I don't have the latest Red Book, but I imagine they were talking about non-proof quarters. Yes, SF started minting these in 2012 -- "circulation...
All proof sets from the 1970s and early 1980s (except the silver bicentennial sets) featured S-mint clad dimes, quarters and halves. All state...
I'm feeling an overpowering urge to order one, check out the scratch-and-sniff feature, and then send it to ANACS, just so I can display it in a...
When I hit that fake 1920-S Walker, with the recalcitrant seller, I presented a good bit of evidence that it was fake. I can't imagine that the...
I wouldn't dream of trying my bad-picture gambles in your specialty -- I don't know enough about copper, especially about the range of eye appeal...
I find that the best case for flipping is if it involves an obsession you're already trying to cope with. :) I made great money on eBay for a...
Well, I guess that's another strike against the "never buy raw, only slabbed" argument. Although if NGC slabbed it, and stands behind it with a...
Yeah, the "knockoff" violin was a really sad story. I'm conflicted about the "don't return counterfeits" policy. On the one hand, the seller has...
Just realized that I never followed up on this situation. The seller was apologetic and offered a full refund including my return shipping costs....

To understand the asking prices you're seeing on eBay, you need to understand just one two-word phrase: Free Listings. Dealers, wannabe dealers,...
I'll just leave this here. Oh, and this, of course.
I'm not confident in my ability to ID fakes from bad photos on arbitrary, unfamiliar issues, so I don't know whether this guy's selling other...
Sorry, no. Sometimes I get what I pay for. Sometimes I get a bit less than I pay for -- but rarely, because I bid/BIN very conservatively....
I didn't think of actually calling eBay about it. Maybe that's the best approach.
I've received yet another counterfeit Barber -- this time, an 1896 quarter whose "bad photo" hinted that it might be AU. I won it at $37.99...
Yeah, that's kind of the point. He's one of a kind. (Well, at least in the US...)
Huh. I got the coupon, but not the explanation. Better than getting the explanation but not the coupon, I suppose. :) Still no multiple eBay...
Die chip or no, the position of the mintmark on that image of the Carr dollar is vastly different from the position on the picture you originally...
