This is reminding me of one of the reasons I run Linux.
Nice score, then. :) I don't see any signs that it's fake, but I don't know enough to say for sure.
I'm not sure if that would grade cleanly or not. The color is a little dark, and it has a minor rim issue at 7:00. OTOH, it is a key date, and...
I have no idea if it's a good strategy or not, as I'm not a silver stacker by any means. I do prefer coins over rounds and bars, though. And, if...
Lol, some days I think we should rename this to the PMD Forum. :) I think I hear a wooshing sound overhead.... :P
Now, that is a truly nice 1840 Seated dollar! Jump on it if the price is right.
By the standards of coins 50 years younger, I would say a majority of these have what you'd call "problems." This one is an amazingly nice coin...
Yeah, this is a good example of what I think of as "PMD by process of elimination." In other words, think about how this could have possibly...
Excellent group. Love the 1921's and also the 1882.
Hey, now, no fair showing a proof. That's likely to blow the $300 budget out of the water. :P
There is such a thing as a thick planchet error, but I don't know if this is it. The shape of the coin is weird, like it appears to be bulged out...
I've actually been kind of wondering about that. Specifically with tokens, for the most part, unless it's a CWT or other early token, it doesn't...
27.03 is an average. Sometimes they start out a little overweight. And, wear doesn't actually remove very much metal until you get way down into...
No idea what it means, if anything. This is what I think of when I hear "P35" though: [ATTACH] Pretty sure it's not related. :)
Hmm, ok, if the weight is closer to 27.1g, it's probably fine. I'd see about weighing it more precisely, but 27.1 is probably well within...
Interesting. That is definitely the same S/S/S shown on lincolncentresource.com, but that S in TRUST looks deceptively split. I think I'd have...
That's not a kangaroo, it's a life-sized wallaby. :p Just kidding, of course, but with a tonne of gold to work with, they could have actually...
I think it's actually pretty cool to do it as a "smallest circulating denomination" set. That's a super cheap way to go. Largest circulating...
Not sure which I like better, the slabs or the coins. :)
Just FYI to everybody here, I sent the seller a PM on eBay pointing out that it was fake. Based on a note in one of their other auctions, it...
