If you're pulling stuff out of circulation, you're reducing the money supply. If you're putting non-coin stuff into circulation, you're increasing...
Rats, got a meeting scheduled in that slot. Any chance it'll be available for download somewhere?
I think that's different, though. In that case, he would be "diluting the money supply", by converting something with no face value into something...
Interesting question. I mean, he says on every coin listing "do not use as legal tender", and you'd be a fool to spend something for one...
Yeah, you can look at it that way. Of course, hobo nickels are "damaged", too, but good ones from well-known artists still command a hefty premium.

Sometimes it takes a while for auction updates to propagate through all eBay's servers, but I wouldn't expect it to take hours. Odd.

It's a chemical treatment, almost certainly, done very poorly indeed. I'd guess they're using some sort of liquid solution, or else not taking any...
Fresh from the oven: [ATTACH]
Not proofs, as others have said, but definitely in better condition than most coins that age. It looks like someone cashed in a collection, and...
Take a look at the completed listing, and see whether it says "ended" or "sold". For bonus points, watch and see if anybody leaves feedback for it.
This is a note to myself to mess around with polarizing filters on the camera and the light, and see if there's a way to get around the slab...
I'll add my voice to those welcoming you, @sunday13, and add one other thing: We get people here every day who've read about a rarity online, or...
I actually asked the ANACS rep at a local show if I could just stick some chewing gum in the hole, but he only laughed. :rolleyes: As I recall,...
They did at one point, then they stopped. When I was looking into authenticating a holed proof trade dollar, their policy was that they would...
Yeah, I thought about going there, but I know better.
