Sorry I will probably miss you @BuffaloHunter . I cannot go until late morning/moonshine today. Had to work yesterday and do neighborhood cleanup...
So who is "making these rules"? Sorry, but its inflation. Its everywhere. Its not that the bubble mailer people are evil, they are seeing massive...
I would say not as highly as gold, but pricier than silver I believe. The Washington monument would have been cheaper to top with silver than...
I thought patterns were just that patterns. Struck to test out a new coin idea. Many exist just like production strikes with small differences,...
I wouldn't take it personally. Some of us just want to hold the history. Most still keep the tag from the slab. I have quite a few ancients with...
So, $300k box? If I had to chose an over under, I would chose the over.
You did well OP. I have seen a hoard being dispersed in a couple of auction firms the last year or so. Therefore prices have come down, but hold...
I think the obverse on 1 is prettier, but like a lot of toning a little splotchy. #2 is both a creamy, uniform toning and toned reverse. Since...
Wow, that is a cool one. Hadn't seen that one before. It has an art deco feel on the reverse, but 18th century obverse.
Btw, I know if used incorrectly poppy can be a scourge to mankind, but that is more of a our problem than a poppy problem. The "seed of the poppy"...
Nice link sir, thank you. I was just going off of memory. @Deacon Ray , thanks. My baby daughter is Irene so thought I needed a really nice...
The Mercury caduceus is not the symbol of Asclepius. Asclepius, (patron god of physicians), had only one snake. All ancient coins showing it shows...

True, nothing for sale at that prices, premiums went through the roof. I wonder if there is an "ASE Index" or similar, listing the price of a...
Um, he is a senior grader, (sorry @Insider do not know your official title), at a major TPG. I would trust his opinion on authenticity sir. Not...
Considering cents have been 99% zinc since 1983, I doubt it would affect the copper market sir. Copper miners actually are lobbying to do away...
I thought I read they were issues X pounds of metal and were expected to return X coins. That is how they controlled for that. For precious metal...
100 Euros. Not sure you can buy much for 100 Euros today in terms of group lots. You did fine there. I am finding myself, (surprisingly),...
Care to name the auction house? As a group lot buyer, I am always interested in how the houses present them. Of course, the best, (for me), is...
To me, one should always place a details coin in jewelry since it will become that, (and mount removed), eventually. If this is true, I have no...
