That's an odd question. If people (or organizations or countries) started thinking that the U.S. were inclined not to pay its debts, who would buy...
I really must get one of those... ;) [IMG] The images at this link seem to make the difference pretty clear, but I have to admit that I haven't...
"15 business days handling and shipping time" makes me a little nervous. This is one way for the seller to sell short with a 3-week window. But...
I'm not sure there's enough left of that coin to distinguish die doubling from machine doubling or die deterioration. If it doesn't match a known...
...and thus a perfect fit for an online forum. :)
I certainly understand the difference. To me, though, the mint finish looks so much like a harshly-cleaned field that I just can't appreciate it....
Well, I have great news for you -- there are lots and lots of coins available with that sort of surface texture, in every series. They're easy to...
Now, there's a metric for you. Three years ago, that 1950 quarter would have bought me a fairly nice hamburger (melting at $7.50 or more)....

Okay, here's what I was seeing on the "bad" enhanced uncirculated example. In all these images, I've arranged the lighting to maximize the...
Okay, then, 1909-S VDB cents. 484,000 minted, far more than the total number of Kennedy sets to be made. Even though the cents are so much more...
You're proposing that inflation is likely to "remain" at its "current rate" of "1.2% a year" (snicker)? Setting aside the issue of what contrived...
I sort of play it by ear. It really depends on how hard the coins are struggling while I'm trying to secure them.
No, it happened prior to the trolling.
One of my two sets is going back today. That set includes the reverse proof with gunk on the chin, the regular proof with debris on the obverse...
I sure wish I hadn't exchanged quite so much "paper" for "real wealth" back in 2011. The "paper" I kept has done a lot better than the "real...
PTD. Pre-Troll Damage.
Have you checked it with a magnet? I don't see anything on the "thick" coin to make me believe it's anything but a counterfeit.
As someone who often has to pick through the potato bin at the store to find the right size for my recipe, or to find ones that aren't too heavily...
No, in 2011 the rapidly-rising price of silver ate into the margins. During the brief period when silver was above $45, the Mint was probably...
