To be fair, that's been happening since we started lazily writing things down and then reading them, instead of MEMORIZING them like the ancestors...
Gorgeous CircCam! Congrats!
It's a shame spreadsheet programs don't understand how to sort by letter grade.
A business strike 1878-P? There's another counterfeiter who wasn't paying attention.
Clearly, the dealer didn't photograph it and inspect the blown-up photo. :)
This. Dealers have to make money. It's not reasonable to expect their buying and selling prices to be the same. Having said that, dealers at...
For a number of years I had good luck buying under-priced lots on eBay and selling the stuff at local shows. People are (almost) always buying...
I'd like to see: 1) Someone ask the same questions again in a fresh session, and see whether the same wrong answers appear. 2) Someone correct...
One big question: do those corrections automatically become part of the knowledge base, so that the next time a different person asks a similar...
By which I assume you mean "above face value or melt value". I bought a lot of metal-detected and wire-brushed Mercs a few years back. Most were...

From time to time I could swear I see these going for less of a premium than circulated 90% dimes/quarters. I assume that you get less for them...
The big bars are harder to sell, though, aren't they? There's more risk of a fake or tampered bar, and people make lower offers as a result. And...
I have no simple answer, but here's another data point: [IMG] I documented this coin's saga in a previous thread. PCGS says an 1878-P in PR45...
Did you give them the devil about lying that you fed the machine "pennies" instead of "cents"? ;)
OK, this is a first -- everybody's seen photos of 1923 dollars where the 3 looked like an 8, but I mistook the 3 for an 8 in your thread title in...
