I haven't gotten sucked into capped-bust coinage very deeply, but I saw this pair on eBay and thought they might be worth a gamble. I honestly...
In the good old days, when any curious child could get hold of hideously toxic and corrosive chemicals, it was fun to take a nice shiny penny and...
Again, they're being sold as fakes at that price. People then turn around and sell them as real coins at a higher price, still low enough to seem...
There are well-known Chinese sites that have advertised and sold these very fakes for years now. (I won't risk sending business their way by...
They did have a knowledgeable person accepting and reviewing such reports for a number of years. Her name was Judith, as I recall. She worked with...

Well, at least that's settled.
Wow. I wish my local pawnshops would sell for under melt (at least on purpose). The one shop never seems to keep stuff long, so I guess they're...
Yup, doesn't matter how good it looks if it weighs wrong and sticks to a magnet. Guess now we know who's buying some of those "2018 AMERICAN...
That's absolutely true, unless you're eager to take a loss. If it were easy to buy low and sell high, the market would adjust to make it more...
Not if you buy right. Having said that, I'm not sure $100 would be "buying right" for this. It's got good details, but it might be hard to find...
Just about the oldest Lincoln cent you'll ever find roll-hunting, or anywhere else. :) (The VDB variety would be a little older...)
Wow, finding 1 silver half is pretty good, given that you searched zero... ;)
