Jesse, the no mintmark error was only for proof cents, struck for special sets sold only to collectors. You do not find such cents in circulation....
Problem is, how do you know? The 7th century was one of turmoil. Constans II coins run the gamut of well struck imperial issues, cruddy imperial...
I saw the auction, and chose the Vahran II I posted earlier instead of the Zamasp.
No idea sir. However, remember Japan has always been PT heavy jewelry, China is moving that way. Most of the rest of Asia is very heavily gold...
I have been looking to buy sterling, (silverware set most likely). I know when you sell sterling its back of melt due to costs to refine. However,...
Because it was the last of the hyper inflation notes. Those notes are populare due to number of zeros and the fact they are in "dollars". Everyone...
I also would say BD. Contact @BadThad and get a large bottle of his product to combat this stuff. I have seen it before on Indo-scythian silver...

I collect Constantine VII coins because in his reign the first coins I have found with the name Christopher were struck in gold and silver. Well,...
You are like me sir. I feel the exact same way. I loath the idea of trading a precious coin for something as mundane as money, but am somewhat am...
So you think only the introduction of the APE has caused palladium to spike so much? If so, I am not interested at all. What happens when these...
I would say the koalas are less desirable in this way than the pandas. I have bought many older koalas over the years with no premium, so I do not...
I agree. Silver pandas are my answer to someone asking me what would I recommend as a "bullion" coin with highest chance of going up. They really...
Speak for yourself. :) I am a CPA, and have worked on government panels with the IRS. For purchases, the IRS generally accepts contemporaneous...
I would generally agree with this. If you can buy "junk" silver for the same money, choose coins that have the highest chance of being collectible...
Regarding the OP's question, I think the key for 2018 will be USD versus world currencies and other asian countries response to crypto currencies....
