Really? The flea markets I've checked out seemed to have about a 30-40% markup from spot. Sounds like you've found a great opportunity; enjoy it...
Hmm. What's your definition of "defective"?
Go on. I, and I'm sure lots of others, would love to know the "not hard" technique for finding silver at 10% below melt. (Having a B&M storefront...
Put a nickel in acid long enough, and the nickel preferentially dissolves, leaving copper -- but it reduces the weight of the coin significantly....
LOL! Because Chinese counterfeiters certainly don't have their own websites to support direct sales. And Americans certainly don't buy coins...
Wow. I did not see that coming at all.
So, who exactly did you think would not be able to see the things you post here? Fun fact: if you precede a search term with a minus sign, Google...
I'll pile in on this one, as a sometime laser (and general light-source) enthusiast. Coins tend to be reflective, which means that most of the...
I'm confused by the direction this discussion is taking. Toning is the accumulation of a chemical layer on the coin's surface. For silver, this...
On the other hand, I believe the 1970-S proof half was going for quite a bit more in 1972 than it is now. I'm also remembering that the 1999...
I really don't see how you're going to make a profit after buying at nearly five times spot...?
That's more than double the mintage of most of the uncirculated First Spouse golds. The FS golds have gone up, but they haven't skyrocketed. The...
That's for sure. At last weekend's coin show, where spot on these was $396 or so, there was a guy who said he'd buy at $392 and sell at $400. I...
Heh. Got mine in '78 or '79, for something like $900; sold it in '86 and got an '84 Voyager. Stuck with Plymouth much longer than I should've. I...
VF details, harshly cleaned/polished, I'd say. It's often hard to grade from a photo, but with this one, there isn't much room for doubt.
I'd find something to invest in that doesn't have a built-in 40% buy/sell spread. Buy $1000 worth of collectable (non-bullion) coins from your...
*blink* Now I really miss that old '74 Duster...
146. 3.11 g per copper cent, 454 g per pound. And USPS flat-rate box shipping starts at more than $5. If you're looking for a one-pound lot of...
Makes me tempted to sell at the show tomorrow -- today dealers were offering 20x face for 90% (other dealers were selling at 21.25x face). But I'm...
You've actually got that exactly backward. HCl will gobble zinc, but without adding some other things to the mix, it won't do much to copper....
Separate names with a comma.
