You had a little sympathy from me until I read these comments. When I go to the store to buy something, I pay what is on the price tag (and...
What does this mean? At what risk? EBay won't do anything if someone tries to sell the Brooklyn Bridge on their auction site - what are they...
As far as I knew, the Monticello thing was put into law by the Virginia pork barrel Congressman. I was not aware that Jefferson had to stay on...
Heck, I would still do it if there were a market for little pieces of clad metal.
DidnÄt they also make the war tiem coins in pure aluminum? I think Iahve some of each variety.

After reading all the posts and reviewing the pic, I agree it is a weak strike, not wear. Imagine what the minting process involves - a flat...
Be careful, most authentic cash coins were cast.
Great story and happy ending (for the good gus), but notice the lack of mention of eBay's participation. Maybe they were involved to some extent,...
These don't have much value inder the best of circumstances, but yours looks a bit worse for wear.
To be honest, neither do I. And, solder typicylly tarnishes darker than CN.
Actually, I saw a coin from somewhere in Europe that had been „waffled“ (not comparable to modern waffling, but similar concept), and it was done...
