I was going VG details. For those of you pointing to skirt lines, remember that coins struck in 1921 and before have weaker lines.
I don't think so. Yes, obviously, if your unit of currency is pegged to a gold standard, the "price of gold" will remain fixed in terms of that...
Under these circumstances, I wouldn't dream of sending payment outside of eBay. Sure, you have "recourse" on a check -- but that's why he'll say...
As far as I know, acid dating doesn't work on silver coinage, only nickels. If there is an effective way to acid-restore detail on a silver coin,...
I'm thinking that the edited-out part was just a quote OP found somewhere describing the issue. Of course, that would've been clearer if it had...
Cast your search net widely, rather than narrowing in on specific terms. Otherwise, for example, if you're searching for a "plaque", you'll miss...
...at least the ones you see, because the good ones get snatched up in the first minute or two. The longer a BIN auction stays up, the less likely...
Right. Silver reached $48/oz early in 2011. Now, it's back under $30. If that actually means my dollars have increased in value by 50%, why...
In North Carolina, if you have records of every taxable-but-untaxed expenditure, you are to total them up, and pay use tax on them. If you don't...
Oh, I do -- I'm just begging for an explanation. :)
Can that happen? Alone, nickel displaces hydrogen from acids, but copper doesn't. Acetic acid isn't much of an oxidizer or complexing agent. Is...
Well, don't drink it or swim in it. Yes, soluble nickel salts are toxic. But you're dissolving scant milligrams of nickel when you do this. It's...
Exactly 1/10000, I believe. To get a "radar" number, the last four digits have to reverse the first four digits; the middle digit is always the...
I came across this auction shortly before it was scheduled to end: LARGE LOT OF SILVER COINS, MORGANS, DIMES, HALFS,QUARTERS ECT.. NO...
I'm with you. I like having something I can handle, and even though I know intellectually that the AGEs aren't really worth much over bullion, it...
Is the one you can get for $1700 a St. Gaudens, or a Liberty? I think it's a fair price for a cleaned Liberty, and a bit low for a Saint.
Can we keep the discussion to one thread, the other one you started...?
If you were planning to sell them for melt at some point in the future, I'd say "no" -- I'd expect 80% silver to continue trading at a discount to...
I found a 1942 in the CoinStar this evening. Given all the copper we went through during WWII, it's a miracle any of these survived. I'm rich!
Well, there you have it, folks.
