Also don't forget to notice that the link doesn't end with "usps.com" or "usps.gov". ANY link legitimately coming from the USPS would use one or...
Sure! If I got a roached large cent with a date that I thought might be 1804, the very first thing that would occur to me is "let's obliterate...
I'm sure they'll at least slab toilet paper. Preferably uncirculated, of course, but I can't imagine them turning down the grading fee for even a...
That would be Mr. Barber, I believe.
I'll never ever forgive them for making the 2016-W the size of a nickel. They should have sucked it up and struck it as a 3/8-oz coin, along with...
Yep, I'm thinking a gold layer that thick would entirely shield the tungsten core from a commercial XRF gun. Wonder what a Sigma scanner would...
Yesterday? That was less than 10% over spot. At the quoted prices, 90% would've been the way to go if you wanted to minimize your haircut when...
That's how coins show up in my dreams -- I get some great 19th-century near-MS stuff in change, see more in the register drawer, start swapping my...
Paid in kind annually as nightmares when tax time comes around.
Have the golds been going up faster than the price of gold itself? I got mine (ungraded) close to spot several years ago, but it looks like...
I'm guessing that not many people carried multiple double eagles in their pockets. Can you imagine walking around with stacks of 20 $100 bills in...
I don't think that there's a way to turn those dark spots into anything that would look better. Short of basically repainting the whole reverse, I...
I figured "no rays" was the giveaway. ;)
I think it's just news of progress.
It looked incuse to me, but maybe you're right. That's the first time I've seen a die crack stop in the middle of the rim like that, though.
Use Zincolns. Their copper surface is even more pure than a "copper" cent, and if the zinc gets exposed, it's a LOT more reactive even than the...
My eye was drawn to what looks like a significant scratch that crosses the left wheat stem and runs halfway into the rim. :( Or maybe you just...
Companies and government organizations are all notorious for making their automated systems work nights and weekends without overtime pay. ;)
Keep an eye on it the first time. It's not nearly as fast as Nic-A-Date; it may take an hour or more (but check more frequently than that). Rinse...
Nic-A-Date was ferric chloride solution. You used to be able to buy the same stuff by the quart at Radio Shack for etching circuit boards, back...
Separate names with a comma.
