Sounds like they wherever you are having your convention.
I don't know man, just reacting to the coin pic. I don't know the circumstances around its issuance. Usually there is a huge hump at the back of...
My wife is from Thailand, and I know Indian elephants fairly well, and the differences between them and African. Sure looks like an African...
Not into the mints as much on these, (or any ancient coins really). However, aren't Sasanian coins noted for occasionally having more than one...
I have updated the list with everyones comments I believe.
Actually, I read that as the opposite. He is telling people to NOT take all of their money and buy $35-$40 silver, but to dollar cost average...

In a normal market that will not be true sir. Heck, I see such items, like milk spotted, fingerprinted, or colorized ASEs at spot or less from...
Wow, bad milk spotting. Deal makes a little more sense I guess. You got milk spotted coins, which have lost any real numismatic premium, and...
Lol, I happen to have HGC 12 sitting on my desk in a pile of coin books. Duh. I will pull it out and read. Thank you. Just getting into these....
As another example of the type, here is a tet for sale right now. This demonstrates the issue I mentioned of centering, and why I was happy with...
