Came across this ad on the local CraigsList: Copper pennies! - $400 (Durham) condition: salvage size / dimensions: 180 lbs. I have a giant jar...
Wow, a thousand more over the course of a week? Looks like the drop in gold prices has drawn in a few more buyers.
Doesn't seem to be in much of a hurry about it, though. Of course, if I were in his shoes (new seller, don't know coins, someone I've never heard...
Not enough information available yet. If only a few are found, maybe. Or maybe the TPGs will give 70s to heavily-hairlined coins because "that's...
Nothing. The first time I got that bad one pried out of the packaging and turned it over, I nearly dropped it from surprise. No magnification...
I never knew that!
Yep. I invested in 16Kx1 dynamic RAM DIPs back in 1979, $49 for a set of 8. It would be a bit of a challenge to build an adapter that would...
Yeah, I guess they were just already gone by the time I searched. Not surprising.
I did a price-bounded search ($1100 to 1200) for BIN on "gold eagle 2014" a few minutes after you posted this, and all I came up with was...
That's an odd question. If people (or organizations or countries) started thinking that the U.S. were inclined not to pay its debts, who would buy...
I really must get one of those... ;) [IMG] The images at this link seem to make the difference pretty clear, but I have to admit that I haven't...
"15 business days handling and shipping time" makes me a little nervous. This is one way for the seller to sell short with a 3-week window. But...
I'm not sure there's enough left of that coin to distinguish die doubling from machine doubling or die deterioration. If it doesn't match a known...
...and thus a perfect fit for an online forum. :)
I certainly understand the difference. To me, though, the mint finish looks so much like a harshly-cleaned field that I just can't appreciate it....
Well, I have great news for you -- there are lots and lots of coins available with that sort of surface texture, in every series. They're easy to...
Now, there's a metric for you. Three years ago, that 1950 quarter would have bought me a fairly nice hamburger (melting at $7.50 or more)....
Given its date/mint, its surfaces, and the fact that some people do collect counterstamps, I suspect it will close a great deal higher than that.
Okay, here's what I was seeing on the "bad" enhanced uncirculated example. In all these images, I've arranged the lighting to maximize the...
Okay, then, 1909-S VDB cents. 484,000 minted, far more than the total number of Kennedy sets to be made. Even though the cents are so much more...
