Thanks for a really nice write-up, illustrating a point that I (as a simple US collector) would never have thought of.
Here, you dropped this little metal ball thing. Thought you might want it back. ;) [IMG]
I've had nickels turn that color after exposure to a weak acid -- it can leach some of the nickel out of the copper/nickel alloy. That alloy...
It would be a bit of a haul from there to North Carolina. Then again, I have found S-mint cents in circulation here slightly more frequently than...
I started searching cents as a kid in the (very) late 1960s. At that point, wheat cents were unusual, but not uncommon, but I don't think I ever...
Wow. Entirely out of my league, but that doesn't prevent me from enjoying the images. :)
You did well. Even without selling the large cent, 80 cents worth of silver is easily worth 9 or 10 bucks, regardless of how badly the coins have...
Oh, yeah. :)
A wise choice, as long as you're willing to accept the resulting limitations. I had the impression that it was now basically impossible to use...
Thanks. That lot was some of the best fun I've had in the hobby. It looked like any other cull/junk lot, but I bought it on the strength of the...
I walked down a sequence of nickels in an earlier thread on this topic. Here's the one I started with: [IMG] In the same lot, I got this gem:...
[ATTACH] I want email for everything, but I don't want my phone goosing me every time eBay thinks of something. Pretty sure this is the way my...
I believe there's a difference between pending and on hold. If the payment is pending, it has not yet shown up in your PayPal balance. PayPal...
They don't show up in my eBay messages on the eBay site, where they aren't subject to any spam filtering.
Geeze, who do I have to play pattycake with to start getting these offers again?!
We'll see. By obsessively watching for new Buy It Now auctions, I managed to buy probably several ounces of gold slightly below melt -- when gold...
US Mint gold generally available below melt? Yeah, I'll stay tuned for that. :rolleyes:
Hmm, think I'll jump on those, too. Hard to imagine how these could be controversial, but I imagine our go-team is up to the challenge. :smuggrin:
Thank goodness you posted that -- I hadn't seen that they'd cut the price 10%! This changes everything.
I'm sorry; that honestly wasn't my intent. If anything, I have more respect for your own orientation (emphasis on quality) than my own (often...
