"Chance listings" are still prohibited. Use the report-auction feature.
Maybe it's all part of Their shadowy conspiracy to deprive us of anonymous communications. Personally, though, I think it's just that everybody...
You appear to be confusing "coin junkie" and "forum junkie". :)
This is on my mind right now. I bought a really nice 1917-P a week or two ago for about $12. When I received it, I was stunned -- it's got lovely...
I was talking about coins with a teller at My Favorite Bank, and she said that she'd gotten a call from a lady who wanted to know if they "took...
...when you go through the self-checkout line, and your total is $6.23, and you: 1) Feed in two dimes from your pocket 2) Fish out three cents...
Uh-oh -- the listing's been pulled. Anybody remember who the seller was?
Good; that means that you aren't competing with others, like the OP, who are themselves located outside the U.S. :)
Big questions at this point: 1) Does the seller go through with it, or was it a "listing error"? 2) Is the coin legit, or a counterfeit...
Apparently, you are aware of what leads people to ask questions. :)
So, if this was struck twice, is it considered an error or machine damage? I'm still not 100% clear on the distinction that lets machine doubling...
Here's another thread discussing scales, where I link to the two I bought from eBay (30g x 0.001g and 300g x 0.01g, about $15 and $30 shipped...
Yeah, a multimeter won't do much -- you need to measure really tiny levels of resistance, and contact resistance (largely determined by dirt on...
Melt's actually around $10.50 now, and remember, 40% always trades at a discount. At the last coin show I attended, the best offer I saw was 21x...
I'm all in favor of transparency. Let merchants and customers use credit and debit cards, but put the fees in their faces. I don't see any reason...
People were buying them using credit cards (to get reward points), and then turning them in at banks without spending them. The banks then sent...
Best. Chart. Ever. :) Seriously, it seems to make your point even better -- that coins can go up sharply, but they can drop just as sharply. It'd...
You know, that chart does an outstanding job of making a ~10% drop two years ago look like the death of a market. :)
This argument from efficiency and rationality seemed pretty convincing, until I remembered that we were talking about the US Government. :)
Yes, there's nothing banks love more than people walking in and out with guns.
