I'm remembering a scene from an old movie, maybe one of the Sinbad ones, where someone murmured an incantation over a page of foreign script and...
I think your instincts are good here. That last 7 is completely wrong. The denticles (pattern inside the rim of the coin) are also terrible on...
I've never seen this issue before, so know nothing about it, but your pictures hint at the same toning pattern and "sinking" design features (fine...
The seller has several similar coins listed. At least one is SP68, and another "lightly burnished" one is in a slab with no grade.
Okay, here's a company that really, really needs some consulting on Web design and search-engine optimization. Also always a plus. The number...
...looking over your shoulder, saying "what did you buy THIS time, dear?"...
It was pretty clear that it's an ICG slab, but leaving off the grade on those shots has to be intentional. As far as I can tell, there's no way to...

I called them Tuesday evening. Wednesday or Thursday, I got an update message saying "we're still trying to get the information for you." Tonight,...
Except there weren't no proof mint marks in them days... ;)
My casual impression is that banks actively fish out "old and worn" currency and return it to wherever bills go when they die. A few years back...

I spent some time searching nickel rolls in the 1970s. Man, did I get tired of 1964 nickels. :)
Not sure you need to go that far. If I were in your shoes, I'd keep what I have, and just not buy a bunch more. After all, silver might go up. At...
...in addition that it's really hard to get your money back out. Coin dealers are in business to make money, and they don't do that by selling a...
My best find was a junk bucket that a jeweler apparently decided to sell off as a batch. It included this, this, these, and oh yeah, this. Oddly...
