Yes the coin is a fake. There are only 15 genuine examples that exist. No idea how it got to Samosir, probably from some tourist. They have these...
Apparently you need to learn much about how grading works. The difference between these two is not the grade - but why they were each graded what...
The uneducated often throw their money away.
Personally, I'd never, ever, buy such a coin at any price. But there are those who would. And as I said they would likely pay about $3k. That's...
My mistake - apologies. To be quite honest with you I think that buying bags of these coins from any year/mint with the hope that they will...
Genuine ? Maybe. But the coin has issues, I'd never consider it.
Kinda looks like the coin was once coated with shellac, maybe fingernail polish. It will probably take acetone to get it off. But that in itself...
Take it to PM's guys ;)

Info is there for everything but recent years. The books always lag behind 2 or 3 years.
Given that the 2000 Sacky was minted in huge numbers - over 1.2 billion - it is extremely unlikely that the coins will ever have any value over $1...
I'm not missing it at all - that is precisely my point.
The TPG's will only attribute errors/varieties and note them on the slab if you first ask them to do so and secondly pay then to do so.
Not at all, wouldn't even attempt it. All I did was push for new designs. Well, we got new designs alright :rolleyes:
Ruben it doesn't matter if the ASE weighs 1% more or 1% less than the spec weight - it still cost the same when you buy it or you sell it. Every...
Why ? I did it virtually by myself. It all started out as a dare actually on the old Coin World forum. Just like here on this forum, people were...
Ruben, if you expect the governments of the world to come out and say in print that they are manipulating the commodities markets you are living...
When you are ready, let me know. I have a virtual mountain of information squirreled away ;) Would be more than happy to share it all.
