Here's a description/title I don't see every day: 1895 Barber Half Dollar PCGS MS-63 Nice Obv. but Rev. Toning is not for everyone Is there a...
Remember this story? There was an arrest this week, and the FBI has released more details about the theft. It looks like my original guesses and...
Started collecting in Maryland in the very late 1960s. I was just a little kid, so I didn't see a lot of money in circulation, but I remember the...
Seriously? Instead of arguing the point, you're going straight to a personal attack and dragging in politics? You can do better. Now, see? Was...
By the way, here's a link to the seller on the bogus auction, which has now disappeared.
Hmm. Tell me more about this point at which fraud somehow magically changes from an unethical (and usually illegal) activity to a desirable way of...
Now, don't go profiling people just because they have a Chinese name. Or zero feedback. Or auction listings for coins that were never minted....
... has got to be this guy: 1889-CC SILVER MORGAN DOLLAR ~~ 1889 CC Morgan silver dollar. The coin pictured is the coin you will receive. I...
Because every once in a while, it works out. And when it doesn't, eBay Buyer Protection has your back. Or, perhaps more likely, because they're...

I bought a harshly cleaned ASE a few years back (2013?) with the idea of carrying it as a pocket piece to wear it down -- you don't see that many...
I think it might have been an emergency conservation measure because we were in danger of running out of smilies.
A few pictures might be worth a lot of words here. Here's a pretty well-exposed shot, with its histogram: [ATTACH] That big spike corresponds to...
You don't need to worry about the amplitude of the spikes on the histogram. They just indicate how many pixels have the corresponding level....
Nice! I see your point, but I'll still bet the TPGs would slab them -- I mean, yeah, they're more fragile than metal coins, but a drop severe...
I agree. I'd be really nervous about buying a camera with so little info available online. I don't know what country you're in, but here in the...
Well, I've been off to the Wikipedia article, and now I'm terribly curious about the "pressed galvanic coal" Notgeld coins it mentions. Googling...
I'm feeling a bit lazy; would you consider editing your posts so that each coin photo has a line above or below it saying which element it...
