I may have found the coin in circulation, or (in my case) acquired it as part of a larger lot. I bid very low for coins that I'm unsure about, and...
It still seems like a relatively cheap way to authenticate coins. Is anybody questioning ANACS' reliability when it comes to authentication?
I follow the gold price in part as one proxy for "what's going on in the world". This "move" was small enough to be plausible, but big enough to...
They were indicating that gold had spiked up almost $50/oz tonight. It hadn't. They're now reporting the accurate price.
Thank you for being patient with me when I'm not writing as clearly as I should. :)
...by showing this, just now: Coin value calculations use the 8:12 PM EST gold price for February 17, 2014: Gold $1376.90/oz [IMG] 47.60 Ran...
Okay, I wrote that poorly. Luster doesn't always produce cartwheeling, especially when it's only present in isolated areas. But, while you can...

You chose wisely. I mentioned here some time ago my tale of woe. Briefly, I shipped to a confirmed address, UPS raised a "recipient no longer at...
That's the first time I've ever heard this. The process that turns red copper brown shouldn't have any effect on the surface topography (flow...
Now I know why I haven't been able to find an 1896-S or 1913-S Barber quarter -- Frank's hogging them all! :) My collection's disorganized enough...
Novelty bin?
Folks here have consistently advised me against using an ultrasonic bath to clean coins, but with finds like those, I would be sorely tempted....
Yeah, and that would be great if only we had TD banks around here. I used to visit half a dozen or so different banks, and NONE of them had coin...

Nice ROI there, I'll bet. :)
