Finding a valuable error in circulation: harder than you'd think. Finding a fool on YouTube: exactly as easy as you'd think.
If you're only asking about issues with the coins pictured, I don't know enough to comment on those types, and probably never will -- out of my...
I don't consider that a failing. This is a big field, and nobody has enough time and attention to master all its specialties. If a dealer makes a...
"Payment only by transfer, I no longer take PayPal". In other words, no buyer protection. "Sell or exchange 6 us gold coins, against gold 18k or...
Nice birthday star note, likely to match some folks who are still alive.
Except when they didn't: [IMG] To show movement in the other direction, a loaf of bread that retailed for $3.49 2011 is now $4.29 when it's not...

Okay, I need a two-minute break, and nitpicking fits the bill perfectly. :rolleyes: There are plenty of dishonest acts that aren't illegal. (I...
Not the silver-center cent? Or any of the other patterns?
(looks around frantically) Come on, guys! Who's on the duty roster? @oz_in_ohio hasn't had a response to his post yet, and it's been a full minute!!!
I just came across a beer bottle of cents that I filled and taped off in 1982. It's a brown bottle, so it's hard to get a true reading on the...
Found a fistful of cents, nickels and dimes in the Food Lion CoinStar. Left it all on the counter, except the 1943-D cent (rusty) and 1962 dime...
