That's really crazy! I'm lucky so far that I'm able to source my gems from Myanmar. However, the last trip I took, they only had 8 carats of...
Jim, my understanding was that the only companies currently making true synthetics (the types that require wavelength micro analysis or whatever)...
(I just decided to quote everyone that I'm making a reference to below my reply.) Passant: I find it unlikely that any billionaires will "panic...
To everyone who offered thanks, you're all welcome. Just trying to help the community. :D Hey Guy, I'm not sure how what you said relates to...
Why wouldn't it work? It's no different than vending machines not accepting pennies. We'll just see prices become multiples of 25c.
My understanding has been that NGC also requires all vertical bands to be split. That said, my impression has been that the middle band _should_...
Hi everyone. I just got off the phone with a member of the FBI. I called the US Attorney's Office in Charlotte, North Carolina last week, and I...
I got a Type-I and Type-II 1968 25 Peso pair. :P Now to find the elusive Type-III. (Best part of this, I sold two Type-I coins two days ago for $4...
I'll do them one better and sell you 1/2 pound of crap for $40+. That's DOUBLE what they're offering... :P Seriously, though, would you be mad if...
As the others have said, 0% silver. It's 9.07g of Copper-Nickel. 1971 was the largest production run for the series (426,222,000).
For what it's worth, they're not paying full retail. They're paying "70% off" ridiculous 350% of retail.
I've never owned a BB, but my understanding is that the BB value is basically what a coin is worth. No one really pays full retail, so I'm pretty...
I have problems with silver Washington Quarters and Peace Dollars for the same reason on both. They both have that weird white-ish luster that...
I still contend that the most viable solution would be to keep the 5c, 25c, $1 coins and $5, $20, $100 notes. Just change the 5c from nickel to...
To make the answer a tad more complete: 1965-1970 - ALL Kennedys issued were 40% silver clad 1971, 1976 (also produced in 1975) & 1977 - SOME...
I'm pretty sure 157.50 is the winner, since 161.00 is higher than 160.09. Congrats schnauzer!
How did you feel when you found out that it was cleaned and worth ~60-65% less than what you paid? Unfortunately, how you felt at that time...
Well, I thought your guess was by far the best one. Think of it as flattery. ;) Edit: I also actually bid $145.01 on the auction. :P
I specifically said solvent that wouldn't affect the metal, because that's what I meant. If you use a bath of acetone or alcohol, hypothetically...
Thanks! For what it's worth, I really think someone had it deposited by mistake. The bank rarely has rolls of halves, even in their vault, and...
Separate names with a comma.
