That's the worst. So many shows now are staged. And yet they're still called "reality" shows. And they end up on channels like TruTV, which...
That was going to be my guess as well, but I wanted to defer to the more trained eyes here. :) Thanks everyone.
Ugh... Just yesterday I was thinking that I should start to venture outside my comfort zone of Lincolns, Buffs, and Indian Heads, and maybe try to...
Seems like there's a lot of that going around. Just look at eBay. People sometimes price things at the value they believe the coin should have,...
Been working on my coin photography skills today. So let's try one more... [ATTACH]
Been practicing coin photography today. Think I'm finally getting the hang of it. Picked these up in an eBay roll purchase. Between these and...

Tried this shot with my iPhone instead of the regular camera. Not much better, but maybe it helps a little...
[ATTACH] I can't tell. The "S" on these things is so small. Sorry about the photo as well. I tried a few different lenses. I'm no photographer...

This was an old random eBay purchase from about 10 years ago. I know nothing about this type of coin, it's value, it's authenticity, etc. It just...
The date on it says August 14, 1969 but I'm guessing that's just a commemorative date for the current mint building opening. Is this some sort of...
Thanks for the information everyone. Doug especially. The comment that has sunk in the most was your 3rd paragraph above. It's true, I often...
How can someone increase profits if cleaning is largely considered to be a negative? I guess that's sort of where I was going with this. If...
My layperson thought is that "original" would mean shiny and new. As close to the original condition as possible. Meaning, minus grime. I know...
It looks different where it was cleaned. Personally I think it looks better. But what I don't understand is how that's a bad thing. Does the...
I've been searching around and cant seem to find a clear answer to this... I'm a rookie collector, which I guess is obvious from the fact that...
Haha.. nope. But they look like it, don't they. I just picked them out of circulation, pocket change. So I didn't pay more than a penny for either...
