My reference about the Silk Road was more knowledge sharing than the physical coins making their way across it. The great advantage the old world...
Gold basically tracks purchase power long term. Some good become cheaper or more expensive over time, but $20 in 1900 is about $1800 today...
Lol, now in this one I don't see a "line". :) Pretty coin.
Its all about buyers. I know sellers are somewhat important, but you can have the greatest site in the world, and without buyers no one makes...
Sure hope short term $3000 an ounce is not normal, let alone $10k. Most of my money is real estate and stocks, and $10k gold is telling me my main...
I would say they are missing out sir. I love my foreign gold. Buying real coins used for commerce at gold melt prices? What could be better? I...
I saw that, and see the gold. I am talking about a dark streak cutting across her lower nose and middle of her cheek. Could very well be on...
Eh, more people than you think could pull the trigger if they liked the coin. I can think of quite a few here who could buy it, and don't think...
My guess would be Alexander. He started the coinage tradition in the area, and then being along the Silk Road southern branch into India, the idea...
I have some of those on DVD from years ago. I will have to check it our sir, thank you.
I wish I had a better closeup of the obverse. It appears to me something on the face, but cannot see well. The reverse is a good 65/66, but...
Interesting post. I guess it makes more sense now why he struck my Great Sphinx coin. [ATTACH] Only Domitian and Hadrian, (the great world...
There is a thin white book of Khazars I have floating around my library somewhere. Yeah, I always thought the story was made up after the fact....
The triangle within a circle is the mintmark of Ai Khanoum. This coin is interesting to me, since it is the prototype to a very long series of...
I am close, but I learned: BU = 60-62 Select/Choice BU = 63-64 Gem BU = 65-66 Superb Gem BU = 67+ I think this came from ANA grading standards...
It's not a one way street. I am a cash buyer of odd things like 1 gram palladium, 1/20th ounce pieces, etc. as well as St Gaudens and other...
Nice looking product, but I don't know.
I will go with NT. I have seen such coins come out of original hoards in a humid but sulfur poor environments. Same environment but sulfur rich...
I got what you meant, but my point is if I were a collector for a rarer Morgan date, and what was offered looked very much out of the ordinary, I...
All morgans are heavily faked. If you are going to buy a Morgan over $100 and don't know what you are doing, you should buy certified. Better...
