Heck, people hoard today's regular circulating coins, then either cash them in all at once or dump the task on their heirs. It's still not that...
It surely will, for the right definition of "upswing". ;)
@SorenCoins Thanks for trying with new photos. The problem may be that you need a tripod or copy stand to stabilize the camera, but I don't know...
The other way around, most likely, since cents are larger in diameter than dimes. It's odd, though, that the photos don't show the cent rim around...
That's perfect. :) It's pretty clear from the photo that the fake piece is larger in BOTH diameter AND thickness than the Mexican piece. The...

Looks like something shot with the wrong color balance to me. Sorry I don't recognize the design.
Ah, the joys of flat-rate Priority Mail. :) (Although I don't know how that works from Hawaii!) I'll be very interested to hear what you find. I...
Okay, just to make sure I'm following along: You bought this as a 5-ounce silver coin from eBay. You weighed it with a scale set for standard...

If anything, looks like an S to me. But more likely just random texture.
I had to go back and read this three times before I saw it as "Kennedy dollars" rather than "Kennedy halves". "Hmm, I've occasionally seen $20...
