Please note the error in the reconstruction. The eagle belongs on the potato itself, not on the shopping cart. Otherwise this is a great post on...
Mat is right. A few of them make it clear that the A@E legend was above the crescent but mine require a lot of imagination to see anything beyond...
The Baltimore show yesterday wore me out (partly due to the 3 hour ride each way on the club charter bus). The only coin I have photographed of...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] My two, shown in the same order as the first two, show slightly different arts of the legends which never all make it on flan,...
When I wrote my grading pages I started to propose a two number system (0 through 9) rating the quality of the coin in terms of the Conditions of...
What I fear is being missed is the fact that every coin with the same grade letters and numbers will not be worth the same price. There will be...
Certainly not. In the long run, it will not increase the collector base but bring in only those buyers I really do not want in the hobby. I see...

This was a perfectly good sestertius of Antoninus Pius but that greedy Postumus decided to up its worth to a double sestertius by overstriking it...
Easily among the best I've seen and much better than any I have! Who was it that said that the first thing done in the morning is to read the...
Also, am I not correct that the x-ray technique is one that only measures the surface so the melt percentages of the whole coin could be a lot...
Showing my ignorance: If I sent 2000 of these to be melted, would it be practical to extract the tad over an ounce of gold from them or would the...
Just an opinion but I'd pay 2-4x for Steve's dated coins with clear legends than for one that might have more detail hiding and might not. There...
I know nothing of these. How do you tell it is not just a beat up Theodosius II? [ATTACH]
I understand that the price of nickel has gone up so much that our 5 cent nickels are worth more than face value. Perhaps we are paying people...
