What if you were aware of coins, like those you refer to costing MONEY, losing 50% of their value in less than a year. What would you say then ?...
Joe it sure don't "look" like silver. But that could be due to the alloy. But as said, specific gravity will tell the tale.
Diagnostics, other than the usual differences between Proofs and business strikes, would depend on the specific coin. So if you can provide a...
Paul - there are exceptions to every rule, as I noted in my comments. But don't take my word for it. The forum archives for NGC and PCGS are still...
