Dougs obverse legend is different, his is "IMP CAES GORDIANVS PIVS AVG" RIC 286 is the more common 'IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG".
So much information in here, thanks for taking the considerable time to explain this. I have been searching for information on the difference...
I'm not sure about the denomination. The British museum's 258b weights 12 grams, and a lot of the other Gordian III As weight in that...

If you were willing to take the risk that was certainly true. It's a weakness of the generally sold advice to buy and hold, but then once in a...
You can tell by comparing them to real coins, but the cartonish nature of the artwork is a dead give away, as is the low price you paid.
This list is pretty meaningless for basically any discussion. It's a list of international creditors, as the list is just 'external debt'. As...
Just a heads up, when most people invest in bonds they are not buying savings bonds. They are buying tradeable debt instruments issued by either...
