Hmm. My first reaction to the first shot was that the leg looked awfully flat, but it's hard to picture how that could be the case with a full...
I was with you until the last paragraph. It sounds like you're saying that since the half dollar contained about 1/5 oz of silver, that means...
As I expected -- an unsuccessful auction (top bid $95K, reserve not met). To Mr. Howard, should he decide to revisit this thread: You probably...
I've scoured every PayPal page I can get to, and as far as I can tell, THERE IS NO WAY to configure my PayPal payments to go to a CC before the...
Maybe they should double down and roll out a 5 oz. gold series! :devil:
Nothing could be further from the truth. Returning to my earlier example, lead is denser than silver, and copper is less dense than silver. By...
I'd love to bid on this. Actually, I'd love to bid on about a tenth of this at a time. Problem is, there's no way I can estimate, even within a...

I thought about putting together sets for my parents, but Mom was born in 1930, and US coinage was a bit sparse during the 1930's. ("How come Mom...
D'oh! I'm not in the habit of following the "similar threads" links at the bottom -- I popped this one up in another tab for later, then forgot...

I've posted this before, but it seems appropriate: [ATTACH] Somebody needed practice with the drill...?
My favorite way, of course, is to get it at face value. :) Since that's pretty chancy, though, I tend to look for overlooked/undervalued lots on eBay.
I don't collect them either, but: 1) Texture. 2) Denticles. Check the irregularities at 8, 10, and just past 12 o'clock on the reverse. 3) The...
Step 1: get a jar Step 2: put change in jar for 145 years Step 3: profit!
SOMEbody didn't think it was kosher -- the listing has been pulled. However, his other auctions are still active, and I have my doubts about the...
As numerous posters on this forum will tell you, those 1,000 Morgans would buy you quite a nice car today, too. For that matter, depending on...
I do. :rolleyes:
But information still leaks through the feedback system. If a buyer (or a seller) leaves feedback, it includes the auction title and a link to the...
