Hormizd is a ruler that were the source material for a lot of Hunnic imitations. However, all of them I have seen and own have countermarks on...
Always good to see these stories, yet I disagree it is the future of coin collecting. Some young kids always take up the hobby, and some more or...
I would argue there were many causes of 2008. One I wrote about for my final MBA paper when I specialized in securitization. It was that bad paper...
I agree, never any harm with honest disagreements. My problem with the idea of bank price fixing is that there are larger fish than the banks. If...
Many find this confusing. I reject the notion that silver is "fixed". What I view as happening is that silver today is a byproduct metal. As long...
