I assume you mean "lighter in color", not "lighter in weight". Can you weigh the coin? Is it attracted to a magnet? It's possible that it was...
Probably not. In a metal can, no light will get in, and there will be practically no reaction with the air that gets into the container.
Or it could be that he's lying about the dimensions. I know it's hard to believe that someone selling fake bullion bars would actually lie about...
That would surely be because I was hoping to bargain-hunt at this weekend's local show. :( The last time I'd checked was earlier this morning,...
That stuff on the quarter-eagle's obverse looks more like solder from a jewelry mount to me.
Why, only the most progressive and forward-thinking political entities...

Wow -- looks like you did really, really well. I wonder if the dealer just has a lot of customers clamoring for them, or if some of the coins were...
Nice! Care to say anything about what sort of buyer you found?
It can certainly be done. But if you're willing to wait as long, you can also sell 90% well above melt in the same market, right? Whether you're...
Where? Where -- in what existing market -- is currency tied to the value of silver? Or, for that matter, gold? The point that Miko is making, I...
Coinflation's your site. Do keep in mind, though, that 40% silver trades at a discount to its "melt" value -- it's more expensive to refine, and...
Now, that's worth some time and trouble. :)
Provident is offering $15.24 each for "cull" Morgan/Peace dollars, minimum transaction $1000. If you're selling a bag of 100, that would be over...
And have you ever looked at your hands? I mean, really looked at them?
