Five cents. :) If you think you have the rare proof variety, your best bet is to take very clear and well-lit photos of both sides of the coin,...
Please note that this thread had been dormant since August 2009, until a new member (accidentally?) rang the doorbell and ran away. ;)
Setting aside the incendiary "protect people from themselves", I'm at a bit of a loss what it means to "protect the hobby" without protecting the...
Wow. They ruled that a medal with no denomination and no resemblance to any official issue was in violation? That seems like a spectacularly bad...
That's not what I intended to argue. Instead, I'm arguing that those who wrote and passed the HPA wouldn't have bothered trying to define what...
I don't see how this interpretation is consistent with the HPA. If it's an offense to produce a die in likeness of a genuine coin, but legal to...
Hmm. I was kind of expecting that they'd have dropped below issue price in the aftermarket by now, but I haven't seen it. I might consider it --...

Ugh. It seems to me that "lack of technical precision in diction" in a legal decision is on par with "lack of precision in aim" when firing a...
Ah, I missed that part. That's even worse -- if you can see that there are desirable coins in the photo, you still aren't guaranteed to get them....
I certainly can't argue with that. Here's one thing I have been confused about, though. In stories you and others have quoted about the latest...
As a side note, I don't know about Etsy, but I do know that on eBay "ESTATE SALE" is right up there with "KEY DATE" and "RARE" -- 99% of the time,...
