Re: The Michael F. Hayes Barber Megathread
You've all heard of a rescue dog, how about a rescue coin? I've purchased a few Barber Halves off eBay from bad photos; when they arrived I discovered they were coated with lacquer. With a little experimentation I found that acetone successfully removes the lacquer without damaging the coin. A while back I spotted an… -
Re: Huge Vintage find...need help...UPDATE!!!!
If they guy knows enough to price Bary Bonds RC's high right now then he knows enough to find out if these are fakes. I am sure if they were real he would not flip a Joe Jackson for $175. If you really think he has something legit get his contact info from him and then find the people in charge of the flea market to… -
Re: There needs to be a serious show about coin collecting on TV...
The dweed channel. Remember that ham radio operators have much cooler flea markets. Youtube sounds like a good idea. I can watch porn on Youtube. Uh, I mean one can watch porn on Youtube.

Re: Ever rip a coin on eBay and then feel somewhat bad about it
I have in the past, but I did place my highest bid on the item and nobody bid against me or the item. It was a rip when you look at what previous sales on the items that I won had gone for, but I'm sure that the seller understood the possibilities of what would happen. Do I feel bad? Considering I like this particular… -

Re: Coin Shops, Dealers Locations in the UPPER MIDWEST

Re: is this a scam?
Thats why i think EBAY is a toilet, a few months back just for $hits and giggles i put 20 Mexican 50 pesos with pics for $500 a piece and had a few bidders, and one bidder was nice and emailed me and told me someone emailed him and told him not to buy coins from new users with 0 feedback, so i emailed EBAY and asked them… -

Off Topic Post - 1661 Tax Day Witchhunt of Fofar Scotland - found while researching Dundee Token
I came upon this piece while researching the commerce of Dundee, Scotland and it's environs out of curiosity over a 1795 Molison Halfpenny Token from Dundee. As it is Tax Day it thought the presumed power to curse a taxman dead due to lack of coin would be of some odd amusement to those either bereft of coin or at least of… -
