Whizzing by
Reid Goldsborough
The following will be an exercise of truth, and falsity, exposed, with
sources cited.
This is about whizzing, with the recent discussion about this until
now in a thread about ancient coins titled "Ancient Coins: How to
Start a Collection?" Whizzing, however, is primarily an issue
affecting modern...

"They'll be worth something someday" by
Paul Anderson
I spent some $2 bills, dollar coins and 2005 buffalo nickels at a White
Castle in New York yesterday. This caused quite a stir and competition
among the workers to buy up these denominations.
One worker said he was buying the $2 bills because "they'll be worth
something someday". I've heard this...

Should I be worried about coin damage? by
Ron
My uncle gave me a "A Silver Story" a couple of years ago.
It has a silver cert, 1 oz silver "nuggets", 1 morgan and 1 peace
dollar.
I haven't seen the rev of the coins since there is plastic over them.
I have it on the mantle as it isn't expensive and it is nice to look
at.
My question is: ...

"The Psychoanalysis of the Numismatist" by
Reid Goldsborough
This was the title of an article in the Celator, a well-regarded and
recommended publication about ancient coins, that I recently dug up at
the library. It's an article from 1992 that's a translation of a 1968
article in French by M. Jean Mazard. I had hoped it would delve in
detail into the...

Crabtree Mint by
Cmcshane
I recently bought a crabtree mint product, a $1000 20 oz silver
contract bar. Can anyone tell me anything about the Crabtree mint or
about the silver contract. Can I truly go to the Crabtree Mint (
assuming it still exists) and cash it in for a thousand dollars?

Old Dealer/Publisher Information Required by

I am doing some numismatic research at the moment and have come
across
a couple of handwritten letters on headed notepaper with the address
"Collectors Research Limited, PO Box 111, Montreal, Quebec". They
are
signed by someone called "John" and almost certainly date to around
the period...

Coin grading/authentication services -- periodic post by
Linda
What I have gleaned recently from this group but haven't verified with PCGS,
is that PCGS somehow "guarantees" its grade so if the coin turns out to be a
loser, they will compensate you. If that's the case, do the other services
do this, too? If this is the case with PCGS (haven't waded through...

Tintin by
Christian Feldhaus
Got a new coin yesterday; the birthday it commemorates is a fairly
special one ... "Tintin and Snowy", or "Kuifje en Bobbie", or "Tintin et
Milou", just got 75. Pretty good for such a young man - and even more so
for a little dog.
Here is a picture (not mine) of the coin and the...

Linda
I sent this earlier but I never saw it post, so please forgive if it is a duplicate, but I'm also not seeing any replies. Can anybody give me a short course in how to tell a good, circulated reproduction of a liberty quarter from the real deal?
