Rarity by definition and itself, yes, I agree with you that it's a function of supply. However, I utilize rarity into a ratio that compares...
Absolute and relative rarity definitely plays a role in my collecting, but it's in terms of prioritizing which ones to get first, as I'll be given...
This is a bit of a tangent, but are the clock terms (e.g. 3H, 6H, etc.) the proper or standard way for labeling coin orientation for ancients?...
That was so obvious I can't believe I missed it, lol. It looks like after flipping the coin laterally, it's rotated 90 degrees to the left, or...
Can someone please let me know what the medal alignment is on this coin from the OP - is it "up, up", or is it "up, down" on this coin? I believe...
Is this a proof strike? The rim to edge is sharp, which is consistent with a proof strike. It looks to have a semi-mirror finish, perhaps like a...
Is this 1873 France 5 Francs coin cleaned or polished? I definitely see some hairlines or deeper scratches, there's a mirror-like surface, and...
Ah , I added one extra "0". And, yes, that figure would be the max amount in circulation. Thanks.
Thanks - do I interpret that as 30,000,000 Chicago $5 notes + the star notes as the official number issued?
Thanks, yes, it probably won't work for those. Is there a source for 20th-21st century notes? For example, 1946 Hungary and 2009 Zimbabwe...
Thanks - any idea on how I can get one for 1918 US $5 for Chicago (G7)? I searched the link and found ones that go back to 1928, but not earlier.
Is there a source where I can get info on the number of banknotes issued, for US and other countries' banknotes? I searched on PMG's online...
FYI, I use Quadrums and use them in 12-pocket archival pages. Quadrums are good in archival pages because they won't turn like the round...
Both. If you like to look at the coins every once in a while, then I'd say go with Air-tites and put them in a container made to house Air-tites -...
Of course that's the problem, as mentioned...
I'd just Google it on my phone and show them.
I believe a lot of members here self-insure. Besides that, USPS Priority mail covers $100 in insurance for free IIRC. I think that amount...
Here's what happens when you overlay the two images together. The two images are "stacked" and the "D" MM is made centered on top. The 1914 date...
Sweet, thanks!
I've noticed this on some of my US and other coins, but this recent acquisition reminded me of this phenomenon. On this 1942-P Mercury dime below,...
