Not sure what the "scam" is -- he's clearly stating what he'll offer, and people are free to take him up on it, ignore him, or point and laugh....
pH down is acid. It should work.
Sure, I can see that, too. It just seems like a dealer would have resources to land Peace dollars at lower prices than this. Maybe he figured he'd...
Thanks for the link! I bought one similar to this, and thought I was getting a good deal because it went up to 300g; most only went to 200g. The...
A dealer at last weekend's show was selling them at $12.50 each. I picked a borderline good 1918-D and S; the later, more common dates ranged up...
Thanks for the discussion, everyone. As an occasional eBay gambler, I really value this insight into the decision processes of pros.
I hope it's not a Harco Coinmaster. I got a bunch of coins Coinmasters as part of a lot I bought long ago, and when I opened them, the...
Oh, definitely. I think Low Country is probably the biggest name I ever see there; dealers come down from VA and up from SC, but I think not a lot...
The problem with rubidium rounds is that they tone really, really, REALLY fast. :)
If you're buying circulated common-date coins, mainly for silver value, I'd think a simple weight-and-dimension check would suffice. I've only had...
Oh, how adorable. Someone who still believes that TVs don't have microphones hidden inside. :rolleyes:
To the contrary, I'd say this is exactly the sort of thing that's best bought on eBay. Buyer Protection has your back, and with a bit of patience...
That's a shame -- that would've been a good $200 worth of coins before the polisher got to them. But, yeah, still pretty, and I'd sure grab those...
That's a compound, not a metal. It's the nitrogen that fulminates; the gold just keeps it loosely tethered until it gets enough of a thump.
You can already buy all the lead rounds you want, although prices have been going up, and there's sometimes a slight risk of premature delivery to...
Well, this was a very small dealer, I think. Turns out that I apparently sold a few coins I'd intended to hang on to -- XF-AU examples to fill...
Sponge is a porous mass. You often get it by making an alloy, then using an acid or other chemical to dissolve one component of the alloy; what's...
Well, so will magnesium. In powder form, lots of metals have different personalities -- you can prepare aluminum, iron, titanium, even nickel in...
Well, I sold a few rolls of Roosevelts and Mercury dimes at the weekend coin show at 22.3x face, and just now I picked up a lot of 100 silver...
Well, it might be a rules violation if there were a link. I don't see one in the post, the sig, or the profile. Of course, that leads me wondering...
