I got destroyed again yesterday. I think I am about 0-15 lately. Maybe I am just not in a serious enough coin mood. Its a bummer to have to work,...
Eh, I have resigned myself a long time ago we are weird little dudes. Well over 99% of the rest of the country and world care nothing about money...
...and this is to just calculate a simple profit, not accounting for inflation. The sooner collectors simply acknowledge the fact they will lose...
Former military? That is where I got my occasional potty mouth (fingers) from. :(
That is what I would think. Hopefully they had some published references proving official mint product, since that is one of the least likely...
Are you taking into account simply inflation? I am not asking to take into account performance of an investment portfolio versus coins, (making...
Very true. Those who pursue knowledge rather than profit tend to know the coin series extremely well, usually better than almost all dealers....
Yeah, that is the game in physical pm. When the market goes down, they simply raise the premiums so buyers do not benefit. It always takes a while...
Myself, I have been around bullion dealers for a long time now, (since the 70's). I would trade last 2% price for quality, reliability and...
I agree, Barker is best. Heck, his is even the best book for explanation on how the Chinese, (and later others) cast their coins. Great writeup of...
Regarding the original question, sometimes life happens. I used to post more here, then I got a more demanding job, had two boys, and to top it...
My bad. Sorry. Excellent example of the silver issues. I swear the pic looks gold to me. :(
Gepid gold is truly rare. Lots of silver issues on the market the last year or two, they must have found a hoard. I haven't seen a gold for sale...
Is it though? I find it is freeing to not have to memorize meaningless numbers, instead allowing me to instead concentrate on real knowledge....
Most of these coins have been cleaned. This one should be straight graded, I have seen much worst not detail graded.
Better than average example. These are also known with rhino left and rhino right. I believe I own about 3 of each direction, so not sure if one...
One of my favorite coins. Rhinos are really rare on ancient coins, with only two main types known, the Domitian quadrans and the Trajan...
I thought they just opened it and it was not.
I agree, especially with your legal tender post. In fact, coinage used to be very limited even for legal tender. I am not sure if they still are...
Question: Where do all of you believe Late Roman coins begin? I was just wondering. I have seen some start with the tetrarchy, others with a...
Separate names with a comma.
