Maybe, but they made TONS of them, and the collector base is smaller now. I own some of the $5 gold coins, but bought them below melt and do not...
I was just about to post I bought two items but haven't received an invoice yet, but as I was typing the email came in.
I have not done it either, but a local dealer I was visiting once, (don't usually deal with), but he had two boxes an employee was unpacking. I...
My quadrans are not far off of denarius size. This coin appears to be bronze or orichalcum, which quadrans would be the correct term. Denarius...
GLD, IAU, a google search will find many just for gold. They have the same for silver, platinum, etc. They hold physical metal and trade as a ETF.
Why not just a ETF that holds PM? Those can be bought and held in any IRA.
Yes, that will usually lend itself to making color appear more uniform.
$250 for something unusual? For me, it might be a classic US commemorative. $250 for any ancient coin would not be "unusual" for me.
I am not seeing anything strange in colorations. The colors shown look appropriate for the metal and eras to my eyes.
Bought some for my son in 2013, (his birth year). Only other one I bought was the WWII park one that I gave to my uncle who was a Iwo Jima...

I highly agree with the exception of older coins. Anything modern and AU/BU can be damaged touching the surfaces. However, I just bought a very...
How do you know its made from silver? Just curious. I have seen these in pot metal, and seen them in pot metal with a silver coating. I have never...
I simply do not know why those two are the first two women honored. I am not sure they would make my top 40 US women who should be honored.
I collect Franklin pieces as well. I prefer the Delaware issues myself, but have many Penn issues. There was also a NJ issue.
True, Syracuse and Carthage mints can be very crude, but I would never confuse the two.
Thanks. I knew both of those were allowed in the area, but for some reason was not connecting them strongly with the Parthians and their practice....
Weird misattribution. Few things scream Parthian like the angular portraits like that. What religion were the Parthians mainly? I know they were...
I never knew where the silver bullet thing came from, but the wooden stake at first was not through the heart. The cure for vampires was to stake...
Yeah, Nomos is great, but stay away from what I am bidding on! :)
