Yea, it was more of just an theoretical idea. Makes you wonder though if anything could (is) happening with that little fraction of precious metal...
Well, the silver eagles weigh 31.101 grams. And they're made of 99.93% silver, and 0.07% copper, right? So, taking the 31.101 and multiplying it...
Should have my 6 waiting for me at a Canadian address by now. Will probably be another six weeks before I'm back up there to grab them. By that...
Was sitting around today, daydreaming about silver and I stumbled upon an interesting fact: -A monster box (500- 1 Troy oz. Coins) of Canadian...
I predict silver will dip below $30/oz in the last week of March, 2012.
Mystery Solved. Today I took the coin to two different coin shops in the Philadelphia area and showed the coin to two knowledgeable people there...
Well, it looks like silver, and sounds like silver... Seems like it wouldn't make a lot of sense to make a counterfeit copy of a coin in silver,...
I agree. That was just one theory they had for the loonie, which is plated. It had one larger bubble under part of the design. Looked similar....
Wouldn't it be impossible for the 'U' to be stamped on top of a cud? I thought cuds were, by their nature, blank(?). Isn't a cud caused by an...
Cud? I looked into the die break theory. Basically a piece of the die mold breaks, then when the coin is cast, the molten metal flows into the...
I don't need the quarters. I tried the code geodec11, and it didn't work. Even with another half ounce coin added to bring the total over $70, and...
Each one is .9999% silver and weighs 7.96 grams. So, as of Jan 31st, 2012- $8.49 worth of silver. Or $20 face value!
Loadin' up.. Order complete! Bought 3 and had my gf buy 3. So 6 coins bought and shipped to address in Ontario for under $127. Not bad...
Well, I looked into the die-break theory. It's supposed to make a 'blob' on the coin, of which the larger ones are called cuds. Here's one of the...
One of a Kind. I was pretty certain it was legit. -(was purchased in Cuba) But I really want to know the mystery behind the discrepancy. Haven't...
I had tried the geodec11 code the other day, but it had no effect. Does the order have to be over $70 to work. And will that code work for...
Close-ups. OK, here's a couple close-up pics of the area in question, as well as a reverse shot of the same coin. -A 20 centavos Cuban coin from...
Yea, the shipping to US, is pretty brutal. Luckily I have family in Canada, and I get up there every couple months. Think I might get my...
I'm thinking of buying a few of these silver Polar Bear coins that came out the other day. (a few because there's a 3/household limit)...
Star Sorry, the upper coin is a seprate 10 centavos. (1948). The 20 centavos is the bottom one, and is a 1949. Will try and post a closeup pic of...
