Yup, and that's why that dealer didn't get to make any money on it. Someone wanted this poor thing enough to pay more than 50% of the value of an...
The flip side of this, of course, is that you can buy a raw genuine coin for an unfairly low price. It's just that your odds of buying a raw fake...
I'd love to, but the site says the July/August issue is in the Members Only section, and says nothing about the September/October issue. Could...
If I saw a genuine 1904-S half with MS details, no matter how badly the surfaces had been worked over, I'd be willing to spend several hundred on...
Yep, when looking for a value yardstick, always pick something that's subject to seasonal variation, and supply-disruption-related spikes, and...
eBay and other venues say otherwise. I understand that you don't like it, but you are not the market. ;)
No. Just, no. Look at the obverse stars, especially the two adjacent to the date. Look at the drunken "0 4" in the date. Look at the smeared...
Yep, those look like proofs. :)
Silver quarters were supposed to weigh 6.25g, with a tolerance of 0.195g plus or minus. All your coins are well within tolerance. I hope you...
Nope. Most likely outcomes when you receive the coin: 1) It's significantly underweight, possibly even magnetic. 2) It weighs normally, but...
For a 1921, I'd assume it would go in the other direction. There may not be any strike-through collectors who would be willing to pony up for a...
True, and the value gap between a double-eagle-sized lump of coin gold and a low-MS Saint is fairly minor. The gap between the gold lump and a...
Not to stir up the linguistically-fussy readers, but: "Woof."
If you're running a busy shop, you don't have ten seconds to spend on every coin in a pile. You'll run through them quickly, setting aside the...
Yep. My father-in-law had some nice examples of Philippine coinage. They came back when his father returned from Pacific-theater service.
It looks exactly the way I'd expect circulated silver to look next to MS. But I'm not your guy for Morgan authentication. I can spot obvious...
Yeah, crazy. It's almost as though Fibonacci retracements, and the hand-picked peaks and troughs they're based on, were some arbitrary ratios...
"Registered"? If it were registered, They could Keep Track Of everyone who ever bought or sold it! No, if you want to buy SSRXF, you'll need to...
If it's got a chart, it can be technically analyzed. It makes exactly as much sense as any other form of technical analysis. ;) (To be fair, if...
First, you've found the right forum for your post -- thanks, and welcome aboard! Second, there were over 400 million 1968 no-mint-mark dimes...
