Tucked into the "rub vs. wear, as seen by PCGS and Trueview" memory file. Thanks again!
"a coin's reason"?
It doesn't yell "fake" at me, but that reverse weakness on the left and the odd obverse denticles worry me. I've never handled a Seated quarter in...
Running a toning experiment, are we? :rolleyes:
We won't be able to help much without clear photos, but it's most likely that the copper plating got scraped off around your coin's rim, exposing...
You forgot to activate the sun on your phone. :)
Can't really confuse it with other things I've never had. :( Doesn't stop me from hoping I can try it one day, though!
Yeah, pick their brains, blow your nose. NOT the other way around.
"Interesting", indeed. Hello, CAC?
Yeah, tools. Like microscopes. I've got the student microscope sort of "on display" in the foyer (that's where it landed), three or four surplus...
I'd go 53 on what I can see of high-point wear, but I'm concerned about how much luster is gone, and the halos around the devices. I'm not 100%...
Hey, I'm a recovering hoarder. Of course, recovery is a bumpy path. Meanwhile, at least coins are more compact than (say) books, or tools, or...

Now, that's a can of worms. If the site starts trying to enforce buy/sell behavior, there's some risk someone could sue them for their actions or...
Thing is, people have been saying this for years, first at $25 silver, then $20 silver, then $16, $15, $14... at some point, they'll be right, but...
Never that, but then again I've sold only a handful of items in the last few years. Back when I was a heavier seller, LOTS of things were...
It's odd to think of him hanging on to silver, of all things, isn't it? I suppose he just wouldn't feel right saddling you with such a worthless...
It wasn't Morgan but Barber who designed that coin. It's a five-cent piece, 1891 (I think), commonly known as a "V nickel" because of the reverse...
I can imagine that the interior 80% copper, 20% silver alloy would look like this if untarnished. That's an amazing find!
