Much the same thing they do now when someone buys 3.22 lb of ground beef at $3.99/lb. They will round, up or down according to the nearest...
Man, I'm trying to imagine finding the entire 20th-century run of Barber dimes in circulation.
Too long. It was already trivial and pointless in the 1980s when it went over to the time-release self-destruct composition. Please put it out of...
English spelling is a terrible waste of human potential. If you've got the grammar and spelling knack, bully for you. If you don't, the very idea...
Username checks out...
Doesn't look like it, unless he's moved. So, two such collectors -- and you know what THAT means: BIDDING WAR! ;)
That "silk lining" looks stained. I wonder if the whole thing got wet. I'm a bit surprised the reverse is untouched, but I can believe it -- it...
And the "correction" is wrong, to boot. :rolleyes:
Yep, depends. I see the 20% figure bandied around a lot, but I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone willing to sell a slabbed details coin for 80%...

In my opinion, grade gamesmanship is one way the hobby is moving away from pure, childlike enthusiasm and fascination. But I agree that it's to...
Wandered by the CoinStar at Harris-Teeter early this afternoon, and there was a double scoop in the reject bin. A big pile of mostly copper...
The most boring possible four-figure coin: a one-ounce American Gold Eagle for $1700, at a point when gold had "dipped" down to just that level....
The finish looks different when a coin has been electroplated. It's really easy to tell once you know what to look for.
Oh, please, no. Metalworkers who pickle metal aren't trying to preserve the original finish of the metal. They want it to be free of...

One big PayPal crypto catch: you can't accept crypto as crypto into your balance, nor spend it that way. You have to put in or take out fiat, and...
Redwin? Is that you? (Probably not, since the seller's asking under a million...)
