Holy cow, I got one, too! That's the first actual useful offer (as opposed to "sign up for our credit card and get a few bucks") that I've...
I'm thinking that we'll have a hard time getting our legislators to focus on collectable coins at all, never mind a few tiny flecks and smudges....
Right. Nitrous makes everyone else talk funny.
Filled with nitrous oxide, from the tank that the finalizers apparently keep on hand to help them get through the working day...
It skipped a generation in my family, like @micbraun. Both my mom's parents collected.
I'm not surprised; looking back at what I wrote, the logic was fairly well camouflaged. :oops: Your point, I think, was that a seller who sends...
As for the original seller, he has the right to refuse to combine shipping, and we have the right not to buy from him. I've several times...
The same way he can "prove to eBay" that all items were shipped if they each go in a separate package... and the buyer claims that one or more...
Watch your step. The "positive/negative/neutral" feedback views only show for the past year. You have to click on "All Feedback" to see older. Go...

"Hah-hah! You pay more than face value for coins!" Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to discussing my March of Dimes set order in the...
So, I got 80 cents in change from self-checkout at the same store tonight, and again, I got three Kisatchie quarters -- and, again, one of them...
I think the analyses archaeologists use aren't that simple, certainly aren't very cheap, and don't do so well at distinguishing how many decades...
I appreciate the tip, but this is about the last coin I'd consider submitting for that treatment. First, the coin is massively impaired. Besides...
Ah, OK. The machines I'd read about all seemed to work by reflection or fluorescence, not by absorption. As you can probably tell, there's a lot I...
Well, it's hard for me to understand how it could not be thrown off by surface composition, but I'm certainly in no position to tell a refiner how...
So, if it was a refiner doing this, I assume they trust their machine not to be thrown off by the composition of a surface layer? (In other words,...
Separate names with a comma.
