Xylene is an organic solvent, more specifically a non-polar organic solvent. That means it's good for removing oils, waxes, grease, and many...
It's all part of the equation, though. The costs they're accepting to support your box-hunting habit come out of their bottom line; to maintain...
It most certainly is. So are the plasticizers that leach out of it, leading to the damage. The green stuff itself may get that color from an...
It says "tamper-evident case", and it's evident that it's been tampered -- those bubbles on the back indicate that somebody peeled it open. Is it...
You've got at least seventy-five cents, by my count.
I think we should have a thread like this. We've got the "roll hunting" thread and the "CoinStar reject" thread, but I go through a lot more coins...
Did it pass weight/dimension/magnet testing?
It's like academic politics -- the fights are so vicious because the stakes are so small. Carr's fantasy-dated overstrikes are a big...
And since this is true, getting a 1/10 ounce piece at melt is actually quite a good deal, because it's not hard to sell it above melt. JM Bullion...
That's a really weird color. I wonder if it's toning, or some foreign substance on the coin? The rim looks like it's the right color...
This is important. These are each potentially four-figure coins. There are several possibilities: 1) One or more are fake. Better to find this...
Yep, those coins are Serious Business, and certainly worthy of being slabbed -- but it's still going to be a good idea to get someone to look over...
Sorry, yes.
It looks gold on my monitor, with a hint of green. Not a color I'm used to seeing on a cent. Can you show a photo of it next to a shiny new...
These discussions are leaving out a critical part of the Numismatic Circle of Life. None of us live forever, and none of us can take our...
That's possible, but value depends very much on the coin's condition (and, of course, authenticity). If a coin is corroded, or has been cleaned...
I'm not familiar with this issue, but it certainly looks like the cheap cast imitations that I've seen for other early coinage. See the pock-marks...
I'm sorry for your loss. Before you even think about sending coins off to be certified, you must have someone knowledgeable look at them....
We'll need clearer photos to tell, and you'll probably need to take the coin out of its holder. It could be a "struck through grease" error. It's...
Now, that's the first time I've heard this. It's hard to imagine CoinStar paying people to roll coins in the store, or track them and send them...
Separate names with a comma.
