You're right Roy, there are times when you can say with certainty that a given coin is a fake based only on a picture. But there's a whole lot...
OK, so what is your definition of a Proof ? Andy Lustig and I once had this discussion. My definition of a Proof is any coin where the dies and...
OK, you got it. But now I'm taking it away because you can't read what's right in front of your face :D
I can't remember of fthe top of my head but I think the first US Proofs were minted in either 1814 or 1816. But like Hobo says, they didn't become...
At what point do you say, "Enough is enough!"? When you have to ;)
Hardly like ebay - Coin Talk doesn't get paid, ebay does. But let me ask you a question. Suppose you go to a coin show and while at that show you...

Your generation isn't lost, it just hasn't been found yet ;) 'Course there aint been anybody lookin either :D
They did. And it was not uncommon. They'd use any source for planchets they could get and had done so for centuries. You have to remember, by 1796...
When you guys go buy gold, silver, or any other precious metal or commodity - you pay for with money. And it's just that simple - money is what...
