There's no substitute for a first-hand account. :) Thanks for posting this! Having said that, Wikipedia claims that Nelson Bunker Hunt "was fined...
Of course. Even if the differences on the coins are subtle, the difference on the label is easy for anyone to see. :rolleyes:
I don't see anything beyond what @Dave Waterstraat pointed out. I'm just here to sit in on the free class. :)
Ah, right, and I can see how you'd think that. Cuds do sort of look like that lump at the bottom of your dime's obverse. But in your third image,...
Gosh, I don't know. Why do people sell and buy defective pennies? ;)
Exactly what you'd expect to happen to people running a failed multi-billion-dollar scheme -- they were fined multiple millions of dollars,...
Hmm. Tell you what. Put yourself in the place of someone looking at that cent, someone who's heard talk of "valuable error coins", but hasn't had...
Please post clear pictures of both sides of the coin. There are many copies or reproductions of Confederate coins, and very, very few real...
Hope it was a really good gumball...
Please consider starting your own thread to discuss this coin (and others from your find). Resurrecting an old thread confuses people who haven't...
Whaddya mean, "trying"? ;) It's just a shame she isn't using a more durable canvas. Say, eggshells.
Heh. My dad's family have been hill folk for centuries (literally, they settled the area in the late 1700s). The old homestead was built before...
That's why I said "unless... tungsten cores". As far as I know there's still no way to actually strike a design into tungsten, so the current...
I'm still hoping to hear back on size/weight. Unless they've gotten the hang of striking smaller coins over tungsten cores, I can't see how you...
So, "base metal" -- do they miss on weight, dimensions, or both?
:eek: Where in the world does THAT come from? I need to know more!
Ah, hindsight: the thinking man's investing tool. ;) (As opposed to "the rich man's investing tool")
Which is the only way you're likely to see me enter a Ferrari showroom. :rolleyes:
That, and/or they don't know what they're doing. A quarter is 91.67% copper, 8.33% nickel; it has two layers of 75% copper/25% nickel bound to a...
Hey, at least nobody's piled in with five pages of gold-bar photos... ;)
