How do you feel about modern US nickels, whose melt value (although actual melting is illegal) is roughly on par with their face value, and has...
There's a difference between fear and caution. There's an even larger difference between irrational fear and reasonable caution. You'd made four...
This doesn't sound right to me. IF the AT is produced by adding a colored foreign material to the coin, and that material is acetone-soluble, or...
Partial missing clad layer, with a weak strike where the layer is missing (because that part of the planchet is thinner than the rest)?
That "incomplete" look on the design, like the surface of the coin has risen and submerged some of the details of the design? That's a sure mark...
"Maleware"? Sorry, that's not the kind of photos I'm interested in.
I didn't make it until a bit after 2:30 today, and by that time CERTAIN DEALERS had already packed up and left. ;) I guess it was a lot slower...

I'm not sure I follow you, given silver's history of spikes that span much shorter periods than that.
Oh, my -- I'll actually be in Hagerstown Saturday. Wonder if I can get myself down to New Market?
I'm sorry, but how can anyone read something like this and not see the near-perfect correspondence to:
Sounds like a job for Geordi La Forge! Or at least Scotty...
Ooh, ooh, tell us! Tell us! Thread is worthless without pics!
The lettering (IN GOD WE TRUST) is proportionally larger on the half. On all the images I've just googled, the lower edge of the headband points...
Yeah, if he had any actual interest in doing anything other than stirring the pot, he'd post corresponding reverse shots. Bit of a difference...
Well, ick.
Maybe you could sell it at a profit to our resident third-tier-grader advocate. ;)
