It is not offered for nothing. It is easier for banks to deal with than checks. Zelle is an alternative to old-style checks. Think how much easier...
I was not interested in that coin, but I can see why others would be. The reverse is VICTORIA GERMANICA. It is RIC (IV, part III) 154, "R2". If...
Magnificent!
If you collect Roman Imperial coins one way to organize them is to use Sear's numbering in his five volumes. For each emperor he lists coins by...
The Berk/England catalog has very good photos. I think it is Berk #4 you are thinking of where the catalog is all Byzantine AE with poor photos....
I got out my earphones and did the interactive investigation for 25 minutes like they said it would take. It was worth it. I agree with the...
The coins at the top of this thread are in wonderful condition, unlike mine! I have Sear 1977 in two sizes: [ATTACH] Sear 1977 19 mm. 2.41 grams...

I am a big fan of books. Yes, you can get a lot from web sources alone, but I still think books pay for themselves many times over (with knowledge...
I agree. Every time I win in a European auction I compute the ratio of the dollars I actually pay to the total hammer price and make a note of it...
This is true, but I think only at the very top end. The one tenth of 1% are doing very well and they want the best--which they find at Triton and...
I don't know about that. If you worked at engraving the portrait of Didius Julianus all day every day for the better part of two months and 5 days...
