I don't see a thin planchet or a uniface here, and I've never seen nor heard of a normal-thickness coin coming out of the press warped (not that...
How would it "buckle" between two dies?
I'm afraid I find them a little terrifying. Most of those flips have a ghost impression that's greenish -- and that implies that they've been...
I'm not an Ike collector, but just looking at Numismedia FMV, yep, there's a huge difference between 63 and 65. Not a lot of gem Ikes floating...
Ah. That looks like a "gold filled" or "heavy gold enameled" hallmark:...

Wow, that looks severely corroded on the cupronickel portions, and mechanically disturbed at the borders between the copper and cupronickel areas....
Type milk spotting into Google; it'll answer more quickly. ;)
It's hard to sneer at a two-kilo lump of silver. But I might be tempted to alter that "R" in the denomination to an "L". ;)
See, that's not true, though. Annealing metal definitely causes atoms to migrate. Cold working might or might not, I don't know (one of the many...
I was thinking along similar lines, but that's a really high premium compared to what I'm used to at local shows...? JM Bullion lists them for...
Hard to have one without the other; every time one is bought, someone else is selling it...
It seems like you've completely ignored my second paragraph. If you claim that gold doesn't fluctuate, you're saying that every other common good...
The specification works out to 0.77344 troy ounces of silver per coin.
