This "reattribution" is highly suspect by many serious researchers TBH. It is only from one, not so well respected, book. I collect coins of hers,...
One of my subcollections is sogdian, so F is a goal, not a settle for grade. Depends on what you collect and your budget really.
Really, any coin the general public knows would be candidates: 1. Cleopatra VII 2. Julius Caesar 3. Shekels of Tyre 4. Athenian Owls etc. The...
I agree. Terrific to have you here with your enthusiasm @Shrews1994 . A lot of us old men have seen it/done it all.
It is one of the "biggies" due to the mistake US numismitists made like 180 years ago. Coins should only be judged based upon a percentage of...
Hmm, pm would be much lower than my collection and books I imagine. I guess collection and books around 10%, and PM around 5%, (maybe less)....
Wow, not only doubled, but a rare 1955 D Proof 70! That must count for something [sarcasm off].

I agree diamonds are a very poor candidate for a currency. Not divisible readily and not fungible. However, a major point of item number 2 is...

Too many variable really. Best advice I would have is to build up your knowledge. Maybe check out sold items at Heritage and begin to learn why...
Yeah, this is the thing. Most PM believers are PM believers. Most never cash out when it spikes higher. The only thing I did was liquidate some...
While we all know how us feel about this man and his actions, it reaffirms the need to educate yourself about coins and not simply rely on the...
Not really according to my understanding. After their defeat at the hands of the Persian-Turkic alliance, they continued to hold isolated areas,...
I picked up a BU 1906 S double eagle yesterday for $1235. I thought it was a good deal.
Um, I believe he is correct that this is a Buddhist motif. I do not recognize it though, sorry OP.
1957=2500 Buddhist calendar. Remember this and the dating is simple. It works for other Buddhist countries as well.
I am with @Valentinian . I store mine in archival flips in boxes. With trays I always worried about what sliding around would do to them, but its...
Since I am so horrible taking pics of coins, I always thought I should figure out a way to videotape me going into the SDB and opening up boxes....
