I think Krause is not perfect because then no one would buy specialty books for ridiculous prices, lol. I mean, if a book existed that you can...
All the more reason to get a good microscope and get familiarized with forensic coin analysis. Under 200x magnification the difference between a...
It's exactly what you think, an emergency local issue coin. Like German notgeld and kriegsgeld pieces of the same time, most are relatively...
The thinner Madonna with child is found on Hungarian thalers, but the shield side of the coin you referenced only came into use a few years later...
Isn't it obvious? To avoid a huge backlash. Many people in this country still believe in gold.

Ha! That is awesome. Cheers! :cheers:
My local dealer here in Brooklyn buys silver at $1 per ounce below current melt. He goes the very high volume and low profit margin route, but the...

Beer and big guns are also pretty. [IMG] Cheers! :cheers:
I feel you man. I did similar work for Phil Weiss out here in NYC. I guess the point I was trying to make is that getting good leads is no excuse...

While you're at it, why not ask "where can I still buy US silver at 10x face value?" I can't believe people still post this stuff! :foot-mouth:
Plenty of times. Luckily the cleaning lady always finds them under something. Kiss
The vast majority are fairly inexpensive, and would be more trouble than it's worth to fake them in a comparable quality and porcelain. The reason...
With certain foreign coins these die polish lines can be a good sign. For example Swiss specimen issues or British India proof-like restrikes....
Probably just cutting costs. I can't imagine ANACS getting nearly as many submissions as are NGC and PCGS now-a-days. At least, not based on what...
Separate names with a comma.
