There's a headline on Coinflation this evening that reads "Precious Metals Moving Closer to Bottom?" Seems to me that if they're going down,...
Never mind counterfeits, here's an example of the kind of auction I've mentioned once or twice before: Lot of 4 - 2010 $50 American Gold Buffalo...
Dunno. It does seem like they'd eventually decide to add some level of filtering for "nuisance reporters". It's also pretty certain that they...
Huh. Good catch! I'll try to remember that path. From all I've heard, the Copyright Police are always much more aggressive (and better-funded)...
Yep, and it continues to have about as much effect as the "close doors" button on an elevator. Once upon a time, the "report item" form had a...
"Trust us, it's accurate. And if you don't trust us, and try to test it, you'll probably ruin it". I don't know about you, but that doesn't...
It's stretching things at this photo size/resolution, but I can almost imagine that that feature along the top of the D is a remnant from the...

No, it had 26 bids, not 26 bidders. Big difference. I count 6 distinct bidders. Once it got past $83, it was just two bidders in the battle....
It shows some nice detail, but those pits all over the place pretty much ruin it. :( Was this a bag from a bank, or somewhere else, if you don't...
And if you set your shipping "and handling" fee to cover "the cost of your time", but then you get caught in a traffic jam on the way to the post...
That's actually one of the definitions of "acid". Also, when it's not in water (or at least hydrated), it's a fairly strong Lewis acid, but that's...
Well, but ferric chloride (the active ingredient in Nic-a-date) is an acid, and also an oxidant. That's how it can attack copper, which isn't...
I'm no expert, but that reverse looks scrubbed to me, especially near "ICA". Maybe I'm wrong, but my first reaction to those pictures would be "no...
Furthermore, it virtually guarantees that eventually every slabbed or beaned coin will be overgraded. 1. If it's undergraded, sooner or later...
Just saw an article a month or two ago about this business model in India; apparently, it's quite big there, with many women who have a lot of...
