Re: Another Steal! Or the Case of the Greedy Collector?
"You can now obtain PRF-69 and PRF-70 specimens of this non-monetary issue". Isn't this false advertising, I didn't know SEGS had a grade below 70. I've never seen one. -
Re: Rare variety 1816 960 Reis?
Most likely false. To me, the "B" has too much distortion from the host coin to be purely from the overstrike. Also, it is not a documented variety in the book that @BillDugan1959 posted about. Does it appear as a documented variety in any other source? -
Re: Panther Cheerleaders Kicked Off Team - Unfair?
The one with the false ID is underage. Bad news fellas - they weren't bushwhacking, one was losing her dinner. The other hopefully was holding her hair back. The moaning was the standard "drive the porcelain bus" chatter. Now... about the oral surgery. -
Re: Burned by "1975 not mini"
I am as disgusted by the false-promo listings as anyone, but this one doesn't bother me at all. It's not as though minis command some kind of premium. The guy could have done it better, but it doesn't look like some kind of scheme. -

Re: how does one get a grade like this ?
<< <i>XF wear over a weak strike. >> Sorry, NO. When you are grading a weakly struck coin, you have fall back to grading surfaces. That is an admittedly difficult, sometimes controversial task, which requires a good eye and a lot of experience. This coin shows signs of a weak strike, but it also has a lot of surface marks… -
Re: Joe Montana or Steve Young
Completely false. In the Joe Namath biography by Mark Kriegel, it's stated that opposing players tried to hurt Namath whenever they could. In fact, Joe drew a "smiley face" on his uniform pants over his surgically repaired knee before a game and he was hit there right away injuring it again. Then there's Ben Davidson (see… -
Pine-Sol and Ammonia...are they inert?
Is there another chemical that, like acetone, is inert? I heard recently that ammonia won't damage a coin, and I heard the same thing about Pine-Sol. True or false? And how would they differ from acetone in terms of removing agents that have accumulated on the coin? -
Re: Numismatic material found in Houston area mall
<< <i>.... as others have said, you probably already know the outcome. Are you really that bored? Are you prepared to actually sell anything? If not, the whole adventure is based on a false pretense, and most people would find that insulting. >> Ditto. -
Re: Who really controls the coin market?
I should also add CDN and their "information providers" I mean, come on, we all know there were millions of 1804 dollars made. They just hide them to falsely inflate their value. Just like the diamond suppliers.
