My biggest problem is not Pecunem today, it was forgetting my password while trying to bid from my phone in Roma yesterday. I was thinking of...
I saw the cartoon link of Justinian and Theodora. She was an exceptional woman and exceptionally devoted wife. She has a very famous quote about...
Of course we cannot say for sure, but it's happened 100% of the time the last 40 years, so pretty sure. Not until new cheap supply comes onto the...
I agree earlier world coins, just like early US coins, are simply filled with varieties most collectors will never know about. US coins have been...
I agree, which is exactly the opposite of what it should be. Small investor sentiment is weird, its always chasing what is "hot". Long term...
Maybe the experts say it's not true but I removed about ten glass windows from a 1840's farmhouse. Every single one had much thinner glass at the...
Of course glass flows. Look at any old window and you will see that. However, think how thsee were buried. They were supported in all directions,...

...and your personal satisfaction is much, much, more than you ever paid. :) Personally, I simply do not care. My heirs will worry about it. Its...

I should have said that too. Sometimes its fun to simply pull out something like a bag of indian head cents, or a couple hundred face of junk...
So I was wasting time in bed a couple of nights ago, and was watching Coin Vault. They had on there coins with a Star Trek theme. They were one of...
When it comes to seeing if a coin is a fake, here is my process: 1. Try to find match in published collections like BM. 2. Look to see if there...
The only danger I could see would not be from the acetone, but what happens after the acetone removes the organic compounds. Lets talk about a red...
Read books, research new areas of numismatics, and go through piles I have bought before. If I really get desperate I go to the sdb and pull out a...
Of course no photos, but weren't there hand hammered Moroccan coins from the late 1800's? I have a few from lots and the like, and was shocked...
