Cool coin OP. I have a couple. I have the Hispania one with a little bunny down on the bottom of the coin. One of my favorite Hadrians. Sorry, no pic.
Good point about post mint, since I would guess 99 percent of toning on coins today was caused post mint. The mint holding silver dollars was an...
Not most from what I saw. Most were blast white, with the ones on the canvas taking the toning hit for the most part. I saw a number of original...
I would love to own more platinum, but the premiums are simply sky high. If I could buy platinum coins near spot, I would probably own 10 ounces....
But they haven't really. If you are talking about Morgans, most were in vaults in bags until the 1950's or 60's. As such, the vast majority only...
I mostly agree, but do believe it can be stopped. However, once toning is on a coin, its much more liable to have MORE toning. So, therefor, its...
You need a dvaravati and Lanna specimen too Anoob. :) Nice collection. Mine is similar.
I agree, but if one looks at historical correlations you do see a trend that PM does not have the same return path as stocks, bonds, or some other...
I would agree. Its been a long while since I have gotten one, I forgot how they are pretty heavy handed.
I believe if you look at total return volatility, (if you buy into the notion that volatility equates to risk, which I do not totally but another...
I would suspect sir Peter, just like the ANA Board, has looked at his moderators and has found them to operating as he desires them to. I suspect...
I understand sir. The PM section was created, if I remember correctly, specifically to isolate such posts from the rest of CT. I very much agree...
Sorry, but I disagree vigorously. The PM section has a nasty habit of very quickly escalating into political debates, which serve no one. Being an...
[ATTACH] The black marks are around an attempted hole someone made in antiquity. I haven't decided if I want to attempt to remove the black stuff...
For US coins, I have held 1907 UHR St Gauden. For Ancients, I own a Central Asian imitation of a Byzantine gold coin that is unique as far as the...
I can't help but wonder why the owner kept such a collection at home. I wish he gets it back, and hope they hang the thief by the short hairs, but...
Almost all places I have ever seen pricing in grams do so to hose the consumer. The gram price, (again from what I have seen), is always in the...
As a proboscis generously endowed individual, I say its a lovely portrait!
I think they are relatively valued right now. Maybe a touch high from people unable to get returns anywhere stocking up some, but based upon 40...
Very cool piece sir.
Separate names with a comma.
