I'd say get a coin dealer to XRF test 'em, and leave 'em in ball form.
Cool coin. Maybe they just pigeonholed the flan crack under "lamination" because it was the closest category they had. I suppose you could give...
Neat. I've never seen these.
Yes, I believe this was the case. I've seen pics of one or two like this. It is not common, but this is not the first one I've seen, either. I...
I've watched too many true crime shows. I saw "GSR" in the title and thought it stood for "gunshot residue".
Welcome to Thursday, everyone. It is now time to focus on the Classic Head half cent (1809-1835). The only coin of this type I presently own is a...
I’m sure I’ve played this one in this thread before, but just like when you shuffle a deck of cards, the same card will reappear every so often....

I'll start with our first type slot in the album: the Draped Bust half cent (1800-1808). Here's mine. Post yours! Then we'll all do the Classic...
Hi. Per a suggestion by user "creg" on Collectors Universe, I'm starting another group participation thread over there (so why not here as well?)...
Today (January 14th) would have marked the 115th birthday of my paternal grandmother, Jean Norton Shinnick (1911-1980). She was a talented...
It's going to take a while. Gotta take pics and all that good stuff...
Bump, to move this above the closed contests.

That's an exaggeration to say "most out there are fakes". Best you could say is that "some fakes exist". There's a difference.
