You can usually find write-ups of these fakes, as folks document them, by googling the serial number....
Yes it is
Where are you seeing the 1F listed as 0.500 silver? My catalog and Numista both list it as 0.835
Just some terminology... as mentioned previously, the images are copyrighted the moment you take them. You writing something on them is helpful to...
I'm not sure I've seen such an inclusive list before. It would be a huge effort to put it together. For my personal interest, I would prioritize a...
Seems like a decent bank policy. Saves the old lady depositing all her "old" coins from getting screwed if the teller knows what's happening.

Yep, and that fee is pretty similar to the fee on any credit card, but is easier to push to the buyer since it's more visible (to the buyer). I do...
GIMP has both an auto white balance adjustment, or of course you can manually adjust r/g/b values. I have not used it to read in raw image files...
Chris I like the images. If I had to come up with a tweak, I'd offer that the first two may have a bit more contrast than the actual coins. Of...
You've got the wrong definition of "uncirculated." Define the term to represent the physical state of the coin, its wear, damage etc. Whether it...
