You know why it looks odd to my American eyes, because it's a mug-shot pose: body forward, head to the side. All she needs is to be holding up a...
It's really impossible to make a determination of the value of an album like that without grading the coins individually, and you don't really get...
Yeah, check out their Sunday night auctions - if you're looking for investment value, you've got to buy as low as you can, of course, and true...
Agreed. I've been denied twice, by two different sellers, and in each case it was clear that the listings were a mistake. The asking prices were...
Also, if I'm not mistaken, did you buy that coin from L&C? It looks like one of their pics. I like L&C because they frequently run Sunday night...
No, the set registry is an online database where you can catalog your coins. You can also browse other collections. Here's the link to the PCGS...

Fandi32's coins look like he just smears them with some goop and bakes them.
Oh I knew the coin I bought was AT, but I wanted to see it. He uses some sort of electrical process and the coins acquire color, but it's not like...

I bought one of his coins a few years ago, just to see what it looked like in hand, and it wasn't anything like the pics. The pics are juiced....
That was obviously a dumpster in a nicer neighborhood. :)
I'll bet you could do better than that if you put your mind to it.
Time to shake and bake!
No album is inert, but you can minimize the damage by storing it in a dry room, preferably air-conditioned in the summer, and put it in a box with...
Good start. I like the Whitman albums. We had them as kids, so they're nostalgic. Every time I go to a show and see a stack of them, I'm always...
A few Tyches to share. 1. Bust... Provincia Arabia: Julia Mamaea, after 180 - 235 AE22, 4.3g, 12h; Bostra Mint, 222-235 Obv.: IVLIA MAMAEA...
That's a beautiful image, TIF.
That coin is right up my collecting alley, Steve. Very nice!
