Here's another serial seller of counterfeits: le.le80 I started another thread about him some time ago. This is the guy who collected several...
Yeah, this seller seems to have quite a selection of old albums. But when I think of all those years of absurdly rare coins being pressed into...
...goes to this listing, which will be of interest only to those who want to collect proof Trade dollars from 1873 to 1883... and put them into an...
I wish I understood that better myself. I've got a pretty good background in chemistry, but this gets into metallurgy, and a lot of stuff that I...
Oh, come on. What are the odds against finding two fake quarter eagles in unsearched rolls? They must be astronomical! :rolleyes:
TBH, I haven't dug into genealogy for this. Buffington is an unusual name, but not that unusual, and I wouldn't have any idea how to dig down to...
Hey, we don't mock your compulsions, er, hobbies. ;)
If it was one of the last 200 or so minted, that's exactly what the original owner did. They didn't sell all 900 of the proof issues, so the...
I'll see your 1878-CC dollar and raise you an 1878-P proof: [IMG] [IMG]

I used to view that as a positive sign. I had a run-in with a seller who was listing a large number of very poor-quality counterfeits, mostly of...
"wal-martcoinshop"? Now, there's a name designed to inspire confidence and respect. The frequent name changes (four in the last year) might be a...
Well, under the circumstances, you should've brought back enough for the rest of us! :) Seriously, thank you so much for what you've built and...
No offense, but if an auction site is something that a better-than-average coder can work up over a few months, why do you suppose there aren't a...
Well, if we knew who was 206th or 205th, wouldn't it be a simple matter of subtracting to get an offset, then checking the post number?
How do you feel about modern US nickels, whose melt value (although actual melting is illegal) is roughly on par with their face value, and has...
There's a difference between fear and caution. There's an even larger difference between irrational fear and reasonable caution. You'd made four...
This doesn't sound right to me. IF the AT is produced by adding a colored foreign material to the coin, and that material is acetone-soluble, or...
Partial missing clad layer, with a weak strike where the layer is missing (because that part of the planchet is thinner than the rest)?
Separate names with a comma.
