Based on your reported weights - both coins would be fakes. Correct weight is 2.5 grams. If weighed on an accurate scale what you will likely...
Dru for years now I have been unable to decide if you are blind or just ignorant - meaning uninformed - when you make comments like this - If...
Actually it is a good idea here. You'll learn more that way. And keep in mind, first and foremost I am a member of this forum, just like you. And...
It's toning. Most likely toning caused by the coin coming from an original Mint Set from the period. They looked like this one below. The...
abe - if you actually look at the history of numerical grading it becomes much easier to understand. Since the beginning in 1948 when the...
He started posting again yesterday.
Yeah, nothing but water and an electrical cuurent. And that electrical current can and will pitt the coin. Same for sonic cleaning, it too is...
Howdy vent, Welcome to the Forum. Shame you just joined, I lived in Salt Lake for 27 years, just moved to PA this year. Anyway, your coins -...
We probably won't know the mintage numbers until at least next year sometime, and maybe the year after that. As for whether you did well or not -...

If you were to bet me, you'd lose. I could buy dozens of the best computers for what I have spent on books. And still spend on books. And I'm...
hkiefus - may I ask you a question ? Exactly what kind of journey is that you are on ? I ask because based on this comment above it seems as if...
It's a fake.
Just a point of correction, olive oil is far from inert. Olive oil contains an acid, and that acid is the only reason that olive oil removes...
The way I read it, they are not going to gaurantee the grade either. Take the 70 DCAM cent I mentioned earlier. That coin did not change color, in...
Well, make that 2 turned in the holder, not 3. Because the 70 DCAM cent they "claim" turned in the holder - didn't.
I guess you need to define things a little. What exactly is a fair shake or a decent price ? By define I mean what percentage of spot equals...
It's not funny at all, it's expected. You see, that's the problem with pictures - they don't always show you what the coin really looks like. In...
Separate names with a comma.
