Wow, sure enough. Sure wish someone could go after a couple of these with a high-res, tiny-spot-size XRF setup. Or sacrifice one for destructive...
Yeah, I'd be alarmed seeing that on .999 -- it's possible that the bits of foreign metal left in the gold could concentrate into spots that tone,...
Those are skewed pretty old compared to what I find in change around here! I'd guess eagle reverses are only 10-20% of the quarters I get, and...
I like the series. I like your example in particular. A couple of quibbles with the write-up: while I see Type 1 and Type 2 most commonly, I see...
Don't think so. Weak and uneven denticles, mushy stars, raised blobs in the obverse field behind the head, and the whole design looks wrong. I'm...
I can't deny your experience, but I can't see any way that minerals in water would make a significant difference. It's the nitrogen in their urine...
Why? It's not like you'd be able to spend it then. :rolleyes: On the other hand, if you did, I'd happily offer to double your money...
Pretty sure that was an inside job by someone at the Mint. ;)
Here was the scenario I had in mind: 1) Look up price to send package with tracking. 2) Put that many stamps on the package. 3) Take it to the...
When I handed over a package with pre-printed (via eBay/PayPal) postage, they still gave me a receipt with the timestamp, point of mailing, and...
I'm going to go ahead and call this type set O-positive.
Read post number 7 in this thread. goldcollector posted a for-sale ad, collected payment from Garlicus, and never sent the goods. Now, he wants to...
And by "take the $20 and be done with it" you mean "take the $20 and never send the silver", I assume?
Yes, that's what I meant.
Obverse photo makes it look cleaned and retoned to my eye, but from the way things are worded and the way the discussion's gone, I guess I'm wrong.
My understanding was that if you didn't cancel all existing bids before ending the auction early, eBay would consider the item sold to the current...
I had a case where I bought a one-ounce gold coin, the seller said they shipped, they provided a tracking number -- and I watched through that...
Better yet, hire a buyer to go find things for you. I mean, if price is no object... :rolleyes:
Yeah, I wouldn't put this one on the seller yet. I shipped something where it took several days for it to show up in tracking; ever since, I've...
Only if you consider the ATB pucks "novelty pieces". I do, but the Mint apparently doesn't.
