
I winced at the spelling, and then realized that you may have meant exactly what you spelled. Well-played; I may steal that one.
I understand that not everybody pays as much attention to individual coins as we do here, but... $7.50 in the reject slot? :eek: Glad it fell...
Your Dad certainly deserved a medal, whether or not the military was ever going to issue one. Thanks for sharing this story!

This is one of the many reasons I prefer circulated junk that already displays all the problems it's going to have. That, and I'm cheap....
That's what I thought. So what do those "shop" prices mean?
They can distinguish a proof coin that way, but a proof-like?
It's right there in front of you. What, you wanted us to predict the direction, too?
That's an excellent plan. Please follow up here. If it's an actual silver planchet, we'll all be interested to hear that, and we'll have some work...
Be careful in the face of a sales pitch. The video showed the device reading SILVER through GOLD plating. That's a very different challenge;...
It seems to me that this is the same question that we face in any other market -- is it a "dip", or is this the new normal? During the big run-up...
