To be fair, you did ask "what is this worth", not "what can a greedy and unethical seller get for it from an uninformed buyer".
Looks like someone needs to go have a nap.
Okay, I can see how my posts could have been misinterpreted. There's only one 1947-D half, and that's the one each of my posts mentioned...
So, when I type 1947-D, is the "-D" visible only to me? :rolleyes:
I see only one 1947-D half. You know the provenance of the coin and have it in hand. I've got one photo of each side, showing some...
The 1947-D half might just have been struck from a very worn die, but it raises my hackles. I'd want to weigh it carefully and do a magnet test....
Ah, yes, the coin auctions where there's no online participation, not even any online announcement that it's going to happen. Aren't those the...
Know how I know stern looks aren't effective? There are SBAs with obverse hits.
1) Over time information eventually comes to the Internet. Getting it onto the Internet is much harder than getting it back off the Internet once...
My feeling is that the "problem coin market" (such as it is) is already about as collapsed as it's going to get. On the other hand, you have...
Kurt, it may simply be that you're taking a longer view of the market than I am. If your scenario does pan out, then the value of everything...
If we keep begging that question hard enough, sooner or later it's bound to give in. "We need to teach all collectors not to buy problem coins."...
Yep. Grade A copper is currently around $2.50/lb. Last I checked, retail shipping costs (once you got past USPS flat-rate options) tended to be in...
Well, I'd hope he was at least teaching how to recognize the problems. That's important, whether you're willing to collect the coin anyhow or not.
Every day we get several people starting threads with obviously manipulated or damaged coins, and they're sure they're mint errors. This isn't...
I'm mostly concerned that we don't go back to the days where it was okay, and sometimes recommended, to (say) scrub your coins with an eraser. If...
Of course he did. If we weren't careful to spend lots of time teaching people that "details" coins are "worthless", they might be misled into...
As have others, since at least the 1980s. Wherever there's a market, some will see conspiracies.
But there are layers. The outer layers are 80% silver and 20% copper, bound to an inner layer that's 80% copper and 20% silver. The layers...
No, the pernicious thing was missing out on the opportunity to sell it for a 3X profit four or five years later, then restock more recently. ;)...
Separate names with a comma.
