Do you keep your personal collection in flips, Ken? I don't think it's shameful if you do, although my own coins are stored naked in Abifil trays....
There was a thread here quite recently (sorry, I'm on a phone and can't link to it easily) from someone in the process of cleaning a remarkably...
That's exactly what I'm doing.
Depending on the time of day, the fatigue of my eyes and my cheerfulness/grumpiness ratio, I'd describe it as Fine+ or aVF. That's pretty much two...
It's an excellent coin Orfew, well worth the price. Your interlocutor has demonstrated before that although he's able to find a grade and a price...
That might be a true statement... if this were indeed a "F example," but in fact both NGC and you have mistaken a weak reverse strike and a worn...
Mice aren't quite the only numismatic rodents; there are scarce coins of Cyrene in all metals depicting a jerboa, a hopping desert rodent of the...

I really regret passing on some fantastic coins over the years because they seemed overpriced at the time... whereas I honestly have never...
I place relatively little importance on a coin's appearance as a plate coin in a reference. There can be many reasons for the use of a coin that...
This may be true of modern commemorative coins, every one of which was struck decades after the OP coin was first collected. Your assertion could...
I'm curious how someone who joined this forum yesterday is familiar with what Steve did or didn't know.
There's no reason to doubt that the question was asked in good faith. Pity the same can't be said for your answer. You know you're on the ancients...
I'm skeptical of the notion of "travelling mints" in many cases--I think most ancient coins, even those struck to pay armies on the march, were...
Yep, same group.
Resorting to a claim of "personal privacy" in response to my question is completely disingenuous. Steve's communications to the mods are indeed...
