1882 Moran, Liberty Head Silver Dollar [IMG]
[IMG] Nah.
I've accumulated a few fakes. I keep them about as well-organized as the rest of my collection, that is to say, "not at all". I intend to put them...
I'm going with "almost none". Even though it's a large coin made of dense metal, I'll bet the loss is less than 1% (.3 g).
"Spot" is the market price of silver, per ounce, when delivered in standard "good delivery" bars (about 1000 troy ounces). Some will say that...
Nope. Legal tender originally only included gold and silver coin. It's worth a trip to Google.
People used to "sweat" precious-metal coins -- put them in a bag, shake them for a while, and collect the dust. Since worn coins traditionally...
Can't read yellow text on a white background.
It sounds like you've just found a willing recipient for dumping your rejects!
I've got some a lot slicker than that. I'll try to remember to dig a few out, photograph them, and weigh them. Since halves are so large, their...

They get a heads-up when something valuable is about to appear. Clearly, @dcarr is one of Them. I knew it! Never mind all the stuff about...
That's the problem. They failed to swap it for "worthless fiat paper" that will suddenly buy 5% more than it would last night. At least, it'll buy...
Must be a local show coming up where I was thinking of selling some. :rolleyes:
I can put a lot of oblique light on a coin to show even the faintest relief. There isn't anything black enough to not reflect adequate light under...
Looks like it got pinched in a hinge. I hate it when that happens to a finger. :( Edit: post-mint. Think about the process of squeezing a...
It's good to be a technical trader. With the powerful tools of technical analysis, you can tell with near-perfect certainty that a big move will...
Yup, here's where all the "buy the dips" folks get to chime in on whether this is a "dip" or a retreat to a new level. No fair coming back in a...
Separate names with a comma.
