If no hurry I echo everyone's suggestion. Numisbids or Biddr have tons of auction websites. I find it good to chase some coins over time. Makes...
Kind of shocked by the prices myself. Maybe because I spend more time in auctions. I own a few just like this, but got them in group lots over the...
I have heard this, but only at the Philadelphia mint mainly in the 18th century. Part of the mint act was mining on demand. Customers could bring...
Yes, of course as others pointed out, the mints were located there because of local ore. I was just saying the mint made gold in Philadelphia and...
Aw man, you hater. Queen Boran is one of the few coins from my want list 10 years ago I have never acquired. Cleo VII was on that list, and now I...
I have always read the mints back then did not try to redistribute coins based on mints, and distributed locally as allowed to minimize costs. I...
I would echo others. When I used to buy these, rarely one would look like this instead of the dark normal tone. Not sure if anyone messed with it,...
Another one of my side collections is coins from the Black Sea. I find the area fascinating in its mystique, being on the fringes of...
I feel the same about many ancients, never being a stickler for grade. I especially feel this for some reason on bronzes, the warm glow of worn...
Something about Kushano-Sasanian I have always loved. I buy them on occasion, having bought a couple of pretty nice group lots over the years and...
Similar. The one thing about manual work is it takes a toll. I have relatives who spent their life in the trades and can hardly walk/bad backs,...
Sorry, have to say it, but I spent years bemoaning QEII on the obverse of many countries coins. Given this portrait, that reminds me strongly of a...
Looks like one I just bought on a whim at a local auction. They had one by itself, and another as part of a "Odd denomination set", so I bought...
Many times this coin, or a similar coin of Gordian III, is people's first ancient. The reason is they are silver, low priced, and usually pretty...
Higher rates SHOULD be driving pm down. Any asset with no returns should be discounted with higher bond returns. Now, pm is emotionally driven, so...
I am similar to you @-jeffB . The market would have to lower some market price AND premiums come down. Premiums are worst than market levels right...
Nothing wrong with that. I would never question anyone's collecting interest, as my own are esoteric and weird. Didn't mean to say anything bad...
I would say @mpcusa list is still applicable. What happens is when PM is "boring", premiums come down and I have had the chance to buy all three...
I seem to remember CoinAge with a picture of a 1913 on it if it helps. That was a monthly coin magazine back when CoinWorld was a weekly. Not...
I always hate competing auctions. What usually happens to me, since I worry about going over what I comfortably wish to spend, is I go light on...
