I dunno Christian, it is estimated that 90% of the currency in use in Ecuador is US currency, coins and bills. Back in 2002, if memory serves,...
I don't care, but based on your questions it appeared you did. And unless I misunderstood, it seemed you wondered why spammers came here. I was...
The bottom line is this, anybody that really has the experience knows that as a general rule you can get better deals at coin shows. That's what...
OK, now go ahead and do whatever you did to other coin forums you can find, and then compare those numbers to CT. Then I think you'll see why the...
Looks like ordinary toning that has been partially removed by dipping to me. As for what Tom sees, I looked at it, but it just looks like contact...
At one time Amazon sold more coins than ebay did, but that was 15 years ago. And as far as I know they never stopped selling coins. But over time,...
No idea, never cared. It varies from day to day though that much I know. But t's easy enough for you to check yourself since the total post count...

Click on the OPS's link, then use the + sign to blow the picture up to full size - it'll fill your screen. Then look at the D and the mark. The D,...

Also bear in mind that $16 is only for modern coins. It is not uncommon for it to cost $40 or more, per coin, to have them graded.
No they do not.
Like JP said, any good hard plastic coin holder will protect your coins every bit as well as a slab will, and they are a whole lot cheaper.
PCGS and NGC both list the plus grades separately within the given group just like they do with any other designation.
Opinions on whether one should haggle or not will vary. But from standing there watching a thousand dealers over the years at coin shows, not a...
I never doubted for a second that Peter gave you permission to post this Josh. I was merely pointing that what you are doing is not something that...
I sometimes ban over 100 spammers and maybe 2 dozen IP addresses in a single day. Swear I did over 200 one day ! Don't have to do that every day...
I agree with Matt, the coin looks like a cast fake to me. No idea what the extra mark is from or what it might mean. And for whatever it's worth,...
Separate names with a comma.
