Congrats! Thanks to you, Rob, for the contest!
What they said. By the way, if I owned a coin I even remotely thought might have any value above face, I would never touch it with anything like...
The problem with both "ping" and magnet tests is they only test the metal, which is fine if we are suspecting a contemporary counterfeit that only...
Only today they don't let that stop them from producing. Apparently they were wiser then than now.

Not that I have that kind of money to put into PM, but rhodium can be both bought and sold through Kitco in both bars and "sponge." There is a...
What I see in this thread is a difference in definitions of what constitutes "doubling" and what constitutes "collectible." I definitely see the...
Condolences to his family and all who loved him.
