In other words, they committed credit card fraud in order to steal the property of the seller. Other than the amount stolen, how is this any...
I will never understand why COLLECTORS complain so much about flat/falling prices. Just means your hobby dollars go further. I would have no...
Real. It's a worn example of the Overton 110 die marriage.
Anything put out by the mint strictly for the collector/investor market--regardless of design. This includes (but isn't limited to) proofs,...
I don't know that it is related, but Heritage was down most of the weekend as well due to a malware attack. From Stewart Huckaby of Heritage......
No, I would much rather that the mint get out of the collectibles market altogether and concentrate on doing their actual job...coining money for...
The Silver Dollar Expo that this is replacing has always been well worth one's time. Scotsman's is still running the auction.
Same as last year...and the year before...and the three decades before that. Same number that I will submit next year. I have, however,...
I've misplaced a few, but never actually lost one. I know that a 400.00 loss is painful, but doesn't compare to the story noted error specialist...
So how would you know that the "error" on which you did spend your money wasn't made intentionally? Note: I am not saying that mint workers do...
GoldFinger, just as a general heads-up...you might want to edit out your email address (unless you actually LIKE spam) and just ask people to PM...

Because at least two bidders realized the rarity of the die variety. This wasn't a retail type of coin. In the same type of auction today I...
And by then I really won’t give a crap. As for authentication, yes, I do recommend that most people do so with such a coin if unable to do so...
Price, and to answer your first question, no, I wouldn't have it certified. I don't buy for future resale purposes, so why spend the extra money.
Does not appear to be a fake. It is an example of the JR-4 die marriage for the year. Not my coin, but here is an example of one in better...
It will not have either of the experimental edges. All O-103s are the plain edge. For future reference... Here are the differing edges in the...
Reasonably nice looking. I might pay a small premium over spot--say 10%. Others would pay either no premium or they might pay more depending on...
This is an old-time AU-50 (which is what I suspect it was sold as back in the 70s era auction you reference.) Today it would go somewhere between...
