Nahhhhh - it really aint worth it. None of the coins will slab, at least not in anything except a Genuine holder. They've all been harshly cleaned...
Oddly enough, with some countries the records dating back to the early middle ages are precise enough that you can not only find out what year the...
Unfortunately I do not. Even the Davenport books which are the definitive reference do not list mintages.
Absolutely, it's the very same one that I have always, always said that is mandatory for everyone to follow - know your dealer. Know your...
Well the fact that these coins were the only ones not authenticated raises suspicion by itself. But looking at the coin makes it even worse. Given...
Except that chop marks were not being used any longer by 1921. And please, show me another example of a chop mark like this one, with the squiggly...
Well based on his article he is presupposing that he has seen every Peace dollar out there. Just because somebody, even David Hall, hasn't seen...

I'm not either. But I am saying what I am saying to HELP YOU ! Even my last comment. I am not now nor have I ever tried to criticize you. I do...
Can't say as I blame you, don't like chop marks myself. But an ugly turn-off is not reason to think a coin is fake. Now realize, I am not saying...
With all due respect BNB - then you still should have asked the qurestions and exercised some patience until you DID have the money. So please,...
It will not harm your scanner at all. I have scanned hundreds and hundreds of coins. It does create a little work for you though. For once...
Not to make it worse or anything, but people have been doing that since the coins were issued. I did it myself in 1999. Now, learn from this....
When trying to post pics from PhotoBucket you have to use the Insert Image icon (it's that little square yellow icon with what looks like 2...
