Uh-oh -- wasn't issuing coins denominated in dollars what sunk von Nothaus? I understand Carr's arguments for producing overstruck fantasy coins...
That actually looks precisely like one half of a magician's coin. It's just missing the inset for the other face.
It sounds like the first step in making a magician's (two-headed) coin. You mill one coin out like the one you have, then mill the revers and edge...
It's understandable to miss the Type 3, because it doesn't appear nearly as often as Type 1/Type 2. For a 1917 SLQ, or a 1913 Buffalo nickel, you...
I never did buy from them, but I certainly watched their eBay activity with dismay for a number of years. It's an interesting contrast to THR,...
So, since there have been political abuses at the IRS, any action by any government law-enforcement agency is presumed to be corrupt? Sorry, but I...
Or maybe the various law enforcement organizations are, you know, enforcing the law. I obviously don't know the specifics of this case. However,...

First, I think the set that went on sale Thursday was not the "new" design, right? Second, I think that article's author was confused. It talks...
You know, though, the more collectors I hear saying "who in the world would want one of those", the more I start wondering about a sleeper in the...
Hah. So it's not only a first for PCGS, it's another data point in the "ANACS overgrades" debate. :)
Isn't it cool to be a pioneer? :)
Kicking them off eBay is going to hurt eBay. They were a huge seller; small in relation to eBay's total bottom line, I'm sure, but not the kind of...
They're the ones. The Abon.com guy has protested that SGS is entirely independent of Abon.com, but given that SGS's Web site is registered under...
Sorry for dredging up a dead thread, but I just really felt like providing closure here as well. :) Abon coins busted (must read)
Kinda looks like eBay thought the same thing, emphatically enough to pull the plug on a 15-year seller with 200K+ feedback, and incredible FVF volume.
:eek: [ATTACH] That's... that's by far the biggest takedown I've seen yet on the 'Bay. Wow.
Wow, the comments on that article are pretty vicious. Sounds like they didn't make a lot of local friends, either. Say, I wonder if this means...
Ah, I just assumed they shot with the wrong white balance. Yeah, I can see this as a clumsily gold-plated genuine specimen. As @desertgem said, it...
Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of folks. That said, after reading the article, I'm confused about whether they're knowingly fencing stuff, or...
Separate names with a comma.
