I ended up going to the post office and picking it up after all -- I had some business in that direction, but it was still an extra 20 minutes or...
More of a stretch than that, I think -- I don't believe these planchets were annealed for the weeks it would probably take to grow zones that...
Those don't look like any grain boundaries I've ever seen, and you'd need to work really hard to get monocrystalline zones that large.
And, by a coincidence so eerie it's worthy of the X-files, many of these "experts" just happen to have gold they're willing to sell you at today's...
Please clarify what you mean by "single coin". If you mean "single (general) design", I imagine it's still the (Liberty head) $5 gold, struck at...

Around two weeks ago, I won a $10 (+ $2.64 shipping) lot that included two two-cents, two Mercs, a silver Washington, and a few other odds and...
And that's a bit ironic, given that H2S is what most easily causes tarnish in the first place...
Maybe to get ahead of the curve we should establish a grading/slabbing service for them!
Well, I guess it's not big enough, then, is it? *chortle*
I'm shooting RAW with a Canon T4i, and I'm currently without Photoshop (my version won't run on a modern OS, and I don't want to start paying...
