I get the same thrill when I buy a coin that I know I'm buying and it finally arrives! I get the delivered email, go to the post office, admire...
OK, so this didn't actually arrive until January 10, so I'm counting it as a cusp goal achieved (won New Year's Eve, but Heritage didn't...
One-look fake to my eyes.
Well you need some common sense as a buyer too. What kind of buyer thinks a Chinese seller with no feedback has a ton of Morgans for sale? A dumb one.
How do you coin search at a laundromat? Get a ton of quarters from the change machine?
Didn't every kid make a treasure map? We did. I think in our case the idea came from Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, published 1883....
I have a bunch of WWII era world coins. [ATTACH] I think the only Civil War era is this counterfeit, likely passed down from my great-great...
Coin related, during my early trips to coin shops I thought AU and BU both meant uncirculated. One was "brilliant" and the other was "average."
It's an interesting question where this falls legally. It's sort of like a raffle but everyone wins a prize. Legalities of raffles vary by state...
Seems like mortgages are still commonly priced in 1/8th% increments. I've taught my kids that "two bits" means a quarter and where it...

I know who you're talking about with taking every thread off topic and spewing a bunch of nonsense. I can scroll on past. However there is another...
My advice is - don't. You will get caught eventually and the consequences are severe. Tax evasion is criminal. I gather that you are not even 16...
1903 was such a weird year for SF dimes. Reverse 3 with the extra fold in the right ribbon end was introduced in 1901, so you would think two...
I can see an acquisition but who would they merge with? They seem to have so many different areas of focus that I can see them "parting it out."...
I'd be tempted to write it off as a gambling loss. That's what it is, gambling. A roulette wheel with a lot more slots for the ball to fall into.
I figured it was an absurdly high grade. NNC is a basement slabber. I wouldn’t even be sure that it’s genuine.
I’m guessing the NNC grade is like MS68 and the real grade is Unc Details Scratched.
The 1899 has the reverse hub type of 1900-1901. It was an “early release” on around 2% of the 1899 Philly coins. Compare the main vein of the...
