To be clear, I have no issue with people collecting whatever they please. My own collection has a lot more "misfit toys" than showpieces. I do...
But what does it mean? If it's one of the best coins for its grade, doesn't that make it a worse coin for a lowball set? If it gets a gold bean,...
A few years back, I came across a Gilbert Gemcraft rock-tumbling kit I got for Christmas one year as a child. I tried firing it up, and it was...
And quarters and dimes contained no silver at all. Neither fact is relevant here, though....
As I understand it, as long as a seller offers a full refund on an item, he can have any negative feedback for that item removed. As far as I'm...
How's that again? 3 x 0.773 = 2.319. 0.773 troy ounces is how much fine silver was in a Morgan Dollar, how much was in a Peace Dollar, and how...
A one-dollar silver certificate would be redeemed for 0.773 troy ounces of silver, the same amount contained in a silver dollar....
Ordinarily I'd laugh at "these aren't selling so let's raise the price", but I think it might actually work here. I'm not sure demand for these is...
I just went and looked up the one Gold Spouse I bought from the mint, in early March 2011. At that point, gold was between $710 and $720 per...
Yeah, I figure any time you offer more for an item that's in poorer condition, there's a perverse incentive to beat up an existing example. I...
Wow, I just looked up the prices on the gold First Spouse issues for Barb, and now I have a nosebleed. :eek: I like the design, but not enough to...
I'm having a hard time getting a photo of mine with my poor old phone, but it's not nearly as worn as yours. I must be carrying the wrong other...
Nice! In my 1971 Red Book, the 1955-P is still a premium date. I think at this point it's submerged in the rising tide of melt, but I'd still...
That was a "smack"? Certainly not if the previous post was a joke. One of the sad things about today is that satire really is on its deathbed....
Yes, I'm sure 1.7 million people have been put to death worldwide and a hundred thousand restaurants put out of business in the US because... some...
Be prepared to be very patient. I've been carrying around an ASE as a pocket piece for five or six years, and it's barely down to VF yet.
[MEDIA] "It can't get no worse..."
Even better news: apparently these are now back to being readily available and cheap, at least from Amazon -- around $10 for a pack of 500, "fits...
And that's a perfectly sensible approach. But if you ever do need to get something off a proof coin, acetone is probably the least risky liquid...
That's the joke. Right smack in the "mid" of 5 figures. Like I said, :eek:...
Separate names with a comma.
