I can't speak to the desirability or importance of the coin, but I will say this: if I were dealing coins in that range, I would definitely take...
Here's another item from the eBay pig in a poke I got a while ago. I was going through the V-nickels, sorting out some of the more unfortunate...
Yep, that's a nice find. Congrats! It looks like both the nickels have pink deposits; I've got a similar one, and although I didn't dig it...
If you can move the microscope around, resolution isn't as important. I have an endoscope that only gives a resolution of something like 60 or 80...
Pretty sure paper is harder than ziploc material. More to the point, it has more "edges" to abrade the coin.
Any time anyone makes a blanket claim that gambling on eBay is foolish, point them to this thread. :) Sometimes, $30 gets you $25K. Now, granted,...
Oh, it does my heart good to see that. :)
Tell him that you'll sell him as many as he wants at $100 each. If he's not interested, as why he isn't willing to buy gold at less than half the...
That was my first thought when I saw the coin. I don't think so, though -- the inside of the hole is too irregular. I'll try to get a reverse shot...

From that same eBay lot, although not fallen from such heights as the coins others have posted here: [ATTACH] That 1852 actually looks like...
Hard to argue with that one! Nearly everyone would spend it without a second thought, and that price is going to be hard to exceed. :)
Even if we can count Morgans as "in circulation", I don't think the 1893-s is in the running. If you consider full-size silver dollars to be "in...
Well played. :)
Well, the other half of the secret is "...and be ready to give up if the auction's already been spotted by other people with normal vision."
All right, I'm willing to reveal one more of my eBay secrets: "look for auctions from sellers with poor eyesight." :)
Ah, I'd completely gotten out of the habit of going to the "home page". I didn't realize that the "latest posts" section on that page is still...
BTW, how did you all find this thread? I'm still not seeing it in the "new posts" page. :(
Yeah, if I were that seller, I'd cancel the auction -- I don't like either of the other alternatives, which are to ship the item, accept a return,...
If that were true, how would "album toning" spread across the face of a coin, when only the edge of the coin contacts the paper? You're not...
