Aw, come on, we got "Mughal", right? We were in the ballpark. :) Btw, thanks for the attribution. I admit I just cannot get much traction on...
I agree with Doug. No ancient coins were white gold, so whoever said that is lying to you. The coin pictured looks like a silver Mughal piece....
The MA thaler is a fair point, but Venetian coins as well as Dutch had been also restruck for many years. My point was not that the Krugerrand was...
His user name is Amphoracoins. Nice man, nice dealer. He literally wrote the book on Jewish Coins. If it weren't for biblical references, these...
As far as hoards go, it's been proven leptons and prutah, circulated during Jesus' lifetime even though they were minted a century earlier. If...
Sorry, but I am not buying the "for type" argument. I came into ancients because they did away with all of the "weak strike", "worn dies" and...
Holy ripoff, NGC Fail both on grade and identification, Batman! First, only leptons are the "widow's mites", not prutah. In ancient greek bibles...
I was giving John crap, I take no "blame" whatsoever. John came in, saw what was interesting to him, and ran with it. I really enjoy seeing him...

Didn't Mexico even start their Onza program in gold first? I am not saying they shouldn't take credit for making them silver, just saying they got...
IDK. I think I would still give credit to South Africa for coming out with a one troy ounce coin, (theirs was gold). I think that is the true...
Nice coin and writeup. The one piece of Arab-(fill in the blank) coin I am missing is the Arab-Sogdian cash piece. I have only seen one for sale...
You have received some good answers Revi. JPM is the market maker. Someone has to be. If not them, then maybe a hedge fund in the future will be...
Eh, they are cheap. As a metal play the markup over spot is simply outrageous so it is silly for that purpose. However, for a cheap example of a...
Yeah, I do that with all shows, even ones about the ancient world. My most period correct seen was from the series Rome where the doctor examined...
