So, um... what's that partially-removed sticker on the back? It appears to compare the value of the coin at 64 (possibly an accurate grade) to the...
That looks like lab surplus to me. Outside my wheelhouse, but I'm guessing there are people willing to spend an hour or two calculating the...
Now, come on. It's probably still worth the full 5 cents.
Well, technically 25% nickle, and 75% cooper.
Sigh, I knew sooner or later this would turn into a Carr thread. :rolleyes: Von Nothaus struck bare metal into dollar-denominated coins, with the...
Yep, I jumped on the Apollo commems, too. I do like a good flip, but those are staying, unless it's a choice between them and feeding the family....
Pretty sure that's not market acceptable toning.
And IF you were lucky enough to get one, AND lucky enough to flip it for near peak value ($600 seemed like a great rip, then $1000, then $1300...)...
OK, help me out here. Copper is pretty low on the activity scale. It won't displace hydrogen, so weak acids shouldn't touch it unless there's...
You're not the boss of me.
Letgo, Offerup, Etsy and the like are the very last places you should look for a key-date coin. Every rare coin, almost every coin, is available...
Why are you starting a new thread for this? The one you started yesterday is still active. I don't think you'll get different results by asking...
My Mom was born in 1928. She used to say that her earliest memory was of her mother holding her, standing on the front stoop, watching her father...
A good rare-earth magnet ought to work through the slab, though. Yep, just tried it with an old hard-drive magnet and a circulated steelie. The...
I'm not sure what "out there" means in this context. I suspect that there's more silver available now, because more has been mined than has been...
I prefer FS (Factory State).
Silly me. I was thinking San Francisco mint. This is obviously the Shanghai S.
$1.00 + $3.29 shipping. What could possibly go wrong? Oh, and I see it's the rare* giant-S variety! * nonexistent
My thoughts exactly, although I guess a simple magnet test trumps everything else. I've never seen a zinc-plated steel planchet, but until enough...
Are they? I mean, I guess there are worse fakes out there, but these look terrible.
Separate names with a comma.
