Absolutely. It was a hideous mistake to ever even consider copper-plated zinc as a coinage material.
Looks like MoneyMetals is offering to buy dimes and quarters at 10% back of melt (36.85x), and selling around 1.5% back of melt (40.21x). I can...
Well, it's sure not a very clear map of the Moon - not sure what they were shooting for with all those little bumps - but I see Tycho and...
Yep, I should've bought up those culls at $32 each at the show last weekend. Edit to add: this is the first time "melt value" for silver has ever...
I'm specifically suspecting laundry machines - those sliding quarter carriages seem like they'd be harder on coins than standard vending machines....
Apparently the really did grade each coin individually. I've seen only 68 and 69 for the gold strikes in the listings I checked, but a lot of 65s...
I loved that design from the first time I saw it, and I ended up accumulating several of them.
I thought I was too obnoxious to overlook from the beginning. :rolleyes: Looks like I missed observing my 15th anniversary here. Oops!
I think the highest Hennings come is XF, "extremely fake"...?
I think I've gotten the hang of it in the twelve years since that post. ;) Yep, still have it! In fact, I still have all three.
One that I listed on eBay years ago - I think I paid something like $60 for this, and I still think I got a good deal, but I doubt I'll ever find...
Three views of the same coin: [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
My first was actually three gold coins, part of a large eBay lot. I thought I was making out like a bandit, but eventually learned enough to...
Wow. I haven't yet found a store that ever rounds in their own favor; it's always to the favor of the customer. In fact, I could probably turn...
Aw, man, and this is the first year in decades (except the first year of COVID) that I won't be up that way to see family. :(
Or, if anyone did, they're following the first rule of lottery-winning: don't tell anyone!
I like this - it's a nice twist on the usual conversions between value and weight based on coin type. Based on my recent experience, I'd put the...
It's got an L on it, plain as day, one-third in from the left and bottom of that last image! Clearly the letter fell off an 1864 cent, lurked in...
...a chance to pick a fight, apparently. And then cry about being a victim when someone blocks your punch. Sorry.
I'll put up with a lot to get gold under melt.
