I know nuttin' about ancients, but isn't it odd not to have any writing at all?
I don't buy* from him now, and the numbers are all over the place, with lots from 1 good to 100 common stamps, sounds about right. No idea how...
All that is good to know. I'll pay 2% all day long, and I'll probably structure postage on low-end items, like: 1 to 3 items - 50c total postage...
I looked at eBid and I'm mildly impressed. Will try some stamp lots next week. Paying $50 for zero selling fees (for life) is an interesting...
I see "catch and release" is not an option here...:rolleyes:
Ed, in the past 25 years, we've collectively bought MOUNTAINS of stuff from China -- furniture, slippers, jackets, umbrellas, dishes, tools, the...
I would say that small cheap uncirculated banknotes are genuine; it would be waaaaaaaaaaaay too expensive and time-consuming to print them for the...
You can stop assuming, I think. No cent-size planchets have been made. If it were a silver dime planchet, the strike would bulge out over the...

Don't know. ;)
My best luck in the past year, regarding foreign, is buying foreign silver from places too busy-busy-busy to mess with them. These tend to be...
Probably, yes. That was my final juice, didn't want the OP to fret.
I can only quote what the Terminator said.....
If and when the price of silver takes off, that premium will get smaller and smaller. At some elevated price, that coin is just more bullion....
I tossed in a sensible bid to juice things up. Temporarily, I'm high.
I think it's safe to say that anything good for the Mint(s) is bad for the numismatist. The same issue comes up in stamp collecting. The folks...
"...anyone thinking modern issue mint sets are a good idea should take my advice..." Sounds like something I'd say. Actually, I have said it, to...
I'm a realist. I learn from observation and experience. We have a lot of pessimists because increasingly, people can't control their own...
Separate names with a comma.
