Just amounts to being an élitist snob... :D
Who said anything about $4000 per month? I stated 'seriousness from time/money spent on coins'. As far as i'm concerned if you regularly...
Ah it was R7! Diff numbers too. All i know that if it's R4 it's rare enough for me! (no matter what scale you're on!) ;)
Don't get serious collectors confused with élitist collectors.
I believe seriousness comes from how dedicated you are to the hobby. Be that dedication through checking you change for ever detail, dedicated...
Mine cost me about $1800 and that is at the cheaper end of the noble spectrum. For GVF coins you'll not get one cheaper. Infact it can be anything...
Did you get to know which king it was? There are some rare muled dies from the Henry V/VI periods, and some very rare classes, it could have...
I think us Brits us something similar to the Sheldon scale. I think we go up to R8. Certainly nothing as crazy as R20.
The halfs are rarer. They go for the same kinda price as the full thing, usually about 2/3rds of the price. That's if you can even find one!...
Best to think of it as a Key or semi-key date rather than rare. To me if there's ever more than 10 available anwhee at one (or say more than...
Oh this noble/ryal thing is spreading. Well i'm trying to decide whether to get another noble of a different king, or get another annulet issue,...
Well if you ever get fed up of your continental Ryal imitation you know where i am... :D
Then you don't know GD. I doubt very much that GD will sell many of those. The only time he does sell is when he's shifting focus and the money...
It most certainly would. They used to give people the death penalty for doing that.
Right Doug, the UK has used Sterling silver for all its silver coins from the 1660s to 1920 when it was downgraded to half silver. Sterling...
Some coins will still be as cheap in the next hundred years as they are now, whether coins still circulate or not. Some coins have such high...
I agree with GD's second point to be a collector of coins you have to actually buy some of your coins. Collecting totally from change is more...
What i think we'll address, or should adress is what kinda collector's we're on about. Serious collectors who outlay lots of money per coin...
I'm glad you agree with me ND, I think we'd have a coin collecting would boom if we went cashless.
1. No i do not, the mints are making money out of them, thus they have an incentive to carry on minting and the governments will let them because...
Separate names with a comma.
