Nothing to see here folks..........and please remember to not feed the trolls. :)
Well, I was going to say something when I saw Doug, (GDJMSP), had exactly 39,000 posts here. I missed it, he has snuck up to 39,004 posts as of...
Maybe I missed that part. IDK. To me, though, you were both wrong, (but you were not really misled since the seller posted clear pictures), you...
Exactly, which is why I find coins fascinating. To me, a countermark is a coin, just a coin struck onto another coin. There is a whole field in...
Sir, I agree with Idhair as well. The seller took good photos, enough that the buyer should have known what he was buying. In law, if both the...
5 and 3 stand out to me, and if forced to guess I would say 3. Doug is right, there is no real "proof". I dislike the terms AT and NT. AT can...
Nah, if that were the case I would already have been on the show. Great thing about coins is how little space they take up, even when they number...
Btw Gnomey, yes you are correct. In China the preferred form of silver was Mexican 8 reales. Heck, the Mexicans went back to 8 reales denomination...

Op, yes I should have also linked you Mr. Esty's wonderful site. I have been learning from him, (though he probably didn't know it), from the...
Who said that? I have a car dealer I like and go back to him. Why are you assuming I do not like them? Every profession has to deal with the...
So, for your list: 1. Identifying fakes will take a while. Best to stick with dealers we can recommend to you, or have us look at pics before you...
I don't give a darn you used to be a car dealer. Sorry if I hurt your feelings, but I was simply using the analogy most commonly used by the...
Sir, do you go into a car dealership and assume the only reason the car dealer is saying something is for your benefit? You do not discount...
Really? "“The real value of silver is far from being realized,” said Andrew Chanin, chief executive officer of PureFunds, which offers the...
Lol yep. Reminds me of a story about stocks. You see all kinds of recommendations for stocks, and same thing. If they were so sure why tell...
