You can sell some kinds of gold to banks. Problem is that they don't pay very well for it: [ATTACH]
Seems like you and I might have the same issue: Deriving much of our collecting joy from the storage, cataloging, and record keeping processes!...
Ya, you need to stop doing that. Most of those will probably end back up on Cointalk when some New Member thinks they've found something special!!...
Mine was minted after his assassination and is off-center to a distracting degree, but I like the bust and was also really happy to obtain the...
At first I thought maybe the wrong obverse was posted by accident, but then I noticed that 2016 was on the reverse also :pompous:
CE means "Common Era", which I believe is exactly equivalent to "AD". I guess some people felt the need to remove religious implications from...
Pretty cool find and story. However, "Hoard" seems like it might be a bit of a misnomer in this case. The definition is something like, "wealth...

Considering that the prices of ancient coins nearly doubled across the board starting in 2019-20, your $250 coin in 2015 would probably be...
I catalogue sales of coins in the price range that I'm interested in purchasing (all NGC slabbed). But, I stop tracking sales once I've obtained...
Did you enter a whole bid according to the bidding increments? If somebody placed a proxy bid, then you made a higher bid that didn't cover a...
I typically don't pay much attention to mint locations and so forth. But, in searching through a catalogue of my coins, I discovered that I had a...
I initially had the same reaction. But in re-reading, I realized that he said: "more than a Gordian the 3rd" Which I take to mean that he's...
