The real question is whether or not the word COPY is punched into the individual coin, or if it is created by the die itself at the time of...
And the planchets are also slightly smaller in diameter than the finished coins. If they were the same size they would not drop easily into the...
Clashmarks would come from the reverse die. There are no letters on the reverse die to create clashmarks. I believe the diagonal lines you are...
A lot of people make that comment but they don't seem to realize that eBay is not MEANT to replicate a live auction. It most closely replicates a...
My point was that it wasn't always terrible for the seller, I wasn't discussing the buyers. Although for the buyers sniping is also the best...
If they hadn't happened to receive some already there is no reason they would know what you are talking about. Unless the teller happens to be a...

Considering the ship sank in 1912, no they wouldn't have used a 1913. On somw things Cameron was very strict on historical accuracy. The dime...
But the two are not mutually exclusive. Build the collection and gain the reputation, then sell and have the money too. You might be surprised...
They look more like 18th century to me. Possibly even early 19th century
No. Of course the term "monitized" had no real meaning at that time. Today they say that the coins have not been "Monitized" until they have...
While you can get it on DVD, it doesn't appear to be an "official" release. More likely a copy made from a broadcast of the film. It is also...
Separate names with a comma.
