One other thing about gold coins is that most of them never did circulate much, in the sense we use it, resulting in very high grade old gold...
My tiny Croesus. A trihemiobol, I believe. It's not in great shape, but it's one of my favorite coins because of its history.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Entry Post. So good to see you back. May God keep you from dark places!
It is not so important where you start. If you like it, just start with what interests you. If you are buying, start with reputable dealers who...

I'm guessing the $900,000 is not the whole shipment, the first shipment, or the last shipment. The low denominations are advantageous to...

The answers above are entirely correct. However, I still think it is a pretty cool find! It does look like a bird sitting there. I'd keep it in...
