<< <i>Whatever you do DO NOT listen to the dude whos brother and sisters are lawyers he has NO clue what he is talking about. The buyer bought a psa authenticated card what the recived was not this, they got a tampered case with a less than psa 8 in the case. This isnt the case of a sub bump and the seller lost out, this… -
Re: Would the forum moderator PLEASE move all BULLION threads to the "Precious Metals" forum!!
<< <i> << <i>Dennis - That's all well and good, but I really don't think that bullion threads should be on the U.S. Coin forum. And I'm sure most other coin collectors feel the same way even if they don't voice there opinion. There is a PM forum that those threads could go to. >> I don't think you get my first point. This… -
Re: What's Up with 40% Silver?
Speaking of 40% silver halves, last night I pulled out and went through the 1965 SMS halves I have acquired over the years as an adult collector. The wide variety of appearances that 1965 SMS half dollars have is very interesting. Some are ugly and look like circulation strike examples. Others look like other run of the… -
Re: local B@M junk silver prices
that's what I thought also. Other than last weekend when I didn't go their cases were near empty. They had very few bars or rounds out. Right after the most recent dip when the spot was somewhere in the upper 16 dollar range they were selling rounds in full roll qty only. Even then they were asking .50 over spot. Today the… -
Re: Type Set Addition; and opinions on whether to pull trigger.
Update. After checking out the two 1961 proof sets I bought unopened, I spent last night and early today pondering whether to cut out the one half that has DCAM reverse and a CAM obverse that I can't evaluate to my satisfaction in the cello. What to do, what to do. I am looking at it right now. I can't resist anymore. OK,… -
Re: So, with my activities as a collector [described below] have I doctored coins?
I have "doctored" worthless (mostly non-US) coins for educational purposes. This includes cleaning, chemicals, heat etc. I think it's important to see some of the processes, and the outcome, so as to understand what a doctored coin looks like. Spotting doctored coins can keep you away from some costly mistakes. Until I did… -
Re: Interesting toning on this Peace $
Looks like a pig to me. Milky spots and I wouldn't pay any premium for it. Cameron Kiefer -
Re: Dipping coins makes one a coin doctor
Even 15 years ago on this forum there was a line drawn between dipping a coin and what was considered to be doctoring. There were some who disagreed, of course, but most people thought ATing a coin to cover up hairlines or even to feed the toning craze, moving metal around with tools, applying putty or other foreign… -
Re: Mint Destroying PM Returns? Possibly Worried About Counterfeits?
Actually I'm glad to hear the mint is destroying returns. I bought 10 of the 20th anniversary silver eagle sets in 2006 and was one of the first ones to receive them. Much to my surprise every single set had milk spotted coins. Some were really bad and I posted pictures on this site. I returned all ten sets and was… -
Re: Nothing I can do about this spot...
You could try soaking it in a mild neutral oil, such as mineral oil, to see if the spot would lighten up.
