Re: eBay Fakes (and What Can I Do About Them?)
So many lame excuses and straw men....they don't have to spend ANY additional revenue. Simply use AI and crowdsourcing knowledge to their advantage, users who have a history of reporting items that get taken down, should have a higher weighted "report" when the feature is used. Perhaps a handful of reports trigger a manual… -
Using your knowledge to make a fair profit vs. outright deception: where's the line drawn?
If someone walks into a coin shop with a rare data shield nickel, for instance, and the dealer (knowing that the coin is worth hundreds of dollars) says "well... for common date shield nickels in this grade, I pay $25," giving the seller the impression that the coin's worth only $25, that's dishonest, isn't it? On the… -
Re: Legal question about Freedom of Speech on the forum and the threat of lawsuits
We are dealing with libel with the written word. If you are a public figure -- so deemed by your position or your own quest for the spotlight -- it requires a "knowing and reckless disregard of the truth" to prevail.

How is what you have done any different from , say, this What is different is I told the truth and have both the… -
Re: Hard to believe this is the same coin!
As mentioned, axial vs. direct lighting. Both can be equally accurate. It falls upon the buyer yo exercise knowledge of photography, and evaluate the photos based on that. If the buyer lacks such expertise, it greatly limits the options of coins they have available to buy (for example, a decent gem Proof Barber half can be… -

I'm sure most of us fall into this category? BTW, didn't we coincidentally meet at the BB HOF? -
Re: Throw out the Price Guides - I believe that they are WRONG!
I haven’t read through all the comments, but here’s a thought. We’re not really dealing with an aspect of coin collecting, we’re dealing with statistics deviation. Anytime something shows up on the market with regularity you’re going to have more reliable data than you will if it shows up infrequently. Any coin that lands… -
Re: College players now kneeling.
Sorry to inform you and the kneelers, but there is a lot of ignorance on this kneeling issue. Firstly, the initial premise behind Kaepernick and the NFL kneelers is proven by facts to be a totally false narrative. Another false narrative is that the Civil War was all about slavery.
