Better to pay $65 for a $30 coin than $65,000 for a counterfeit. Mistakes teach you, so its best to keep your mistakes cheap.
Yeah, Littlleton reels them in with an initial small, good deal, then cleans up on "Approval" at high prices
Yes, we know, because we are specialists. But the great majority do not know, and are preyed on. That does damage to our hobby, and to us as...
I especially like the gold plated crap. For whatever reason, you could gold plate a dog turd and people would buy it.
Could always check Ebay to see what prices are current. Mine is missing only about 5. There is no spot for a 1955 DD.
It says "lightly cleaned" in the text, and hairlines are noticeable under magnification.
Good advice here. You could probably sell them over time on Ebay, by the roll, advertising the potential of finding ultra high grade errors, or...
So far as the hyper expensive coins, you can usually find them as legal copies from various mints. They look like the originals, fit the holes,...

Yes, I have seen them for sale on EBay. Copper cents and wheats. Years ago, I got a $50 bag of 5000 wheats for $75. They are in the hundreds now....
Frankly, given whats available, I am surprised the fakes are even detectable anymore. Long ago, Hallmark brought out a new series of Christmas...
I have always been curious about cleaning methods. Primarily for old copper. I don't mind the chocolate or steel coloring, but many seem to have...
I would start with Jeff nickels. Its HARD to find wheats in circulation, even commonest dates, and there are quite a few high priced rarities. You...
Kirk, ever considered a career as a baseball umpire? Hehe, make good use of those eagle eyes! Endeavor is right. That bunch looks like a bunch of...
I want it to complete my dime set, and as a single dad, with 3 kids, on a disability, I cannot afford it. My collection goes to my kids when I'm gone.

If it had been me who was so ridiculously stupid, I would have stipulated that they could disclose the amount of the settlement, but NOT the...
