Nice theory, but Ike proved in wrong a couple decades ago.
What do they say when you catch them? Do you think they are the forgers, or just innocent victims? Do you confiscate their fakes, or do you give...
I’ll help kick off the new thread with a general question, open to US or non-US members. Has anyone ever gotten a counterfeit banknote in...
Ok, the new section looks good. I think there will be some good stuff here. But....now we need a new name for the Forum.
??? I got my 1798 cent for about $8. It was 30 years ago, of course, but I don't think the price has gone up that much. The planchet is a touch...
Thanks for posting these links. They are a great source of info, and it is difficult to get this information if you do not know exactly where to...

I basically agree with NDS on this, but there are two things I would add. He DID get his coin for the $5 he paid in shipping. He DID know in...
This is an interesting subject for sure. I think part of the reason is the historically lower disposable income thing, since many collectors get...
Collectors who have this arttitude will sleep better at night. I have been on both sides, and you can drive yourself crazy when you srtart to see...
Or....ebay. If they are nicely packaged, sell them as a set. if not, break it up and sell them individually. I sold a GP Georgia quarter for a...
