Hey, go over to water for the next week or two, and you can buy a replacement!
Oh, there's plenty of lustrous gold older than that. But just by the numbers, it looks like the odds are 30-1 or so that it's a restrike. I don't...
Yeah, if you overpaid, it's only by a few bucks. Just don't go buying them by the dozen. :)
Well, that should tell you something about him: 1) He's dishonest. Either he paid super-low for what he thought was a silver coin, or he bought...
I think of it as a separate variety. I've gotten a proof-only coin slabbed as PR Genuine, Holed XF Details; I've seen photos of coins graded PR04...
A cash for gold shop selling bags of unsorted foreign (if this is from the same bag as your other post)? And leaving gold coins in the mix?...
I wouldn't be especially optimistic based on those pictures. :( To maintain 100% positive feedback, all he has to do is offer returns to anybody...
Twenties and higher denominations are painful. You'd probably find a buyer on eBay for a bit over face value, but since FVFs are calculated based...
So does scrubbing it with steel wool. Don't do that to coins, either.
And I see I'm not the only one who was led (by the Red Book's presentation format, as well as other sources) to think of "Proof" as a "grade", and...

Back in the days of Judith and the more-effective coin-reporting mechanism, we actually got one of the really high-volume sellers shut down for a...
It looks like I guessed the right decade (i.e. within ten years of the right answer) for part 1, and probably the same for part 2, but I won't...
Okay, question for the first two respondents: how can the first year a Mint produced more than 1 billion of all denominations combined be later...
Yes, there are quite a lot of those.
If you get a Zincoln hot enough, the zinc inside melts while the copper coating remains intact. That can lead to all sorts of odd distortions. In...
Thanks for the prompt to think hard about the process. Thinking hard is one of my favorite things. :)
Go back with a magnet and scale, and disappoint him instead.
It can't be an original mint mistake. What would have to happen for this to come out of a press? You'd have to have a 1941 bronze cent fed into...
If you want a fake, sure. Or even if you want an actual error and won't be disappointed with a fake. I'd be disappointed with a fake, though,...
