Here is my only Septimius Severus. I was underbidder on two in the last Leu sale :( SEPTIMIUS SEVERUS. 193-211 AD. Æ SestertiusStruck 195 AD....
If my twelve year old self could do it over again I would invest in stocks, or broad market low cost tracking funds to be more specific. I think...
There's a reason we use base 10...
I'll second the thanks for posting the write up, very interesting read, and not what I expected from the thread title. I believe there is a...
Yup, and there are no great deals on great coins, you pay what they are worth.
I think the general consensus is better prices at smaller shows compared to large. In addition to higher table fees, there is considerable travel...
I was under the impression that silver would continue to tarnish and penetrate deeper into the coin, but after looking around more I am not longer...

If everyone drives 56 then nothing bad happens. If everyone drives 93 that is a different matter. Again, the Kantian imperative is an actual...

I'll change my mind if you have some ethical reasoning behind it? I gave you two examples of basic ethical reasoning, first year stuff. Nothing...
I'll be the party pooper here and call it out for what it is. Legal or not, it's unethical to collude with other bidders on coins. Tiff, your...
Reverse die is hammet die correct, obverse is anvil? If so, reverse dies typically are shorter lived. Would make sense to have same mint, same...
