Yep. The last offer I got for 90% was a fraction of face value, too -- 205/10, to be exact. :)
I'm not going to call out a "least favorite", because I once did that (Barbers), and now I seem to be mostly focused on them. :) I'd hate to find...
A couple of real gems this morning. Will buy old Coins for a Premium Don't sell your old silver coins to a pawn shop or a "We buy Silver",...
That's certainly the approach I try to use when I'm bidding on eBay lots.
I prefer the many predictions I've seen indicating that silver will be more than $100/oz in 2013. I hope it works out better than all the...
Studying the highlights, it looks to me like the reverse detail is relief, while the inverted obverse detail is incuse -- exactly what I'd expect...

I wouldn't be so fast to block him. He may well be returning it exactly the way it was sent to him. I've received coins taped to paper before,...
Good news! I found a war nickel. Bad news! It sticks to a magnet. No silver. Won't even go through the CoinStar. Man, I thought I had a $1.50...

Funny thing is, their last coin lot -- a Morgan, a Peace, a Walker and a Barber half -- looked completely legit, although cleaned and/or polished...
