Just for the sake of clarity, because calling them "sacrificial cents" could be misunderstood by some, the cents don't actually protect coins in...
Hmmm, a little big for bait maybe, but I suppose it would work in a pinch :D
Well, yes. But it doesn't have anything to do with the coins. It is purely because of far more lenient grading standards.
My best coin show experience ? It's happened a few times actually. I always think my best experiences were when I ran out of money to buy more...
Chris, you got it backwards buddy, copper is more reactive than silver.
I'd say you're in the neighborhood anyway though I woulda said $300-$350. Venetian ducats can vary depending on Doge, condition, and specific...
Good question because I've posted that link many times. Guess you just missed it.
Enough !
I think you have to do a better job of defining exactly what coins you are talking about. I mean you get a different outcome if you're talking...
Yeah, if you want to call for over a 100 years at one stage.
Ya know what, every single one of you has an ignore button. Why don't you use it ? Or if you prefer every time somebody does something I don't...
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...

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...
