That's why I have never trusted these machines. At one time, I used them for the sake of expedience, but I always counted the coins twice before...
Testing it isn't always the answer. The Chinese have gotten very good at producing fakes, and with the price of silver at a rather low point, they...
I noticed that you posted a duplicate thread to add "Gold" to the title. I've reported it so that both will be combined. For future reference, you...
Your honesty is very commendable, but I don't know if I will be able to say the same for the seller. Have you given any thought to the possibility...
First, welcome to the neighborhood @DGXJewelry ! For the benefit of others, here, who buy/stockpile bullion, how were you able to determine that...
I've owned MS65's in NGC & PCGS slabs, and I think this one is MS64 at best. Chris
That would have made him about 20. I just turned 70 in August. I was born in 1947 and turned 18 in 1965. That's the problem when you buy from...

The last time I googled, I got slapped. Chris
That's interesting! That would put the date of his acquisition at about 1965. I guess he bought it before the Treasury release of the CC dollars...
Yep! In Tampa, you can go out on the balcony and watch the racing crews practice. Chris
No! No! No! Please don't do that. You have no idea how many people have handled that coin before you found it. Chris
Paddy sees with a metal detector! Chris
In 10 years of going to the show, I only had to bring a jacket to the convention center, once. Chris
I'll be driving north from Ft. Myers on Saturday to get together with friends and attend the NGC Luncheon. If you have plans to attend and want...
Without having the coin in hand, I'm going out on a limb and say that it is a scratch. To me, the (thinner) mark in the field further to the...
