Because then you can get $17.50 at a yard sale for a few cents' worth of metal. And because a fake 1893-S will get a lot more scrutiny than a fake...
Very cool! Any hope of getting a transcription/translation of the blade inscriptions? I can't imagine Google's language tools would be quite up to...
Belief is important, but physics has a veto, and uses it.
What "level of wear"? It's a terrible fake. Half the poor bird's butt is gone. Wear doesn't remove device detail from recessed areas. I wouldn't...
I'm not a big Morgan fan; I don't like them as much as other silver coins. HOWEVER, I know that there are plenty of collectors who do, and I know...
Really, really tiny chance that there's any silver in that thing. Those letters and stars are ridiculous.
But wouldn't you have to go into a Chuck E. Cheese to do it? :nailbiting:
Well, since it's not 2020 any more, presumably they have stopped making them.

I think one of the main points of the program is to get new designs into circulating coinage. Half-dollars aren't really "circulating" at this...

I did finally get a couple of the new quarters in change, and yeah, the obverse is improved. Still would prefer Lady Liberty, though.
Well, gosh, maybe we should lock down the country every year. I mean, cheap gas, what's not to like? :banghead:
"Blockchain Mint"? Are you sure you're buying an actual ounce of silver, and not just an NFT representing an ounce of silver? :rolleyes:
Yep. The problem with that display is that somebody put Zincolns in it.
If posting the image seven times doesn't work, try posting it nine times...
Sounds like you did very well indeed. Glad it's settled to everyone's satisfaction.
An actual proof Peace dollar for "a few" grand? o_O
This is probably a good place for me to add that I definitely have NOT ever done PM transactions at this scale myself, so I'm not speaking from...
Separate names with a comma.
