Not a 20 to one ratio, 16 to one. 20 silver dollars about 16 ounces of silver, a double eagle about an ounce.
Ancients are always tricky. Yes, we have a TON of "rare" coins. But like others mentioned, it will always be of when does it matter? You guys are...
Many here like @TypeCoin971793 I agreed with earlier are much more knowledgeable than I on the specific coin. What I bring up would be...
A little wet dirt and plastic bearings in a rock polisher on low will do the trick. Unfortunately for them, its polishing pot metal, which will...
Perfect answer. I see better cast copies at Chinese markets locally for less than $5. Not even a decent pot metal fake. US, British, and French...
I have no idea what these go for, but all of us get caught up in bidding wars. I think many more than usual are doing it this year due to prices I...
I would see just the opposite. I think alternative energy is very bearish for pm. One, the use of copper is high for all forms, which will lead to...
I have always advocated getting rid of all descriptors and have all grades numerical. The original sin of US numismatics was to split the world of...
I agree. If it's easily foreseeable, it will be priced into the market already. Its always the unknowns. This is why I admit I have no idea what...
Quite right. I guess my point was many of these nations have defaulted in the past, will default today, and most likely default on whatever money...

Then you name the group that advocates debt forgiveness, wants to prohibit collecting rents on rental units but still subject landlords to taxes,...
Could easily be they had bad luck with a bidder who didn't pay. I have known auctioneers, and non-paying bidders are part of the game. One on...
Yes, but that calculation is made assuming existing rights to property, laws in place enforced, etc. "Progressives" are trying to change the rules...
This seems like a definite "progressive" trend, blame the people lending money. Did these lenders put a gun to the President of Zambia's head and...
They can blame Covid, but most have been fiscally mismanaged for decades. Remember their neighbor Zimbabwe? "Covid" is a politically expedient...
Sorry, the time-frame of these were before Diocletians reforms. Probus is a very famous emperor to strike a great many of these. They are actually...
It was about 5 percent silver, 95 percent copper. They struck up looking like nearly pure silver coins. My friend said it was a few weeks total...
A friend of mine is a medieval coiner for fun, and he said he was able to reproduce late Roman silver wash coins by roughly reproducing what we...
I think most of us, being collectors, have much more "non-buyers remorse" than buyers remorse. Money is just money, but coins are more memorable....
