I'm afraid that's corrosion, and the coins will never be the same -- if you remove the "goop", they'll be discolored and/or pitted underneath it....
Yep, that's jostled-camera doubling. You can tell because it extends to the carpet, too. ;)
I'll buy a raw one if it's below melt and I can be confident it's at least actual gold (weight and dimensions check out). Of course, I don't get...
Ah. I see that they (still) have separate listings (and prices) for VF, XF, AU, BU, and "cleaned". I'm guessing that they aren't particularly...
Melt for a quarter is currently $2.70. When you said "slightly above melt... $6", it made me think you had half-dollars in mind (melt currently...
Were you mistaking these for half dollars?
My silver guy doesn't pay as much for slicks like this, which is fair, because they've lost significant silver weight. But even slick Barbers will...

I just reported a fake 1909-S VDB (die chip on left wheat ear, etc.), and the form provided a text box for me to describe the issue. When Report...
Planes got a lot faster, I think. And quieter (electric), and louder (jets).
My first impression was "why it the 7 half again as tall as the other digits?" In the closeups, I can see that it may just be a matter of...
That 7 in the date looks off to me. Anybody else?
...I'm sure it must have shown up on the Errors forum here sometime recently: UNIQUE GRADED ANACS AU 58 STATE QUARTER COIN ERROR GREASE ERRORS...
That quote makes me nervous, because: a) It doesn't indicate that there were clad Ikes as well b) It points out that 40% quarters weren't for...
Careful there. Age also apparently makes you remember things that never happened. ;)
I've got a few as well (including some really lame ones from the wrong year), but no reeded ones. Nice find!
