Whatever happened to talk of building a dedicated museum for the numismatic collection? Must have been 10 years or so ago they were fundraising...
Wow. That is so fake it isn't even funny. Is it trying to fake a pattern? I don't know the patterns well... is there a pattern that has that design?
So did you get one?

Alex, I'll take "Things I'd never buy Raw for $1000"
Your poll makes no sense... only one of those is a coin grading service. As for your question - I buy NGC as much as possible.
The areas you point out are unusual, yes. However, these are perfectly natural signs of an old, overused die. Your coin has not been cleaned or...
Why do you say this coin has been whizzed? What signs do you see?
Some kid was probably very disappointed they could not find their squished penny! I used to do this occasionally with my grandpa, and I know we...

That listing doesn't really show us the DDO at all. Can you show us better pics of what we're looking at?
Well, I already own several of these in lower grades and I'm content with them. I wouldn't vote for a details coin if I didn't have to. So, I...
I have never bought a mint product new... I was considering these sets because of the whole 250th thing.... not sure I'm still considering it!
Your comment made me go check what these will be listed for.... $125? What the heck?
I'm not entirely sure it has the right surface, but I'd say either whizzed or buffed. Maybe burnished?
It isn't necessarily rude to ask a collector what they paid. Some of us will share, some of us won't. Many of us buy at public auctions, so you...
