Like I said WEIGH them!
Yep sure is. So what. All legal tender means is that you have made a legal attempt to settle the obligation. There is no legal requirement that...
I can agree with that but I would extend that to ten years. I have seen many proof sets and other special coins that went up right after they...
Exactly. How can you look at very slight wear and determine where that wear came from.
I'd have to see it in person, but what you are calling a scuff mark may simply be where the satin finish is wearing off the die. The die faces...
The bodybags are real. PCGS does NOT assign a grade to bodybagged coins. The MS on the bodybags does not represent a grade, it indicates that...
Yes it is an attempt to deceive. Speedy, get your facts right. The fact that it is not slabbed is immaterial and has no bearing on whether or...
There are several firms out there that are plating state quarters with silver gold or platinum and selling them at rediculus markups. Once the...
I've seen stuff that bad graded 64 by the top three as well. Especially rarer dates.
You don't see a lot of those. ANACS only used them for about four or five months between the time they started using slabs in Nov of 1989 and...
Same thing happened with government currency in 1964. The government had issued many more silver certificates than they actually had silver...
It used to be that the mint and then later the Fed did not send the bags of coins to private companies for rolling. The banks did their own...
Once again, how can you tell for sure that it is brass, and once again color is NOT an acceptable answer. Brass can have a WIDE range of colors...
Nope, the only law along these lines are in the Constitution which forbids the states (But not businesses or private citizens) from creating...
As someone who collects the different holder varieties that the grading services have produced, I won't call any other collector weird for what...
???? Something doesn't make sense with that 1802. It appears to have a raised flat border around the edge of the coin with rounded denticals...
As Mikediamond says, a specific gravity test can tell a high zinc brass from a low tin french bronze like that used on Lincoln cents. But it...
Justafarmer, on a pre 1909 US coin never use the date to decide if a coin is a doubled die. Before 1909 the date was added by hand so you can...
It definitely matches everything that can be told from a picture and the other information given for a cent struck on dime planchet. (I'm 99%+...
Do not confuse strike doubling with double striking. They are two totally different things. Your #3 and #6 are basicly the same thing. A...
Separate names with a comma.
