There's an interesting thing about science and scientists, all too often they end up having to admit that what they thought was true, wasn't true...
If you see any that look like this ric - http://coinquest.com/cgi-data/cq_ro/response_380/us_silver_eagle_1906_fake.jpg - you don't want to buy...
Well I imagine it would be fun Charmy @The Penny Lady® what with all the wine they bring ya :D
Hmmm, thought I said the same thing. The coins are listed as being pure gold. Now if you want to argue that .99 or .999 or .9999 isn't pure...
You really think that's an honest comparison ? When the gold and copper are melted to mix together and form the alloy, that's all that happens,...
And then you also have all of the private individuals, who are absolutely certain that their coins "should" grade higher than they actually end up...
For the sake of clarity - say you bought 2 coins and then later sold them. On coin 1 you lost $500, but on coin 2 you made $500. You can use the...
By your own words, and math, the copper is only on 25% of the surface of the coin. And yeah, I agree it can be uniformly distributed. But that...
OK guys I'll give it to you - you're right. But even so only about 1/4 of the surface area is copper. That means the other 75% of the surface area...
Yes it can, provided there is enough of it. But melting is a result of heat, and there is not enough heat generated by the striking of a coin to...
If I may ask, this briefcase, do you store coins in it ? And if you do, what is this briefcase made of ? And not just the outer material, but the...
Coins begin toning the instant they are struck because they are exposed to the air. So in simplest terms all toning depends on what is in the air....
Quite often it is because they see, or know, something you do not.

Yes. Yes, and no. There are plenty of AT coins in TPG slabs, some of them ASEs. Coins have even been artificially toned while they were in the...
Doesn't matter really. The coins are always machined, usually with one fitting inside the other, thus leaving the edge the same as it was...
Think about what you are asking. How could it be possible for the molecules of one metal to do something that the molecules of another metal,...
Uhhhh, no it does not. The metal flows because of pressure exerted upon it, not heat produced by the act of it being struck. But your question of...
Something to think about. Let's imagine that this is a cross section of the coin. _________________ _________________ Now imagine that when a...
Oh I'm well aware of it, use it rather often actually. In fact if you go here - https://www.cointalk.com/threads/introduction.13961/ - you'll...
