From, as they say, the dawn of time, the numismatic community has never been able to agree on what a variety is or what an error is. Or what...
And they may not be, don't know because I haven't checked. But that doesn't have anything to do with the fact that taken as a whole the US coin...
I thank you for that. Now about this, do you know what those are Gilbert ? Where those numbers come from ? There was another thread about it...
First of all I didn't make any "blanket statements". In my first post in this thread I said - That is a generalized statement. The coin market...
And I readily agree that you are correct. But that begs the question, why does it ? The answer's pretty simple, it's because they are being told...
Why ? That's the first thing that always pops into my mind when I see comments like this. But then I remember that not everyone is aware of how...
I assume you mean physical size when you say largest ? I've got some (4 I think) that are 2 ft wide and 4 ft tall. But they're not coin bags,...
Yeah, "professionals" that grossly over-grade coins about 90% of the time in today's world. And "professionals" who can't even identify some...
OK, then tell me what these coins are.
Should be obvious, someplace different than where you have been looking. Here's the thing Gilbert. I can't tell you where to look unless I know...

Even if ya could accurately predict them - not likely to make a "killing". You may however be the one getting "killed". :)
I dunno. There are still some people holding coins that they bought between '87 and '89. But for the most part, I agree.
I'd agree with that IF it was tilted far enough to not contain the planchet. But, if it was only tilted slightly, so that the top half of the...
I dunno, but with that grainy texture over the entire coin, even the rims, it looks to me like the coin has been corroded - maybe a ground find,...
I don't think it has anything to do with the series. It's the coin market as a whole. As I have posted numerous times over the last few months...
An "even tilting", as in equal tilted angle, all the way around ? No, it wouldn't, but it would be slightly angled all the way around, slightly...
To better understand how dies wear how about looking at some pictures of a die with wear. These were originally posted by LostDutchman some time...
