My S-188 could use upgrading, if it didn'tcost an arm and a leg. So right now I'm having to make do with my dateless one. For the Chain cent I...
There are several sizes of S mintmark known, but not for that year. All of the 1885 S dimes came from the same die pair if I'm not mistaken.
Find one for mine and sell it to me cheap. :)
They had the capability to go a lot higher than that. Check out the melting point of nickel (2647 F) or platinum (3221 F). Heck even iron is...
A coin that rare doesn't HAVE to be in that great a condition to be in high demand.
Yes all of them. The presses need lubrication, the dies have a coating of oil to prevent rust and the planchets themselves are oiled so they will...
Except electronics solder melts around 400 degree F and gold solder around 1,700 degres F. Your solder suckers and solder wicks typically don't...

For starters it does NOT take and act of Congress to stop minting a coin. If there is no demand and not requests for the coin from the Fed they...
That is the key, being able to prove WHY a coin is fake. Ebay can't just go around pulling auctions just because someone, or even several...
It shouldn't take him long to round up a buyer. I'd buy it but I can't afford it. I don't even have to know what he is asking to know I can't...
Of course the coins come from the mint coated with a "foreign substance" machine oil full of all kinds of contaminants. So removing the original...
It's a nice coin but not worth having it slabbed. The slabbing fees would be significantly higher than the coin is worth.. This is a much better...
2.9 grams is high enough to be worrisome but from the low quality pictures it does look good. You say it is magnetic, STRONGLY magnetic or weakly...
I assume what you are talking about is the slight dimpling of the bottom edge of the letter under the uprights. That is called bifurcation and is...
The best bok for the early dates would be either Bill Noyes book or Breens book on the early dates. The problem with the Noyes book though is...
That is because lower grade circulated gold coins only sell for a small amount over bullion. Even in a slab it is still a circulated lower grade...
Which shows why we aren't as good as the TPG's. They can turn sliders into MS coins.
I think it would have graded with NGC before the conserving as well.
