It stopped being enforced by those coining and issuing money, and started tracking supply, demand, and production cost?
It means people with time on their hands can find no end of patterns, mysteries, hints and clues -- in anything. Or they can take the perfectly...
If there's "shine" there, it's from being rubbed or polished -- that coin looks to be VG or so, and there's no way any luster would survive that...
This is where I bookmark a thread that's suddenly got ten pounds of good info in a five-pound sack...
Wait, did you just say you have an XRF analyzer, my new and very good friend? :woot: (J/K, I'm on the wrong side of the country to take advantage...
I hope the YouTube server farms are ready for the increased load... :rolleyes:
Come again? Tarnish, damage, or even circulation doesn't turn a proof into a non-proof.
Or at least we think they did. If they don't cite their sources, we can't check it ourselves. We can trust that they didn't get some of the...
You can already do it, albeit by hand. Start with a BIN listing, and just cut the price at intervals. If my email from eBay is any indication,...

Yep. And those must be stated somewhere. But so far, the only citations I can find are to... Coin World Almanac. :rolleyes: Hey, if we got Coin...
And hope you don't get too many slugs as a result. I don't think most machines come with "silver yes/no" knobs, and the more you widen the...
Welcome to CoinTalk, but... 1) It's not a silver dollar. At least, not a real one. 2) It's almost certainly not 90% silver. 3) Trade dollars were...
Yes, I'd found that section of the Code, but note that it does not address weight tolerance for any of the coins. (Oddly, it does address the...
That book has been cited here in the past. Does the book say where it got these figures? It seems like the sort of thing that should be published...
I don't see how that casts all Make Offer listings into doubt. You've certainly got to know what you're shopping for, and what price to expect. I...
