Yes, the Silver Roos measure in at 40.6mm, which makes them tricky. I do have at least one of them in a 40mm AirTite, and it seemed to work. I...
You should definitely read, as others have suggested, but you won't get the full psychological effect of a coin, a type, a series or this hobby...
Japan has created some beautiful coins, but none quite so gorgeous as the 1 Yen Meiji-era Dragon. The complex yet harmonious elements of the...
I paid exactly $50.00 for this Nero Hemidrachm in a Colorado coin shop (I posted this on the ancients forum last summer). [IMG] One can find...
I paid just around $10 for this big juicy Vicky cent. The poor lass does suffer from some scuffing on her face, but otherwise I quite like it....
Going on the pictures alone, both appear to be 一分銀 ("Ichi Bu Gin" or "1 Bu Silver") minted from roughly 1837 to 1868. The borders on both sides...
Coinage involves acts of Congress and, as already suggested, the mint overall turns a profit and by law they need to mint cents, nickels, dimes,...
Like everyone else, I would say French or British (though I lean more towards British), but such a small photo of one side of such a worn coin is...
I also have one of these. Though people refer to them as "Mexico Gold Fantasies," there's nothing magical or really fantastic about them. They...
A 2-cent piece collection, interesting. I've always found those coins fascinating, but have only ever owned one, which sadly exited my life in a...
Hm. I do remember feeling confused by the 2016 Krause North America guide (the one with US, Mexican and Canadian coins). At one point it stated...
Hm. From the picture it looks dodgy to me... but the picture might also be dodgy... the color behind and under the ring makes me nervous, but it's...
I've got nothing whatsoever coming in the mail. I don't think I've actually ordered a single thing this year yet. I may have to change that...
Given the size, the coin dated 1565 looks like an Elizabeth I shilling. What does the obverse look like? It probably looks something like this:...
Pesky quality often gets in the way of profits, after all... A very striking piece, indeed. All I can say is "yowza!" And I don't say that lightly...
I have 1 follower and I didn't even know it. Does that qualify as a social movement? I actually didn't know such functionality existed here until...
I was going to become a supporter, but then I saw that awesome cow puzzle... I just may take the plunge. I find myself coming here quite a bit...
I used to draw comics. One was published in a book and many others found their way into blogs and presentations (most people would contact me...
I also put all of my bullion in Air-Tites, except for those that arrive in sealed mint packages. They seem safe and snug in those little things,...
I use nothing on a cell phone, but on my large-screened computer I use the internet (goldprice.com & silverprice.com, for example) with the free...
