Erm, where did I say that (after editing)? :angelic:
Yeah, and the problem is this: you're not just conducting heat from the air to the ice, you're cooling down your piece of metal. In fact, I expect...
Heck, it's hard enough to evaluate these in-hand. From pictures? Yeah, I'd be flipping a coin.
I don't think so. An X-ray machine like that would never have the resolution necessary to discern a layer of silver plating. I don't know how...
Through my own poor time management I missed the window to return these. I socked the seller with negatives, as have quite a few other people, but...
The last couple of fakes I got (a Morgan and a WLH) weighed the correct amount, had the right diameter, and were non-magnetic, but were 10% or so...
The letters in your closeup look quite different from NGC's, even disregarding the die wear on the NGC example. The denticles on yours look...
It seemed like I remembered something about a guy who did some editing work on the side...
Hey, what do you know about ducats? ;) Your mention of huge 100 ducat coins ran me off to Google, which quickly ran me right back here. :)

Time again to start gnawing at the question of whether deliberate toning can be anything but "artificial" toning... :rolleyes:
"General circulation" begs for begging the question. In the US, I don't think any coin with a denomination higher than $20 has "generally...
If there weren't other forces at play, $1000 and even $5000 or $10000 bills would take care of that issue. In 1944, you could've paid for that...
I won't repost the images again, but here are four stages of PMD, illustrated with Liberty nickels...
It's already become the new dime. But even if it loses another 90% of its value, there will still be people fighting for continued production of...
A bit quiet this year, and somewhat fewer dealers -- the stands that are normally separate at the back (ANACS, Barber/Seated Collectors, etc.) are...
I was planning to make it over yesterday (show runs Friday-Sunday), but stuff intervened. I need to retrieve my daughter at 10, but I should get...
Classic illustration of "we know how to gas slabbed coins, but aren't very good at it".
So, McDonald's "Almost Food Free"? If I'd heard about this, I might have actually dropped by for some fries. It's been a long, long time since...
Both fake. Wherever you bought them, stop shopping there.
