I'm interested in the 1931 slots. I know the older albums went P-S-D instead of today's P-D-S, but I wonder why that one year went S-P-D? RARE...
If it's the one I'm looking at, you put it at true auction (good move), and 24 bids later, it went for... considerably more than melt. :) So, now...
It's not a hard pattern to miss. Silver goes down more than gold: you post here. Silver goes up more than gold: crickets.

If I were a cashier, and I stood to get in trouble for accepting a bogus note, I'd err on the side of caution too. Remember, the reason we have...
The etchant from the other thread was vinegar and hydrogen peroxide. Other candidates are nitric acid and an iodine solution. Nitric acid is...
Well. This thread has been an interesting workshop on errors -- plus it has some posts that talk about coins.
People will still pay a significant premium for a restored key-date Buffalo nickel, and TPGs will even slab them as damaged but genuine. So I've...

I just wondered if they were coated with anything to help them separate. Based on my experiences trying to pry them out of the box and then worry...
I'm not 100% confident that those plastic bags are 100% inert, but they're likely better than anything else the coin would land on instead. Good...
Ah, just found my way back to this thread after someone revived another "restoring silver dates" thread. I somehow missed the resolution from the...
Kurt is proud to be a bad kitty. Although he'd take umbrage at having it phrased in quite that way.
As I understand it, "work hardening" makes the metal that flows into the die's recesses more resistant to etching than the rest of the surface....
I couldn't disagree more, because no two collectors will necessarily weight the various components of quality (strike quality, marks, wear,...
32 cents in modern coins is worth more than a worn Wheat cent. Yeah, I'm more interested in hearing about non-standard finds, too. In fact, if I...
It's not often one's presented with a straight line like that... nah. :angelic:
Separate names with a comma.
