Because he has a buddy who is into coins.
It looks better. Perhaps remove and rinse with distilled water, (air or lightly pat dry) and put it in a new container with some fresh xylene. I...
Silly to put Wide AM either on the label or the website, since they are all Wide AM. Now if you found a 1988 Close AM then you have something. If...
Look at the photo in post #4. Copper is not very hard, and when it gets put into one of those things, the metal moves a little. And it takes the...
The problem with books these days is the internet. Once these prices are published, they are obsolete the day before the book comes out. Since you...
It still has silver value. Someone was just trying out some tin snips or something. If it shows up on YT or Etsy for $10,000 rare mint error, then...

There's no such thing as a possible radar. It is, or it isn't. There's no gray area on this.
I hit one good spot. Most of my good spots were beat today. Yesterday's ring saved the hunt. [ATTACH]

Some kind of dip could remove it, or could damage it. "I been here 6 years and you hang my stuff in a bag on skid row?" "Hey Mick how come I been...
Even though it's 80 years old, they made 120 million of them. The 39-D and 39-S are very good coins, but the Philly is basically a nickel when it...
Could have been cleaned before you got them. As for the oil, which was a common practice, I don't think that applying such a substance today is...
Not seeing any die breaks which is a raised line, because the crack in the die gets reversed on the coin.
Unless there's a super rare date, I wouldn't go over $60. Basically 20 each for the big 3 and the Barber dime a throw in at 1.50 for free. If this...
The first one appears damaged (scratched) and oily. The 2nd one looks better but I would be suspicious. Pretty sure they have been cleaned at some...
Silver ring in one of my locked spots that was half open. There are 2 sections there. I got a really good signal on the ring, so I figured it was...
Separate names with a comma.
