While I'm aware of this (from seeing planchets for sale in the past), I don't fully understand how this affects my comment about the collar. If...
I think the "good rim" as you're referring to would be created by the collar around the planchet. In looking at the picture, I originally thought...
If the consensus of the board is $600-$1500, the consensus of your collecting community was $1000-$1300, and you declined an offer of $10,000, WHY...
Hey CC, what type of artificial toning caused THAT Morgan?
Well, it seems either no one knows the value or no one wants to say. Either way, the auction ends today. The store did say they'll lower the...
I'm pretty certain that the drop in silver was triggered by the drop in gold, which was triggered by speculation that they would increase margins...

I think, legally, the contents should be reported. Think of it this way: If someone wanted to steal something, then once they felt they were out...
Maybe I'm not very good at interpretation of the nuances contained within American standard English, but I'm fairly certain that wikipedia...
[ATTACH][ATTACH] Hi everyone. I was hoping for an opinion on the award metal shown here. It's a 1905 Expo award metal (Trantow 15c - engraved, if...
I believe the reason Liberty Dollar got vonNotHaus in trouble was due to the placement of a denomination on the medallion. That gave the...
I disagree. The post made it fairly evident that there are people who specifically collect counterfeits. The fact that the alteration on the...
I have a similar question and see no reason to start a new thread: If I have variety coins, is it worth it to do the $119 special to verify the...
