So, did you flip them immediately at the show? :)
I came to the conclusion that Provident's bids are consistently higher than APMEX, and their selling terms seem clearer and more reasonable as...
Past experience was an imperfect guide -- one of my favorite small dealers was paying 13.1x for 90%, essentially equal to Provident's $13.11. And...
And there, my friends, is the blinking beacon for finding underpriced coins. :) The catch, of course, is that there's no guarantee they won't stay...
I have it on good authority that people did occasionally goof off more than 30 years ago. ;)
Did they actually count it back to you as 20 cents?
Looks like someone beat me to it. Given that the value of a legitimate low-AU 1875-S is considerably lower than the asking price, I'm guessing...

That seems like an incredibly artificial way to apportion costs. Heck, if you're going to figure them that way, what's your expense in time and...
Well, seeing that copper's down ~5% today, while silver's up over 1.5% and gold's getting close to +3%...

Remember those aftermarket beans you could get for Accugrade slabs? Gold for perfect spelling, green for only one or two minor misspellings...
Looks like you're a big, BIG winner on this one! :) Details or not, that's a five-figure coin. It's pretty nice looking for a "damaged" specimen;...
Remember, Provident has a $1000 minimum when you're selling to them.
Please try to understand our point of view. You: "I have this one-sided penny, how much is it worth?" Us: "Probably not much. It looks like it...
Hard to tell from these photos, but any acid strong enough to go through the copper would go through the zinc much faster. Instead of eating...
Oh, there are plenty of legitimate reasons to leave a neg on a transaction that was never completed: The seller tried to change the terms after...
Congratulations for being no fool. I would certainly expect eBay to remove a negative under these circumstances, but there's no telling what...
If he had, it would be big news, since corn wasn't known in the Old World until Columbus brought it back...
I was hoping for at least one PF01-PF03 example... :)
