If you think there are lots of rare varieties I would highly suggest the two volume Cherrypickers guides. Look up dates in there and see what is...
Like @Conder101 said, not general reference book is NEARLY as complete as a specialty one. Anyone who does not believe me look at 18th or 19th...
I too have always had a thing for Venice. I would highly suggest John Julius Norwich's book on the city, as well as his 3 part series on...
The thing even better about books; they increase the enjoyment value you get from your coins. Just a couple of months ago I bought a coin from an...
I understand the sentiment, but disagree on this as advice for everyone. I bought my house to raise the family. I have no intention of living...
Maybe. I was just saying a theory I heard. If you go back to other Islamic issues, usually the first coins to depict an image were the base metal...
I believe the logic was that these were not PM, but token value, so they did not fall within the prohibition of graven images on coinage. Sayles...
Courts have ruled at times the debtor was being petty and capricious by trying to pay in cents. However, the principal holds. If you show up to...
Are you sure? I thought all gold and silver certificates were still legal currency, just no longer redeemable for PM but redeemable in other currency.
Nice coins. I have always had a special love of the Flowing hair design since it was from the start of the mint, same with the skinny chicken...
Exactly. Too many people do not get this. Once you incur a debt, they have to accept legal tender as payment. However, a store is free to sell...

Depends on what you consider US. If you start with Constitution, I believe the US is the only country to never demonetize any coins or currency,...
No, in fact offered to another member we should not try to step on each other's toes. I like them, but to be honest need to concentrate on the...
4 of them right? No sense comparing pockets, as we would both simply lose out of other coins. I lose Vahran II coins pretty often. I don't try to...
Great type, I only have an obol only, but not as nice as this. If I had't been so distracted with my Vahran II lead group, and the Ardashir of...
If I offended anyone I apologize. I have 40 plus years collecting experience, but am not an error collector per se.
Just clicked on the link to renew. It says I have to call (800)514-2646 for what its worth. I will try Tuesday.
I used to be the controller of a tier two auto manufacturer. We ran modern metal stamping machines, ( kind of like the mint). In the plant, there...
Very nice. Much scarcer than the inverted head issues from that city.
