Wow, with a name like @Orielensis , with the name "orient" seems to be inferred, I would have pegged you as an Eastern collector myself. :)
The type to me is very interesting. Its all the more interesting if you get Guido Bruck's book on late roman types. There are DOZENS of different...
Someone simply to advertise they own them, and if a buyer really wanted one they are available. Lots of stuff on Ebay are place there more as an...
They have actually tried to sue companies that sold to a MN resident in another state. But, the main objection from the ancient coin side is the...
I have seen most firms take down the signs. I haven't heard anything about it, so I am guessing its over. When a panic is over its never front...
$125 an ounce? In the 70's I am guessing, for a short while from the $35 but illegal to own it to the $990 an ounce in 1980 then back down to $400's.
I simply use .73 and .78 for US coins, (halves down, and silver dollars respectively). Close enough. I ignore 40% etc since they are always worth...
Not to make a big deal about it sir, and I understand your assumption based upon population profiles at most coin shows, but women have had a huge...

I wish I could go, but without the wife feeling safer to take the kids on airplanes, it would be a no-go for me as well. I am looking forward to a...
One, it could exist because a bunch of old coins were brought in. The more nefarious answer would be someone is trying to advertise "unsearched...
The US Mint has specifically said TPG standards are not their standards. They have specifically said they are not tied to Proof 70 as their...
No sir, not that I am aware of. Sounds like pure sales puffery.
If it is a double head coin then that is a magician coin. If the reverse is flat, then its probably half a magicians coin. You can look up here or...
Just the dealer has to post the bond. WE were going to suggest a simple solution, if the customer goes tot he dealer you assume the customer...
No, its multifaceted. They have to POST a $25k bond to buy or sell any pm. Also, the law defines pm as any item with any amount of pm in it, and...
Ancients have a much higher learning curve than other series. You cannot just pick up one book and think you will find all of your answers. It can...
