Well, there is one factor weighing against Zincolns taking over: their built-in self-destruct mechanism. A hundred years from now, "cents" won't...
And "LittletONO" is still possibly my favorite typo-squatting attempt of all time. :rolleyes:
Yeah, but new money drives old money out of circulation, too, if only by diluting it in the overall population. The composition of the five-cent...
I can't quite accept this. A freshly-minted coin is supposed to have a fresh metal surface -- which naturally oxidizes when exposed to the...
FOUR 1950-D's?!!?
And that's market acceptable? I admit that I'm not one of those who's kept watch on individual Morgans for a century or so to make sure there were...
What in the world? I didn't think the Π mint struck nickels in 1927...
"...I'll just be glad that cows don't fly!" *SPLAT* "Aw, man..."
I'm almost 60, it's been 50 years since I first became a chemistry geek, and I still have to bite back the "air's a chemical too" reflex. :rolleyes:
Now, THAT's a chair that's served with distinction!
Hmm... I wonder how old a counterfeit? That does kind of look like actual wear...
On the one hand, this sounds unpleasantly like the White Man's Burden. On the other hand, we have the Taliban and statues, as mentioned elsewhere...
I was just going to point out that Beanie Babies do have an intrinsic value -- as fuel. It's not very high. Edit: I wonder what their R-value...
No, paper wouldn't contain PVC. "Acid and lignin free" probably implies low sulfur, but I can't guarantee that, and sulfur is what you want to...
If you sold the lot on eBay for $800, you'd realize $800, minus 12.9% FVF (about $100), minus postage and packaging, with the risk of someone...
And that's why a big part of the marketing is convincing the marks that something unusual WILL happen, or is already happening.
There have. I've seen photos of those here, too. I also think someone posted either a screenshot of or a link to an Alibaba page selling then....
Years ago, someone started a thread here on CT where they were suspicious of a modern gold bullion coin, and broke it in half. It was genuine, IIRC.
And DO NOT be taken in by offers for "Troy Pounds" of coins or PMs. A troy pound is TWELVE troy ounces, so it's LESS than a standard pound, which...
Credit where credit is due -- they're genuinely cheap and poorly made. Not the fault of the Mint, of course, but those who represented...
Separate names with a comma.
