I'd be interested in reading that book if I could borrow it. I strongly suspect that it's little more than a primer, and most of the information...
How do you know it's authentic?
Why the hell does it matter if coin collecting has a future? My wife would like to know.
Neither am I a fan - it seems superfluous. I do like the visual of the coin floating in space though.
Superb images, Joe! Doug, I like the last T+R adjusted to bring out the feathers the best. Great shot!
I suppose there are only so many tiers you can put on an AE4, but the wavy lines look like an intentional stylistic change to my eyes. It's just...

I thought it might be entertaining to follow Joe's post with this hideous fouree mule, lol. Obverse of Vespasian, reverse of Domitian. I wonder if...

I don't know the answer to your first question Doug, but since it's never been common for women to like looking their age, I'm going to guess the...
You've got a nice set. I haven't got any examples of these large denominations - just haven't gone down that path yet, but yes, they do look very...
I agree in general with your advice, Michael, but "worth" is entirely subjective. I've bought plenty of bargain coins of lesser grades that are...
