I have to agree with others. Has all of the looks of a fake. However, with enough due diligence I could be convinced it was real and simply had a...
Like my collecting tastes, it is varied. I can appreciate most music, but big band, early country/western, most rap is just not my taste. I think...
Just some, but don't have a lot of albums anyway. I have easy things like Roosevelts, Franklins, Jeffs, in BU. However, I quickly moved into older...
No doubt, especially with PM coins. I always look at weight more than size, especially AR and AU. Flan size can simply be a matter of how hard the...
Eh, this is the reason I go with math when describing my coins. I use AR, (AE, or AU) and size in mm. Too many standard floating around, I do not...

I understand, but by the time these civilizations used them extensively in trade they became so small and thin as to be useless for any other...
Roman coins are very common in harbors in North America due to ship ballast being dumped. Much of where they dug up the ballast in Europe was soil...
I bet @dougsmit regrets posting his here years ago. Seems like most of the group has jumped on board with how cool they are. I don't have one...
