Not really far fetched really. They could laser engrave a tiny microscopic code so small you couldn't see it, but enough to specifically identify...
To me, (and I usually hate mint packaging), that packaging makes that coin way cooler than normal.
Sorry, I don't view the mods here as "strong arms". Mods need to enforce forum rules, since they are put in place to facilitate discussion. I am...
"Fakes" is a word with many meanings in this hobby. If you are talking about modern reproductions just to fill an expensive hole, yes there is...
I suppose its possible, but I have also seen coins coated with nickel that were magnetic. Some of the third party people who coated coins for HSN...
Honestly, I have been wondering when this would happen. Nothing on a slab is very high tech at all. Unless they wish to start putting encrypted...
Sounds like you have a stronger market price for sales. Around here I can buy 90% pretty consistently for spot, so the dealers need to make up for...
So you are ignoring the EXPLOSIVE demand for coins that has occurred in the last 5 years, and trying to say something is wrong with supply and...
Its like a joke collection, but people are paying real money nowadays to get the lowest, problem free graded coins they can. Its basically like...
I agree with Jeff, most smart buyers will always discount 40 and 35% more severely than 90%. The sell prices vs PM is also lower. The major...
Lol, I just got an email about these today, but didn't post a thread since people probably would have accused me again of being "so anti-slab"....
So, the counterfeit slab maker needs to invest $300 in a laser printer? That is reassuring. :(
Yes we have, but its a trade group so I doubt they have any real desire to make silver appear a lot more plentiful than it is. Since its the only...
You sure Chris? "You see, as soon as the heist happened, the crook knew that time was not on his side because the casino started to...
Chris can answer better than I, but I thought the casinos were allowed to post in the papers when they were discontinuing a series of chips, give...
That would be the scam. Authentic coin, but just lower grade, that you put in a fake PCGS holder. How many buyers never question the grade? I...
It couldn't possibly be a real steel cent since there were no steel planchets around in 1940. Even if the 1940 is magnetic, it would only mean it...
Boy, they really have gotten fancy, huh? I admit I only have a few old time chips from group lots I had gotten over the years. My mother was a big...
Hmm, I would think the total value of current series of chips unredeemed would have to be listed as a liability. I don't see how they would get...
Well, my point would come from here: http://www.silverinstitute.org/site/supply-demand/ Even if we assume industrial demand and photography...
