I find older issues interesting. I especially like the silver 5 cent pieces. Elizabeth simply destroys the coin for me, too monotonous. I feel the...
IDK man. I would think Secret Service might have a problem with this. Isn't it awfully close to actual currency, same color, designs, "security...
Wonder how they know this is lead. I have seen many Roman Egypt with that "look" for tets given they are debased silver. Heck, I bought a group...
Yes. Fourree cores are known uses for lead, though usually not for silver since lead weighs more than silver. Certainly a lead alloy would be...
I know you are joking, but a TON of people already DID plant them. Are they that stupid? Good gosh.
Yeah, I forgot about the prutot issues. I knew about Indian and Chinese issues, but most here do not collect those. I think the Chinese are mainly...
Yeah, I read the same. Talk about weird, like North Korea news weird. I am looking forward to see if they have infections, or just what is going on.
I don't know the other story sir, but do you believe Omega is related to Lebanese issues, and they simply got better? I believe I heard that as an...
Trying to play the, "the mint is making less of this one than the previous one, so this one will be the key and valuable" game is mostly a loser...
I have to agree with everyone else. I think its much more interesting left in the set to most people. An advanced collector desiring this has no...
No, not something your weird nephew is into, though it is one of the coolest band names I can think of. This is about heavy metal, lead. Lead was...
Well, early Sasanian coins, made by his father, were known to have started off as hammered out older issues. As well, I have seen a medieval...
Wow, another one I didn't know existed. I will have to keep an eye open for one!
Usually when a nation strikes massively debased coinage it is because of major stress, enemy at gates, losing a major war, famine, etc. I have...
The Indo-Parthian dynasty was founded by a Suren, (one of the great Parthian families), who rebelled against the Parthian king in western India/SE...
Hate to say it, but Maple leaf. More marketable than the others in the US. Kruggerands still have the "aparthied" slime about them some, and the...
I cannot remember for certain. Did we ever have any evidence if the Omega fakes were related to Lebanese fakes? There was a large industry faking...
I am jealous. I have a few group lots of those, but need more. I simply run out of time chasing everyting that interests me, but I do truly love...
I agree. I own some ballerinas and have to say Pd is an ugly coin metal. It has already been announced that some major users are switching back to...
I will grant that I MAY be biased since I am like a 14th cousin of Ben Franklin and didn't appreciate him kicked off the coin. :( Some say I have...
