Is it really gold? by Lee[_2_]
Out of lurking again. I was watching that gold commercial Gordon Liddy does for Roseland Capital. At the end he shuffled a handful of gold coins from one hand to the other. They sounded like a handful of plastic to me so I was wondering about it? Was he shuffling real Gold Coins? Lee...

Gold Colored Dollar Coins by Dave Rutan
I've now seen in two places during the last week where someone claims that the gold color of the Sacagawea dollar coin 'rubs' off after a short time. Is there any truth to this? In my experiments the golden dollars wear just fine. The patina might 'age' but it definitely doesn't go to anything...

"Blast White" by Petronius
The term "Blast White" has become so over/misused on eBay so as to become almost meaningless. Not that the term makes much sense anyway! It's not yet come to the point where I won't look at auctions that use the term in the description but it does send up a warning flare...

Largest quarters she has ever seen by Duh_OZ
Spent some halves at a Jewel/Osco and had the bagger tell me those were the biggest quarters she ever saw in her life. I just rolled my eyes :0) Cashier was also perplexed for a bit. Couldn't figure out 11 halves = $5.50 so counted them by twos, hence the bagger got a look at them while on...

General Public's Knowledge of Our Money (Sigh) by Bob
My name and email address appear on a numismatic website (please don't look for it!), and I get inquiries every now and then regarding the value of OPA red points or other oddball items. Today I received an email headed "+token given out by gas station." The text (minus the sender's name) is as...

Upcoming Girl Scouts commemorative dollar ? by MKW
No this will have a male featured on the front correct? Since the Boy Scout dollar had a female featured on the obverse design. I am still confused by the design choice for what could have been a great Boy Scout Dollar. They definitly did not win any fans with those who are actually boy scouts.

Numismatist on owning counterfeits by Reid Goldsborough[_2_]
In the column Numismatic Ethics the authors talk about the legalities of owning, buying, and selling counterfeits of collectable coins. At least two people here have argued for years that this is illegal and unethical, one by playing lawyer, amateurishly combining unrelated statutes. The...
