Go back and read posts #6, 7, and 8 in this thread. The question asked was - is Numismedia probably more accurate than the PCGS price guide ? BU...
I see nothing, based on the pics that looks like verdigris. As for whatever that is on the obv, you could try distilled water I guess, but I doubt...
Based on what I read there are records that prove no shell casing cents were ever actually minted.
You do not want to buy those coins.
Why ? What do you expect a well circulated 80 year old coin to look like ? Leave it alone.
You have then read the same thing I have. It was planned to happen, but there was not even 1 cent ever made from recycled shell casings.
Give us a link to the auction and we can answer your question.
Ya know, sometimes I wonder if it's even worth it :rolleyes: But what the hey. No one in this thread, at least that I could see, ever...
Possible I suppose, but in all the reading I have done I have never heard of such announcements ever being made. One thing for sure though it's...

Aslpride - If you read through this thread you will see where it is said several times that there is no simple answer to your question. That is...
The coin sniffer is only used on coins that are submitted under the Secure Plus grading tier at PCGS. IT is NOT used on any other coin submitted...
It is actually cheaper to set your thermostat at 1 comfortable temperature and leave it there. This is not an opinion.
Guys, dealers live, eat, and breathe want lists. They are what keep them alive. I would wager that probably 70% of all coins that a dealer buys...
OK a question for you folks posting about coins you want. Do any of you actually have these coins on a want list with a dealer ? And if you do...
I agree completely. One of the things I really have a problem with is, I guess you could call it attitude but perhaps philosophy would be a...
It shouldn't surprise you. Up until about 10 years ago the overwhelming majority of collectors preferred their coins white. Even today, probably...
