As usual, a dazzling piece. Keep 'em coming! Thanks!
I collect Eisenhower dollars, among other things. High grade proof (PR68)silver Ikes are currently selling at considerably less than $50 on...
I'm probably missing something, but it looks like someone took something like a blunt pointed metal punch and bopped George's chin with it to make...
I have taken uncut currency sheets and cut them up, only I cut intentionally with some kind of gross misalignment. Really causes a stir at...
I have one last straw to grasp at. It could be that someone ground off the obverse of one Ike dollar and the reverse of another and stuck the two...
OK. With the weight confirmed at about 7 grams too heavy, and it looks real to me except for the color, I'm stumped. Sorry. I vote unknown.
I collect fakes. If it turns out to be a fake, that would be cool, too. If you take an Ike dollar and cook it in the oven at 425 degrees for...
Cool! Sounds like you have the beginnings of a couple different collections. The Walking Liberty halves are neat and can be expensive to...
I started collecting when I was 6 years old, almost 50 years ago. Got a bunch of old Indian Head pennies and polished them up real bright with an...
I believe the coin is real, though a better picture would help confirm that. The golden patina can be produced a number of ways and all are by...
The weight really has me stumped. Do you have another Ike dollar you could weigh and see if the weights match? You mentioned a balance scale....
I tinkered with the image a little and came up with this. Looks like a brass belt buckle?? Military insignia on a hat, sword scabbard, something...
Excellent, as usual. Thanks for the look!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3966967641 I'm selling my video arcade token collection. I collected from 1982 - 1995. Now...
Bye, Ed. I'm a relative newcomer to this forum and haven't always agreed with you but I've always enjoyed reading your posts. You seem to bring...
Could have been coated with mercury. That will tarnish to a grungy gold color. Does it feel a little slimy?
I'm thinking a carving on a clad coin, like an Ike dollar, might be interesting. How would it look to have a 'cameo' effect, with the raised...
It's good to have a deep appreciation of numismatics. You'll probably be a lifetime collector and maybe make significant contributions to the...
Bill, Great job, as always. Thanks for sharing! You are creating a legacy of folk art that collectors today and many generations down the...
Sounds like this seller got hacked. There are 'spoof' emails being sent out to folks making it look like EBay or someone else urgently needs to...
Separate names with a comma.
