Because you know there will be a greater fool, er, a buyer who will pay you more than you're spending. Now THAT is "begging the question". :)
Your best bet is to find them around CoinStar machines, which usually reject them. Seems like a lot of people have decided that if CoinStar won't...
It may be. But the reason those highest-grade coins are worth so much is because they're very, very rare. Honestly, you'd probably get a higher...
The metal was on the coin; now it's on the tabletop. If that's not "moving", I don't know what is. :) Seriously, I'm pretty sure the guy at that...
After all, once you spend that much on a coin, are you really going to want to pop for a reholdering fee?
What's going on with the denticles at the left edge of the bottom support on the reverse (between 6:00 and 7:00)? It almost looks like the edge...
That would be quite a trick.
That's... really amazingly useful. Thanks! (Wonder if they'll "fix" this by and by, as they did for US listings some time ago?) Prior to this,...
...is going to take a while to dissect. LOT OF 493 ASSORTED U.S. COINS DAMAGED NO DATES AND DARK $21.10 FACE VALUE LOT OF 493 ASSORTED U.S....
That whole hole probably reduces the weight of the coin by less than 1%.
One thing to keep in mind: a lot of the recipients will be uncertain about a "funny-looking" note, and deposit it at the bank, where it'll most...
I do prefer "problem-free" coins, but I don't avoid problem coins so assiduously as some posters. As we've seen, the definition of "problem coin"...
I don't think I'd make any higher than F, realistically -- the hairline has almost completely disappeared, and the abdomen was apparently weakly...
Better than "Wrong Planchet"!
The 1871 cent is terribly damaged, but a great date. Similar coins can get $10-30 on eBay. The nickel is a common date, but still worth more than...
Yeah, but it doesn't show the date, so that hurts the value. :) Edit: Maybe not -- maybe it's a 100% off center $100 Platinum Eagle struck on...
Well, off-center strikes are worth more if they show a date. Of course, to get a really good idea of value, we'll need a picture -- or, at least,...
I'm seeing what I'd interpret as rub on the highest points of the left one -- hair on the obverse, wing feathers on the reverse. But I definitely...
And I just got a confirmation email as well! Thanks, OP, and everyone else who kept bumping the thread until I finally spotted it! :hail:
Wow, wish I'd seen this sooner. I've just emailed the application; we'll see what happens. Guess they have my contact information now either way...
