They didn't appear in years 2001 through 2018, I suppose. :rolleyes: That's... interesting, and more than a little scary. It makes me wonder if...
Yeah, the only way I'll ever see mirrors like that on a Trade Dollar of mine will be if I glue them on.
Didn't see this until just now, but I guessed before reading ahead, and it looks like I got both the grade and the reasoning right. Maybe there's...
I have my own thoughts about the efforts to remove sorting machines and ban overtime. But even without those factors, I think the PO would be in a...
How come?
I know it's better to hold a coin in your fingers, but I won't put my fingers into a strong alkali like MS70. For that, I'd use soft tongs or...
And if I had a list of things I was looking for, and was willing to pay a "fair price" for them, and wanted to avoid the "learning experience" of...
I saw this listing come across eBay yesterday -- 5 Morgans and 3 Peace dollars, $150. And while the description says it includes a 1902-S, the...

I'd read about the late-1980s run-up (here and elsewhere), but apparently had quite a few of the basic facts confused. I found a thread on...
Hmm... another proof?
I remember a craft/hobby store I frequented in my teenage years sold supplies for making Lucite casts -- molds, cans of monomer, and bottles of...
As I understand it, the return period is now SEVEN days. They tightened it down a couple of years ago, as I recall.
Yeah, that one brought me up short for a minute, too.
Maybe -- but an unethical dealer always has things to market unethically. A coin with a nonexistent date would be a much heavier lift for a...
The Mint would be absolutely as dumb as a rock to make these anything other than unlimited-mintage, at least 5 per household, preferably no...
Sigh. And I'll line up to buy them, at an exorbitant markup, grumbling the whole time. :grumpy:
