The pics are a bit small, but it looks harshly cleaned...?
Coin Marking Punch stamp reads COPY 2mm height EverStamp Replica Marking Punch How about that? Now, if you find an unmarked fake that has...
I honestly don't know. I don't have any proofs older than 1956 or so, and most of my impaired proofs are lightly-circulated Kennedy halves, so I...
Probably not four figures, unless I find a collector whose particular obsession is holed AND engraved coins. :) A quick eBay sold-items check...
Not compared to a decent stock portfolio. It was certainly better than tucking four greenbacks under the mattress, and probably better than...
At today's local coin show, a guy at the next table was asking how much rolls of 2013 ASEs were going for. The dealer said "$575", and the guy had...

I've got quite a few silver dimes I'd be ready to let go for a gallon apiece. At the rate things are going, a quarter a gallon might soon be a...
It's funny because it's true. :)
Because you know there will be a greater fool, er, a buyer who will pay you more than you're spending. Now THAT is "begging the question". :)

It may be. But the reason those highest-grade coins are worth so much is because they're very, very rare. Honestly, you'd probably get a higher...
The metal was on the coin; now it's on the tabletop. If that's not "moving", I don't know what is. :) Seriously, I'm pretty sure the guy at that...
