It's even better than that -- it's not one of the relatively common 1974 test strikes, it's a previously-unknown example of the Mint's...
That's the problem with asking questions: sometimes you get conflicting answers. ;)
It doesn't take many. How many times does a coin get spent during its lifespan? 1000? 100,000? More? Less? Suppose that only one person in 100...
I challenge the claim that "the US economy was much stronger when the dollar was backed by gold". First, it requires a definition of "stronger"....
Well, this conversation just got a bit more confusing, since the post to which I originally responded disappeared. But I'll point out that the...
Um, a moment's research will reveal that the original bill passed in 2011 is worded that way, and the only sites claiming that this is "news" in...
You mean like this one? ;) [IMG] Efficacious, perhaps, if you bought in the early 70s. If you bought between 1986 and 1993? Not so much. For...
At 2.5 times melt, for coins from a series that commands little premium above melt even in uncirculated condition? I have some old paper rolls...

...and up she rises. Short-term fluctuations are short-term. [ATTACH]
You can't have it both ways. If it was improper for the seller to send something other than the original coin, it's improper for you to return...
Your camera (phone?) is focusing on the table top, not the edge marking -- try backing away from the token a little bit?
Yeah, max out those eBay bucks offers while you can. I did when I started getting them, but it's been probably a year or more since the last one...
So, did you get it? I do wonder what sort of premium these draw -- but Seated quarters are far enough off my radar that I probably won't start...
I agree that this is clumsy and frustrating, but your path for complying with eBay's rules is clear: send back exactly what you received (the...
That just goes to show that your hearing is intact. :)
I'm betting that, if you investigate this carefully enough, you'll find that it's NOT fully reversible. The sulfide ions don't attach solely to...
Separate names with a comma.
