Yeah, wouldn't that be nice? Of course it doesn't mention the designers of anything prior to 1948. But it was the first thing I looked for...
The worst time I've had in a coin shop was when I found out that it wasn't at all like Burger King: I couldn't always have it my way. But...
A friend came across this old Korean Coin catalogue published in Korean in 1984. In it, I found the names of the designers listed for many...
What was your imaging set up (camera, etc)?
Wow. 1.78 billion.
This is the kind of experimentalism that I would love to see done by others to corroborate these findings, including "laboratories" with finer...
Thanks for sharing this piece. Interesting how the Ceylonese kind of faked the Persian writing, making it not readable. Was this a kind of...

Sure, real thieves are going to attempt steal, that much is true. And ratty, deteriorating 10X10s stacked on top of one another (seven, EIGHT...
It'd be interesting to find out if this particular seller, using this set up, actually HAS a theft problem. According to you, he should.
I thought those designs/engraving jobs looked a little... like NOT from an state-level mint. After reading the conversation here, and seeing...
I think you're wrong there, but this is mostly just a preference issue. We'd have to have it in front of us to see what it's like in real life....
True enough. But what is the point of an easily-accessible, open, and "clear-to-the-customer-this-is-what-I-have-here" display of sale items?...
