If you buy from Mark directly...instead of, let's say, amazon.com, he will send you an autographed copy. I highly recommend his book. I bought...
You need the special counterfeit coin detection magnet with the enhanced felt tip, available at Amazon for $119.95. It's guaranteed to be...
Thanks again for the help on that fake 1804, Conder. "PCGS" is a typo in the post above, correct? You mean NGC. Lance.
How can you tell? Did you compare it to a real one? Lance.
If you must dip don't use a home remedy. Jeweluster, now called eZest, is cheap and plentiful. I agree with LindeDad. The results are likely...
Some random stuff. Lance. [IMG][IMG] [IMG][IMG] [IMG][IMG]
Looks genuine to me. Is there something that raises your suspicions? Aside from a very lucky find? You might weigh it and give it the magnet test....
That's my attitude too, Matt. I paid 2x price guide for that 1911 and I've never regretted it for a moment. The money's long gone but I still...

I would not recommend jumping into anything like early gold based on three years of collecting moderns. If I were you I'd spend a bit of money on...
Doug, I was only asking about the tax law, not what any of us has done and not had questioned. What are the regs? Businesses write off gains...
Yeah, the unfortunate scar on the neck bothered me. Okay, it's a 63 and there will be issues like that. I spent a long time trying to find a nice...
Sorry...just having a little fun with that '64-D Peace dollar. Here's a real counterfeit (hey, that's an oxymoron). Lance. [IMG][IMG]
Is this one counterfeit? ;) Lance. [IMG][IMG]
They are beautiful coins. I got discouraged trying to find the right ones for upgrades, after I had built the initial full set. Peace dollars are...
Having done it doesn't make it legal, of course. So, what are the rules? I have never looked into it. But I remember reading that you can't...
Numismedia can guide you but your valuation should be considerably lower. Numismedia provides an estimate of the retail value for NGC-graded...
It's not worth slabbing, as Mark says. It's a neat old coin in spite of the fact that there a many like it. Enjoy it like it is. Lance.
Relax. Most of us don't have gains to worry about. If you have, then GA doesn't care. The Feds do. You are legally obligated to report it. It may...
Collecting raw coins is fun. The problem is there's a lot of junk out there and unless you know what you're doing and see these coins in hand you...
