This aureus of the emperor Titus was struck for the opening of the Colosseum in 80 AD. I'm sure the games were quite elaborate. Why yes, there...
You go, Sal! Glad you found a keeper. (BTW, I think you're on a roll with these themed-day things.) So... cheerful cheapos, huh? OK. Each of...
Remarkable for a change find! I’m a ‘65 model, so all I get for my birthyear is clad. :(
[ATTACH] That’s a 1686 Saint Lambert’s communion token (mereau) from Liege in Belgium. Part of a big lot of such “skull & bones” tokens I got...
Several folks have said that, then won one of these drawings. ;)
I don’t think it looks horrible. It can be tweaked, of course. This is just me on my phone, with 45 seconds and some fiddling with the “adjust”...

Only at 3:00 because the reverse picture is upside-down. ;) Normally at 9:00. Interesting pedigree, BTW.
I just had to look up “ETFs” in order to have the slightest inkling of what that is. Badic “lumps of metal” I can wrap my head around....
Back on July 31st, I took about half of the contents of my nest-egg money market account (about $30K-ish) and sank it into gold and silver...

Ouch, that one worked hard for a living. Better-date coin for six bucks, though? Yep. Good grab, no doubt about it.
I’m with the horsey guy here. They look like nice Gem MS examples to me, though I’ll confess the relatively low relief on Peace dollars gives me...
