I know this might not go down well with our commonwealth friends, but most of the time I do not ever collect their coins because they are one...
That might be the key sir. When you give up trying to organize it, keep track of it, know everything you own, etc might be when you pass the line...
I would have to say I am as well. I am not just a hoarder for hoarding sakes, since I do think I am also a numismatist and know about coins more...
Sure looks Vandalic, I can see why you looked there. If not, it definitely looks like Limes, but maybe check Lombards, Merovingian, etc.
Impressive. Well done sir.
Confederate bills were never legal tender in the US. US coins are protected under the Hobby Protection Act which makes it a federal crime to...
Nice coins. I like Kushan coins, but need to spend more time with them, (all of my coins actually). I bought the group lot of coins published by...
@jeffb gave you the best source. Anecdotally, the only thing I have is from my neighbor who was an early metal detectorist. In the late 1970's I...

Um, I didn't know the Second Amendment had a secret addendum that the right to bear arms is only for shooting squirrels. I don't own any guns...
Yeah, I have trying to be a nice guy lately about these, and not trying to hoover up everything I see. I own close to a dozen, and I am fine for a...
Really? I find I could write a letter to the editor on about 85% of the articles in the NYT. Seems like the paper is simply one large Opinion...
Toning = Tarnish but is not always = patina. Patina is a defensive measure an item creates to protect itself. Toning/tarnish is the beginning of...
I like the grade, but given ANACS and could be older slab, I would guess lower, like VF 20.
Patina is kind of ok. Patina is the outer surface aging naturally. Copper darkens, silver tones, gold does nothing, (the impurities in the gold...
I simply shake my head and wonder. Why would people buy things that are not as easily verifiable as a mint issued coin if they weren't an expert...
I am with others, the coin simply depicts an attractive woman much as in most ancient art. Artfully depicted women top less do not constitute porn...
