I agree with everyone else. I think someone in antiquity hated this emperor. There was not a Damnatio that I recall, but looks like what a coin...
You are right but be careful. I knew many who treated classic commemoratives as a dip, and are still massively underwater. Do you like the coins?...
How many people are starting circulated IHC collections today versus being sold? I have always thought the modern keys like this and 09S VDB were...
Plating bubble most likely. Very common in post 82 cents. Have something like this on the coin, it gets buried in the ground, and a few years...
Is it still covered in dirt? It appears so by the way the letters meld into the fields. I would soak it, but after a week or so give it a good...
I am not saying its not interesting sir, just posting what I know about the pieces. Every coin can be interesting. :)
Any time a post like this comes up, it is almost always state quarters. They were sold as silver, gold, and platinum plated by the tens of...

But silver dollars have never traded at melt. People have always been willing to pay more for them, but for stackers that is a problem if silver...
Best buy for junk silver will depend on the circumstances in which you sell them. To me, not knowing when or why I would sell, I try to buy WL...
Now you are sounding like me Randy! My wife last week found a nice VF Thasos stater in my armchair in the family room. She is usually good about...
Well heck, if you think it's possible to only have a favorite 10 or 15 coins, it kind of proves you can't be mine. :) I couldn't pick out my...
Yeah, I have lost coins. I lost a New Jersey colonial note in CU. No idea where it is today. However, given my way I collect I have no idea what I...

Just like there have been threads how silver will go over $100, and it will NEVER go below $25. Either answer is wrong of course. Today it is...
