Only informally, but that's one of the issues I always bring up when someone says "buy the key coins first before they go up in price". Sure,...
No, and that (allowing inflation adjustment when calculating capital gains) is something people have been lobbying for since at least the first...
Wait, what? FOUR HUNDRED WATTS of X-RAYS? I'd expect the acetone to evaporate in more like 18 seconds. Followed after a short time by the copper....
Picture is over-compressed, so it's hard to tell what I'm seeing at all, but it looks like environmental damage. Something got stuck on the coin,...
They would probably say we're the ones who are mentally defective, letting other people's rules control us.
I have low confidence judging $3 gold, but I have complete confidence that that coin isn't gradable. Problem coins bring much lower prices than...
It may well go higher in the last few seconds as snipes come in. Most collectors are probably reluctant to buy a $3 raw from blurry photos. Even...

Agree that it's fake. Worth noting, though, that at least they got the barcode right on this one -- it scans as the same number that's printed on...
I agree with @Beefer518's post about photo difficulties. If this were eBay, I'd want to look at the seller's other listings of dimes. If all the...
Only two of the best dates in the series, and in XF-AU condition, maybe better for the 1909-S -- but with green spots of verdigris. :( There once...

Because they're so closely related, they got similar names, back before names were systematic (constructed according to well-specified rules)....
I've seen reports of a bank offering $105 for $100 worth of change. I don't think it's common at the moment.
Those pictures aren't (just) out of focus, they're over-compressed. Hard to say anything just on their basis.
I'm with @l.cutler and @John Burgess -- I see a lot of wheat cents, a common Indian cent, and an 1868 Indian cent. I don't have time to squint at...
Pro: it would be a lot easier for you to carry off. Con: it would be a lot easier for someone else to carry off.
Oh, hi. Hey, weren't we supposed to be calling you platinumcollector as of last July?...
Heck no! Or if they do, it's not the same alloy used in cents.
When I saw this design a year or so ago, my first thought was "...but why is Lady Liberty's head exploding?" From the perspective of 2020, at...
Separate names with a comma.
