Don't see toning. Any early issue in 67FH will not be cheap, and it has a CAC. I do not know the market for these, but assume the price is for the...
Nice piece. I love sturgeons, so I have many of these pieces.
I think I found a silver dime in change maybe 8 months ago. Pretty scarce. I think the move to more digital payments is slowing down rotation of...
OP, yeah sorry but have to agree. Its a cheap souvenir imitation of a spanish cob coin. Probably bought somewhere in the caribbean in a cheap...
I would respectfully disagree. Alexander struck coins from a great variety of mints, many more than say Constantine. However, if you look at...
My rule of thumb is any firm that would sell these I do not buy from. I appreciate letting us know, but believe they belong in black boxes not...

I also have to give a shout out to Frank Robinson's book, "Confessions of a Numismatic Fanatic" as well. Great reading on how and why to collect...
Yeah, about this. I would recommend for the third book the cherrypicker's guide if they wanted to start with CRH. Three books is obviously tough...
99% of such things are scams nowadays. Years ago Ebay and CL truly did have people listing an inherited collection, and I bought some. Today,...
