So your answer, as a newbie here, is to insult my historically accurate post and me personally? What are you nine? Your immediate response to a...
Used as a currency for thousands of years? No, that is not true. It's been used as a basis for barter, but currency has to have stated value,...
And you have not quoted one pm based one. A Roman denari was worth more than its silver value, and when the Romans fell so did their coinage...
I know man. I debated on whether to join this thread, it just started sounding very 2011'y. :)
:) you know I am not trying to rub anything in Ken. All assets have their place. In fact, I am buying gold right now for something to do. I would...
Yeah, poor me who bought farmland 20 years ago, and stocks in 2009. I sure was dumb to not buy silver instead. Excusee while I go to the bank to...
Name one monetary system backed by pm that survived. Remember, almost every coinage system had a higher value on the coin than the pm was worth....
Bingo. Its a PART of a diversified portfolio. As for the "manipulation" stuff, most of that "information" you will find is truly garbage if you...
How the heck do you get that rubbish in your head? So NOTHING in the world affect pm prices other than US monetary policy? Not jewelry demand in...
1. Of course there are toned ASE's. Unfortunately I didn't store some of my 1986's I bought in 1986 properly, and they are now toned. (Natural)...
Yes, I was referring to the blob of metal under the bust on the obverse. Do you recall seeing such a cutoff?
Its like choosing children man. I could pic my avatar coin, (actually I own about 20 of these now), or one of 200 other "favorites". I am an...
The only thing that looks weird to me it the "broken" bust. Usually the cutoff on a bust is clean, I cannot recall ever seeing one like that.
I just wish I could get a cut of the action. Seems to me getting paid to neither buy nor sell coins, just "comment", is a great gig if you can get...
Yeah, black is a tough color. Not that I know how to photograph coins, nor have the time or inclination to do so, but I tried once on a glossy...
Well, at least its better he didn't look like a clown. Even as a 4 year old, and to this day, clowns creep me out.
I would second that guess. Untypical toning for a coin with pristine surfaces, but fairly common on messed with coins. I would go with previously...
Why is he a clown sir? $1 a piece is about the going rate for IHCs, so it didn't seem he is out of line. Maybe he just misunderstood what you were...
Yeah, pretty stupid of him calling out the fact he was ethnically different than most Jews, and then defiling their temple with this fact. :(
If you wanted to own it, there is nothing wrong with not saying anything and just winning the auction. If you don't wish to win it, I would tell...
Separate names with a comma.
