I would say similar except to store with fresh silver coins like ASE's instead. The ASE will start to tone if something is going wrong, and its...
No issue TIF. Everyone has coins that speak to them, and coins that don't. That is what is great about this hobby, we all don't have the same...
Nice coin. The Cash type coins without the sogdian calligraphy are definitely scarcer than the ones with the long calligraphy. Here is a paikend...
:D Ask anyone here. I talk about Sogdia as much as I dare, I am sure most ancient collectors here are sick of me talking about it, (except for AN...
Yes, its Darius. Its the first sigloi produced, that of a half figure of the king. 99.9% of all Persian sigloi you will ever see will be the full...
Like Rick said, they leave the mint in bags or carts. If the mint rolled them your point about errors would be valid. I imagine the people who DO...
