This is one of the cool things about living in the 21st century. :) If you want a gem or a coin to glitter, you want a bright point-source light....
Not sure why your title says "1966 D", but yeah, that definitely looks like a die gouge -- stands out from the field rather than digging into it,...
Bummer. On some other forums, I got in the habit of typing up my response in an editor and then copy/pasting it in, just because that kept...
Maybe, but I'm pretty sure people were saying the same when they went over $1000. Or, for that matter, when they went over $100. Given that...
Yes, I've sold silver to dealers. But I also realize that if I want to sell more than $1K worth, I'll get better money at Provident, and that...
Hang on, all the "old-fashioned high school biology type scopes" I've seen are monocular...?
You may be right, but I'll add one more thing: based on reports here, you'll go through a lot of quarters from circulation before you find even...

Yeah, I can see them doing that, although I'm surprised they thought it was worth testing; I see these gold-plated novelties all the time, and I...
The paragraph I cited says: You're right, this doesn't say that String will "roll" your coins. It just says that they will pick them up, whether...
What did they do, polish it, or acid-test it? I see these at shows for a dollar or two, I believe. At least you aren't out very much.
It's a miniature copy of a St. Gaudens double eagle ($20 gold piece). They're usually gold-plated.
Yep. I bought a lot of metal-detected, heavily cleaned Mercury dimes, I forget how many, maybe 30. But many of them had high-grade details,...
Stranger things have happened. I seem to remember reading an article from a guy who decided to buy up all the 1933-S Walkers he could find, in...
Oh, it's not that. I think they just remember the title of the auction somewhere internally, and if they have that, they use it to run a search....
And it was, but when the link's target disappears two weeks later, there's nothing to be done about it. It's too late for the OP to edit that...
