No, I would not. The easiest way is to take the coin to a jewelry shop and have it weighed. If the weight is correct, and rings like you said in...
For that matter the dealers will disregard the grade on a slab and grade it themselves. Selling a slabbed coin vs a raw coin is only of...
It makes sense to me. Numismaaster probably figures that it is better for NGC to be paying them something, than it is to have very few paying them...
I agree with Lange.
If it doesn't ring then I'd say it is not silver. I have never known the "ring" test to fail. Post some pictures of this item, maybe we can...
Until the advent of the Satin finish Mint Sets the information I related below was posted on the Mint's web site. No, and neither can anyone...
This thread should answer most of your questions - http://www.cointalk.com/t58435/

Used to have, but thanks. Germany was not one of my specialties thus only the few pieces. I bought those pieces because of their scarcity and...
It seems that a lot of members misunderstand the rules regarding this. Your note Chris, that it is not SPAM, is not even needed. Members are...
Same story was posted about last night.
Guys - it's a long dead idea. This thread is from 2003 !
You should pay attention to post #2 ! Interesting but invalid logic. If you like having more coins you can buy a $1000 bag of Walkers for not...
The original question in this thread was asked over 5 years ago, but apparently people still don't understand the reason. It's simple - there is a...
Nobody disagrees with you - except for the guy who sold the coin.
I stand corrected. But doesn't matter. What I said about the copper edge not showing because of the alloy is correct.
Not at all, that's why it's weird. Think about this - a nickel is made of 25% nickel and 75% copper. It's a solid alloy. But what part of a...
