What always surprises me about these coins is that you don't see much clipping. You would think that with all the unstruck space at the edges,...
Yeah. The one-percenters have a boatload of discretionary income. Still, if you're collecting coins for the pleasure of collecting coins, the...
Damn. I wish I could help. If I was a millionaire, I'd pay your medical bills. They say it's the thought that counts, but that's a lie. I know how...
Speaking of flaws on graded coins, here is one of those newly-discovered pattern Peace Dollars S&B is auctioning this month. This gives a new...
Ugh, sorry man. But get well! You can't collect any coins if you're dead. :)
Send it to NGC if you want verification. David Vagi's crew could do it. It's worth a lot more than ten bucks if real. I'm not fond of slabbed...

Very interesting stuff, Zohar. Thank you for taking the time to post it. Seeing anything that has to do with the minting process is particularly...
These two Seleucids finally came home to roost, so I offer you my own pics. As usual, the sellers' images have nothing to do with the actual color...
Thanks for the tip! I was drawn to the lion as well, the Chinthe - evidently an ancient symbol, a creature that guards temples and pagodas, found...
Thanks Angelo! Dirt cheap stuff - it was probably all worthless the day it was printed, but still interesting from an artistic and historical...
Thanks Christian. Very interesting! Picked up some modern Syrian pounds... [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
