I have to agree with JA on this one. I have a thousand ugly coins but the ones I value are the ones that show something I can not show easily...
I agree these are nicer than most but I can not see them as worn. They look more mis-struck or flat with sharp ridges in places that should have...
This one I can answer. Open Office is different from MS Office and so many people are used to the MS programs that they see differences as...
When I bought my WIN 8 (now 10) computer I was distressed to learn that the new version did not support my old coin catalog software (Microsoft...

There are enough people out there who have convinced themselves that their answer is the only correct one that there is no use talking to any of...
I want to point out a couple things here that show someone was doing things the right way. 90% of these sold are fakes. Buying a Caligula with a...
The show Friday had a decent Tiberius denarius of the type that is not the Tribute penny. I might have bought it except that the reverse was off...
Ops is one of the more commonly seen reverses from Pertinax from Rome or Alexandria and the only way to get Ops using the word other than some...
I suspect that depends on your purpose. You need to check such devices to see what field they cover. My microscope makes great images of coins...
It would be very interesting to know the meanings, if any, of left facers over the years. Certainly there were times where both were issued...
I have not added any new ones for a while but still like my Tiny Treasures from my webpage. [IMG] Left row: 1. Syracuse, Sicily, hemilitron...
