They have a "big supply" because they can order them for a few bucks apiece (at most) from an infamous Chinese online marketplace. I see a lot of...
Yeah, I can see them doing that, although I'm surprised they thought it was worth testing; I see these gold-plated novelties all the time, and I...
The paragraph I cited says: You're right, this doesn't say that String will "roll" your coins. It just says that they will pick them up, whether...
What did they do, polish it, or acid-test it? I see these at shows for a dollar or two, I believe. At least you aren't out very much.
It's a miniature copy of a St. Gaudens double eagle ($20 gold piece). They're usually gold-plated.
Yep. I bought a lot of metal-detected, heavily cleaned Mercury dimes, I forget how many, maybe 30. But many of them had high-grade details,...
Stranger things have happened. I seem to remember reading an article from a guy who decided to buy up all the 1933-S Walkers he could find, in...
Oh, it's not that. I think they just remember the title of the auction somewhere internally, and if they have that, they use it to run a search....
And it was, but when the link's target disappears two weeks later, there's nothing to be done about it. It's too late for the OP to edit that...

There'll be plenty of time for patience later, especially when you have kids of your own... :rolleyes:
I've spent a lot of time looking at Barber halves, so I see a number of red flags on the Barber half; furthermore, the one shown in the second set...
"Squalor". "Squandering" would mean she did spend her money. (Sorry, couldn't leave it alone, it itched too much...)
I wasn't either when I started, and have some embarrassing purchase records to show for it. :rolleyes: If you enjoy the hunt, you'll get better...
As far as coins go, though, if I suddenly found myself with a practically-unlimited budget and no need to worry about resale value, I think I'd go...
But responsibility is so BORing... :rolleyes: (Me too. I can enjoy any coins more once the mundane worries are taken care of.)
I just have to say: if this were any forum other than Ancient Coins, someone would have nominated this title for Troll of the Year... ;)
I was looking through completed listings for an eBay seller just now. He has some Peace dollar lots that worked out to about $15/coin before...
