At our local show, there are always at least two or three dealers with their silver buy prices posted on whiteboards. At Saturday's show, you...
I've gone through an awful lot of clad dimes (and quarters) in my life, and toned ones are something of a rarity. They're much more resistant to...
Ya know, if they'd gone with that design, I wouldn't be nearly so grumpy about the shift to dead Presidents and buildings. Still not as nice as...
All right, I hauled out the real camera, a makeshift stand, and a better light. I'm mostly happy with these shots -- they pretty accurately...
Well, after some more time with the camera and what lighting I have, I've reached the conclusion that this is one UGLY coin. But, again, 1872!...
Shop owner: Coin theft suspect caught on return This guy shows one of the most common cognitive flaws of criminals: he thinks he's pretty...
I wouldn't be so fast to block him. He may well be returning it exactly the way it was sent to him. I've received coins taped to paper before,...
Good news! I found a war nickel. Bad news! It sticks to a magnet. No silver. Won't even go through the CoinStar. Man, I thought I had a $1.50...
Yes, sometimes they print the label and then sit on it for a long time. But sometimes the PO botches their scanning, and you get the item while...
Funny thing is, their last coin lot -- a Morgan, a Peace, a Walker and a Barber half -- looked completely legit, although cleaned and/or polished...
I grabbed the images, and I'll try to remember to post them for future reference once the auction goes "poof".
OMG, it's the ultra-rare* "Micro-Head" VAM! *pop 0
Not the first time this has happened. I think silverprice.org gets its feed from kitco, or from the same place as kitco; it appears that...
Coinflation is showing POS at $31.31! Everyone else seems to be showing small gains ($28.90 or so). What the heck?
I've made a few big scores, although nothing like hartnessjr's deal or BQ's dimes. :) But most of them have been blind luck -- the time I found...
Well, apparently those listings on the 18th and 19th were just some sort of glitch -- 30 days expired today, apparently, and they're back with a...
Well, I've certainly done it in the opposite direction with stocks... :(
That makes sense, except that nobody else will do the same when they're buying from you. :(
Hmm... Numismedia lists an MS62BN 1909 at $15.60. Nicer than any of my cents, for sure, but is that really a "steal"?
On the other hand, according to the email bkozak33 posted, the seller is now lying outright to other bidders about the circumstances of this...
