Really? I can't believe that: I thought ALL cistophorii were worth $80,000? [ATTACH] Technically I 'planned' to bid on this one but didn't as it...
My brain is not functioning too well these days as I've been {un} officially diagnosed with Alzheimer's {by my ex-wife}. Nonetheless weren't...
Around the time this medal was made Bavaria was acting quite independently of the German Weimer Republic. In 1923 Hitler was sentenced for his...
I liked it better raw. Of course a 2x2 holder with staples is very dangerous for coin storage. Perhaps a custom plastic holder would be nice...
I bid on a Classic Head quarter eagle but was outbid. You'd think they'd be half the price of the half eagles but apparently not. I may try...
Thanks very much for the additional info talerman. I'll check various European auctions more carefully despite their lack of indexing. I also...

I participated live in Heritage's Pernambucana Sale Thursday; May 6th and was outbid on virtually everything. The sale was exclusively Brazil &...

Actually, I've a 1560/1561 undated that I bought from Frank Robinson many years ago. It has a small nick but otherwise is a F or VF. I bought it...
As it turns out I've only two. Both are from 1824, one from the Mexico City mint and one from the Durango mint. Aside from the mint marks,...
