Hmm. I figured "quintiles" meant there were five of them, and we were discussing averages (or some other statistical marker) for each of the five....
Putting them in a dehydrator is unlikely to help; it'll just cement residue onto the coins. The best hope is rinsing in distilled water. The...
Why did you skip the top quintile, reporting instead only the top 5%? I'd go back and look at your sources myself, but that page links to a few...
Short answer: you can't, and this is a good thing. I'm still not sure whether you're trolling in this thread, but for the sake of newcomers, I...
Does that mean that you've been seeing them approximately monthly? It'll be easier for me to exercise moderation if I can expect this to happen...
Anybody else get offers this morning? I got one message that said 50% extra (3% total eBay bucks) on purchases $25-50, 100% extra (4% total) on...
I tried searching for Buffington and California (since that's where the seller was), but all I saw was surnames and street names. Another...
The ANACS rep at our local show did this with a couple of coins I had in 2x2's. It was a real face-palm moment for me, even though I hadn't (yet)...
I was thinking that there were "$100" silver bars appearing on eBay a while back that were actually either 4 or 5 ozt (don't remember for sure) of...
I suppose it would be veering into political discussion if I were to speculate about the actual PM content of these medals, as opposed to their...
Hey, it "Has a Surface Area Exceeding 15 Square Inches"! That's more than 2.5 times the surface area of an American Silver Eagle! In fact, it's...
Well, I'm having a terrible time getting this imaged -- can't find the remote for my camera, which means mirror lockup won't do any good, and I...
That's pretty darn cool.
This is all very entertaining, but somebody probably should report it before the seller and "buyer" have to deal with a completed high-value...
Since the TPGs didn't come into existence until the 1970s, are you really asking "when was the first 70 grade issued", or did you mean "what is...
I just spotted this link on Coinflation's news section: John Embry: Hold Onto Gold As ‘Currency Event’ Likely The hover-text, where Coinflation...
As someone who's living the same nightmare, I find that I pretty much have to laugh at it, because otherwise it's too depressing.
There's an element of preservation, but also an element of coincidence. In early 1980, that quarter could've bought NINE gallons of gas. In...
I'll do what I can, but it'll have to be tomorrow or Saturday. If I can take a little more time in setup, I think I can do a better job -- at the...
Well, I'd be a little bit sore about how silver dollars I bought five years later (end of 1979/beginning of 1980) "preserved their value". Or, for...
