Price of all sorts of assets, like stocks, bitcoins, houses, etc are soaring due to loose money around the world. Money is not worth much in terms...
Mine was a VG WL half dollar my mom had in an old plastic "bank" under her bed. I quickly figured out how to burglar it so I could see this coin...
I would probably not be at summer FUN, but maybe the winter one. Not that I am an expert in most series, just been around a while now. Forums are...
Maybe I got my attitude in the Gulf War. :)
Yeah, but if you get in a twist over this, you will simply have a miserable hobby experience. Don't get too invested in a coin until its in your...
I have seen this before sir, when the collector only bought recently found "shiny" silver coins but then they all toned together in their...
Fakes are always a concern. If you find coins that look like they are worth a little more, good photos will help us. I would agree with XF40. It...
Point taken that forums can always be too quick to judge a coin a fake. To be fair a little, it depends on the photograph. Anything I say on a...
Life is too short to worry about stuff like that man. He had it listed, he misplaced it. If he truly didn't want to sell it why would he have...
Good to know sir. Thank you.
Wow, wonder how I missed this thread. Very interesting. I never knew Vahran V was technically Jewish. I did know he reclaimed his father and...

Well stated. I find I learn the most from those who know and admit they have fakes. Everyone in ancients just need to accept its impossible to...
Good books are your friend. What I like to do, since not a lot of date collectors of US gold unlike other issues, is get a little better date for...
I agree with others. No way the look of that IHC is natural. It had to be messed with some way. For verification OP, go look at a site like GC,...
It depends. Like I said, I have lots of 1/10th and 1/20th ouncers I have bought at melt. Therefore that dealer paid less. If you do your due...
We all have them. Heck, I have maybe 30 that is in a "grey" cabinet, coins I cannot prove one way or the other. Piles of fakes are a function of...
Fair enough sir. I am sorry if it came off poorly. I honestly was doing it on purpose, trying to scare the OP away from trying to take chances on...
