I'm pretty sure they've been posted here on the forum already. Do a search for posts by member ND86.
Yup, can't tell you how many times I've seen that. The coin was dipped, over-dipped even, in an effort to remove unsightly toning or a contaminant...
How does the profit from the minting of other coins make up for it ? It doesn't make up for anything - a loss is a loss. Sure they still show a...
I think it's likely that the decisions have been made, the problem is that the very low paid staff who handle the phones do not have that info or...
Not really zapd - genuine examples do exist. Read the info at the link in my first post.
Try reading what you find - HERE - first. But the obvious things to look for are a joint just inside the rim or along the edge of the coin. You'll...
Well, let's look at it this way. In 1994 the US Mint made $40 million profit from the minting of cents. And if I remember correctly, in 2005 they...
You'll get paid, but it will take about 3 months :( Next time, insist on Registered Mail. It's really the only way to go.

I cannot find examples of the coins in Krause, but that's not at all surprising as there are many unlisted coins. However, if you look in the...
Feel lucky instead. That's really a pretty cheap lesson ;)
Yes it could. You see even if the olive oil doesn't hurt the coin or make it worse than it is already - after its use you would still have to use...
The pics are a bit blurry and thus it is hard to say for sure what the grade is. But my guess is it would be AU based on details. I wouldn't...
Best way to find out that kind of stuff is to check realized auction prices on ebay. You can do that - HERE
A small bit of info - the Federal Reserve is not a goverment agency. It is a group of privately owned banks. And they do not make one cent of...
Although olive oil is in effect a weak acid I doubt it would do anything to or remove toning. What it does do is to remove encrustation from coins...
