Well Larry I don't know quite how to answer that. I myself am well known for calling a spade a spade and I have even used the word fraud before. I...
Ruben - how many times have you heard me say ? - if you don't know what you are buying, then you shouldn't be buying it. This is precisely why...
Not in this lifetime ;)
In the 1800's and early 1900's pltinum was cheaper than gold. Many fakes were made in platinum and then gold plated. Today, those fakes are...
Certainly possible Mike but unlikely that it is intentional. I've seen some very ugly AT coins but always figured it was due to the doctor...
Both look completely natural to me. But I'd choose the second because it doesn't have the fingerprints.
If you read my post and keep them within the intended context it is quite easy to understand for there is quite a difference between using cotton...

Dru, I only disagree with one part of your comment, that above. I do agree that just by laying a coin in your gloved hand you will likely not...
Yes I looked at the pics you suggested, they ar enot even close to the same IMO. Yes the denticles are flat, but that is the only similarity. The...
No, they moved the motto, not the rest. I have always thought they put it on the edge to begin with as a novelty in hopes that it would catch...
Depends on what you mean by bowl shaped. It could be a die cap.
You gotta admit though Larry that laura has a habit of getting on her high horse. That is the one thing that tends to tic me off. Yeah she knows...
Jack I have read Laura's reports for years - they never fail to give me a laugh. But for those who don't read them - you should. For you will...
Separate names with a comma.
