Man, impressive collection @Pellinore!
What I was reading was that random passages would note villages speaking Gothic were located in the area during medieval times, including on the...
On the world stage, the Goths first appeared around the northern shores of the Black Sea around the second century AD. From there, their...
I have been thinking about this for a while. I go to shows and see some vendors selling bullets made of silver. They do not appear to be...
While I understand how those who do not trust the government may like that aspect of bitcoins, almost everyone here who does not trust the...
I agree with others. ALL ancient coin collectors have bought fakes. If an ancient collector tells you they have never bought a fake it means s/he...
This is me. I am dedicating my retirement to going through my coins. Right now, I try to get them in a flip, keeping any seller info I get with...

No freaking clue to be honest. :( Heck, I really do not know what I own really. I keep buying pillar dollars thinking "I always wanted one of...
More people need to understand this. Following USD trending answers a lot of seeming random noise.
Sorry, I though you were posting them because you actually thought the emperor was Feng Shui, and they were authentic coins. If either of those...

Bag collecting was in its heyday about this time. Many coin collectors thought putting bags of new coins away was a smart financial move. Nothing...
