I agree. These do not bother me at all since they are not great fakes, and clearly have WRL stamped into them. I have literally TONS, (ok, not...
Be very careful. I would never, ever suggest nail polish remover. Different brands but different stuff in there. You never know what besides...
How it turns out is a big one also. Some coins are simply damaged under the tarnish, and no matter how expert you are applying the dip, it will be...
A good book on a series you collect is the best money a coin collector will ever spend. It makes the coins you own more special, and gives you...
I agree, and it goes for everything. I usually do not buy bars simply because there are no hard metrics to make it easier to identify real versus...
I do not find the premium that bad. Think about it. Every coin or bar has a cost to manufacture. Saying $14 is "way too much" to cover acquisition...

I wouldn't have any idea what a stimulus check is.... :( All I know I am sure my taxes will be going up for a very long time to pay for all of...
I am not a condition snob in the least. I collect VG coins all day long if it fits a purpose. I was never one for BU US coins when I collected...
The pic looks like a fourree.
Hadn't thought about it. I just looked and I joined 10 years ago last June.
My first gold I didn't really purchase. It was a quarter ounce AGE I won at our coin club's show raffle. Instead of selling the tickets given to...
From that picture, the only clue I would have that it is fake is the roundness of the holder. Most Athenian tets are not very round, and are...
You could also try on Cointalk here. Research what dealers would offer, and try to do better here Paypal F&F or net regular Paypal. Most dealers...
