If it was that high then lucky you sold. I remember distinctly I was buying junk at 3 times face in the early 90s. Dealers paid 2.8 times face,...
Hoe money is also used. I believe I own every type, including the very rare Incan examples from Ecuador. I find them fascinating.
I have always heard it was the payment for soldiers, goods, and services how they entered. The government always needs to buy things, including...
I think coin collector is the realm of hoarders in some respects, (I might be more of a culprit). However, I think the two areas of interest would...
I swear ,unless it's a recognizable western coin, (Greek, Roman, Byzantine), sellers put it up as "celtic".
Yeah,not a fan of the verdigris. If you are a newer collector, stay away from coins with powdery light green on them. Most of this coin is fine...
All of the portraits in the anonymous bronze series were reproductions of famous depictions of Jesus in churches in the empire. Today, most of...
Want to hear something weird? I own more 34 s peace dollars than any other date. Like the 27 s quarter, I simply liked the year and would always...
Not arguing that today is more volume, but I remember other hoards of Athenian tets hitting the market at times. They were a little scarcer for a...
I am not sure about "not many". Owls have always been plentiful. I would consider it by far the most common large archaic type of Greek coin. The...

Um, $10k is pretty cheap for a Rolex. Most decent ones are $20k or so. There are a few of us with a couple of proverbial nickels to run together,...
I won't. I am betting $1000 for the coin, (hopefully less because it was already damaged), $500 for holder, $300 for necklace, $300 for diamonds...
Funny, I just bought a Titus the other day. A denarius that a local dealer had put aside for me, (I buy all of his ancients). I think I paid $50...
Yep, all completely true. Don't pay attention to the three safe deposit box contents accrued over the last 20 years...
My only correction would be I think Egypt adopted the owls earlier than 300BC. There was no Egyptian government in 300BC, it was the General...
Trade is always a tough thing, because not only do you need to find someone who wants what you have, but they also have exactly what you want and...
Gold at $10k will tell you a lot more of the failures of the Fed managing the USD than it will be a story of strength of gold.
I did 4 and 9. I chose them for different "stereotypical" types of RR.
