Honestly, when it comes to red books, it depends on what you are interested in. If you like a particular denomination, I would suggest the Mega...
An interesting story about the Franklin half is the tiny little eagle on it. The mint act of 1792 stated that half dollars had to display an eagle...
We simply do not know really. Provincial coins were only intended to circulate locally, so their relative denominations were local affairs. It was...
I never said we had done it correctly, I am pointing out capitalism can be modified to create correct economic signals to pay for damage to...
I understand the traditional tragedy of the commons, but there are ways within the free market to quantify this effluent and make it economically...
There is a massive difference between capitalism with rules to protect common areas and socialism. One does not need to redistribute wealth in...
I agree. I was skeptical of it actually being Alexander at first, but upon looking at the entire corpus of the coins, they bear way too much...
I also have to give a shout out to Frank Robinson's book, "Confessions of a Numismatic Fanatic" as well. Great reading on how and why to collect...
Yeah, about this. I would recommend for the third book the cherrypicker's guide if they wanted to start with CRH. Three books is obviously tough...
99% of such things are scams nowadays. Years ago Ebay and CL truly did have people listing an inherited collection, and I bought some. Today,...

Not in actual terms sir, but in market cycle both for spot and premiums. In 2015 I was buying quite a bit, posted here about it, how both spot and...
OP, I find maybe 90% of these Ching coins Beijing mints. The obverse is chinese, reverse manchu, so are unique to chinese cash coins so easy to...
Ebay is collecting and remitting state SALES tax. The 1099 will also be reported to your state, so the sale would also be taxable by them as well.
No guarantees. Just opinions of some who have seen and studied this market through past up and down cycles. I agree with you eventually $50 will...
I had seen spectacular, checked out silver joker. Hey, whatever makes them happy I am glad they are in the hobby. I just hope they have thought of...
Nice to catch one of your grails. I have one, kind of a coin, that I haven't seen for sale for well over a decade come up recently. I don't want...
I agree with @ToughCOINS post. Most fail because they concentrate too much on stacking, not enough on the rest of their financial life. If you...
Well, if its cheaper than what they sold them for yesterday, I guess. Stupid me, I will simply wait until both spot market and premiums go back...
