I have been thinking for a few years of getting a nice 12 place sterling set. I have no idea why, just that I have always wanted one. Would I...
First, I would never entertain any offer from tv. To put the coins there, they have to mark them up DRAMATICALLY. You will ALWAYS get better...
Parthians are a weird series, either you like them or despise them. I go hot and cold at times, having to be "in the mood" for them. I still have...
First of all, welcome. For art lovers in coin collecting, there are a lot of different areas to look at. You mentioned many, @cpm9ball mentioned...
