Better than many, but not all -- mine has comparable hair definition, and while I think mine has a better-than-average strike, I don't suspect...
Just saw this interesting listing pop up on eBay: Ultra Rare1921 $1 Peace Dollar STRUCK FROM PROOF DIES Looks to me like an overgraded, er,...
"Airtight capsule" is a myth, er, marketing exaggeration. Coins certainly can tone in capsules -- number one, they aren't actually airtight, and...
"Feines Silber" is just "fine silver".
The feedback from the other jars is... odd. Two buyers said they were happy with them, but didn't intend to open them. Shill activity, perhaps?...
By people who "knew" that it was important to clean metal items, and with nitric and sulfuric acid. They certainly do get rid of any surface...
Environmental damage, not gradable, not collectible. Since they aren't in a PCGS or NGC slab, nobody should have any interest in them. ;)
Those coastal snows missed us completely here in the central part of the state. We watched them with some frustration (mostly on behalf of the...
Well, there's at least one big problem here. Suppose you believe that gold is going to double in price, and you want to invest $100K in it (so...
LOL. I hear you. I used to love snow -- but then I spent the record-breaking winters of 93-94 and 95-96 in southeastern PA (Lancaster). Multiple...

You pointed out additional activity that the apparently-bad buyer had with @galleriacoinbuyers: That seller apparently registered here to...
He multi-posted, and the first three posts quoted your original post, rather than @jpcienkus's post. I see that the moderators have cleaned it up,...
He said he would trade a few Roosies for a 1916D Mercury. I'd go further than that -- I'd trade ten Roosies for that 1916D. Unless gold is...
I'm not sure I'd call junk silver trading at 872x face value "nice". For CoinTalk members only, I will offer to sell junk silver at 50% of melt...
Edited in response to multi-post cleanup.
I'm not much of a world collector, but I think I'd hold out for one that's completely real. ;)
So, in your opinion, which set of photos best represents the coin's in-hand appearance?
Or look for a lot that's trading close to face value. I bought "228 Proof State Quarters, $57 Face" for $70 shipped last time around. They turned...
