Re: The darker side of gold mining
Not just Brazil, Guyana has a lot of illegal mining as well. I think there was a gold rush episode where the Hoffmans were down there and illegal Chinese miners had stripped their claim.
Re: Best way to pay for coin off of bst
If the seller doesn't accept Paypal Goods & Services, I move on (unless it's a business, or a trusted member). The free payment methods make it easy for the recipient to disappear once payment has been received. With G&S, it's about 3%, but at least both the buyer and seller have some protections.

This may very well be my favorite thread on any Internet Forum!
P.S. received my huge Hero Diamond Shell order from Shellz yesterday 
Looking forward to displaying some of my late 60-early 70s Topps non-sports test issues on rotating basis in my home office.
Re: Counterfeit Washington Quarters Mixed with 90%
Mix 4 in a legitimate roll and there's an extra $22 profit to the seller. Many people probably wouldn't even bother to check. However, those are very crude and would be easy to spot. Check his feedback to make sure he is not doing this to others. THKS!
Counterfeit Washington Quarters Mixed with 90%
I recently purchased a roll of 90% quarters on eBay. These four counterfeit quarters were in the roll.
In addition to being crude, the head on the 1941 is too small and the head on the 1952 is too big. The reverses are all lacking detail. They all weighed less than 6 grams instead of 6.25g. The 1941 has a massive fin on the rim. None of the coins are magnetic.
I don't own a Sigma machine; however, I do own a number of Minelab metal detectors for hobby use. None of the coins gave the signal of a silver quarter on my favorite Minelab Etrac. Instead, they all gave a signal comparable to a Lincoln cent.
The seller said that he had owned the coins for approximately seven years. He also thought that nobody would bother to counterfeit a Washington quarter.
Re: Counterfeit Washington Quarters Mixed with 90%
Is the seller offering any compensation for the duds?
