Under those circumstances, how could he have a large number of extremely rare and valuable US coins, and still be poor? More to the point, how...
Whoa, slow down. The post you quoted is from 2005. Around that time, eBay had raised their fees by 50-60%, not to 50-60%, and only on certain...
I'm not sure what silver coins would look like after over 200 years in a "pigskin pouch", but I'm a bit skeptical that they'd look just like this...
That mark above "ONE" on the reverse looks like a significant dig to me, too. Is it actually incuse, or just surface discoloration? Beautiful...
The dime reverse looks like damage, but I don't know what to think about the V-nickel. I agree that it looks like a 4 under the 6, but an overdate...
If you want to get better at it, practice looking carefully at coins, taking careful photos, and asking the right questions. In other words, doing...
Yep, that cent looks 100% legit -- a shame about the corrosion, but a clear example of what a real clip looks like. For the dime, I would expect...
STOP WANTING WHAT I DON'T WANT! Chris, it's five o'clock somewhere. Maybe it's time to unwind a bit. ;)
So, apparently, are Merriam-Webster and Oxford.
Perhaps I'm just amoral, unethical scum, but I imagine a difference between "intentionally defrauding another person or institution" and "getting...
Now if only you'd flipped it back into silver during the real-estate run-up, but before the latest silver run-up... :)
Wow, up to $1318 today before the plug got pulled. Back down to 1292 before bouncing. May have something to do with an anti-Brexit MP being...
For a single item, I'd turn first to eBay. Lab suppliers usually only want to sell them by the case. Decades ago when I was looking for such...
Found a guy trying to cash a jar of mostly silver at a CoinStar. I wanted to offer him fair value, but didn't have enough cash. What to do? Well,...
I happened to click over to http://silverprice.org just a bit ago, and saw the moment-by-moment price of gold briefly break $1300/oz. It's been...
I have an uncirculated Jane Pierce $10 gold commemorative. Only around 3000 were minted. I would gladly trade it for a lowly 1909-S VDB in XF45,...
Sounds like you need what we computer folks call a "level of indirection". Don't write auction numbers on flips. Instead, keep your own list of...
After reading all the discussion about the 1/10 oz Mercury dimes, including their mintage, their level of detail, and the prevalence of finned...
I'm interested in your ideas about managing item numbers, but as a Web application developer, I don't think you'll have much luck getting eBay to...
This thread is worthless without pictures. Or rather, it would be; with the excellent photo of the original coin, and @Cascade's excellent overlay...
