What the heck? Someone spent a lot more than ten cents worth of time turning that quarter into a 15-cent piece...
I chose my words carefully. I'm pretty sure the dollar hasn't lost 50% of its purchasing power in the last 12 years; I think it's lost much less...
I believe @Insider still has a deal for CoinTalk members where you can get ICG to grade coins for $10 each. The market seems to prefer PCGS or NGC...
Oh, it's certainly proof of something, all right.
I had to do a double-take on that fourth photo. "A ladyslipper? In a pot?" But I certainly don't know my orchids, so I'm guessing it's just a...
You can get a "flat clinch" stapler. It flattens the staple as part of the process. Still not 100% mistake-proof, but a lot safer for coins. I've...

Look how wide and fuzzy the lettering is on the top one (the fake) compared with the bottom one (presumably real). On the top one, look how the...
Not forever. Big heavy equipment can carry big heavy batteries, and electric motors are always more reliable than internal-combustion engines....
Hi, Candace, and welcome to CoinTalk! You'll have better luck if you start your own thread -- scroll up to the top of the screen, click on US...
