Exact mintages, some like 264,000 and 484,000 which should be familiar to many US collectors. Most of what I remember are relative mintages, like...
Its the "almost always" that I have a problem with I guess sir. "Many times", yeah I agree, "often times", probably, "almost always", no. I went...
Charles, yes, it appears to be an Anastasius. He was the one who reformed Byzantine coins to the Follis, half follis, etc scheme. Coins in...
I am not really for or against you on this thread Vic, I think you can see that in my previous post. One thing I would say about shows is the...
Lol, you too? My first redbook was the 1976 bicentennial edition, hardcover, (that is all they printed then). Those covers lasted about a year,...
Here is how I see it: [ATTACH] Maybe the "A" was intentionally hidden in the leaf design. It wouldn't be the first time for this. OTOH, it...
I have bought coins from both venues successfully. Just Sunday I went to a local show. I found a AE30 roman provincial coin. I paid $35 for it,...

Good place to learn what books are crucial to a series is by checking major dealer rederences and bibliographies.
Yes you do. There are a couple of good sized shows here a year, and even those usually have 2 partial ancient dealers a few world coin dealers. If...
Btw, you are right that an 1862 will be more of a nickel type of toning. Still, it should be normal old nickle looking versus the crazy colors of...
I agree, and its one of the oldest tricks in the book. Years ago AT was not done to make a premium coin, it was done to hide a problem coin. This...
I would have to disagree with you on the 1962 quarter sir. I literally have many just like this in junk silver tubes sitting in my SDB right now,...
They lost the money the second the market went down. The mentality they won't "lose" money until they sell is an erroneous one, but common...
Most likely NT. You can never "prove" it, of course. I say this because of a few reasons: 1. I have pulled hundreds of 1960-1964's out of sets...
Ok, ok, did someone pull the 2011 "wayback" lever? ;)
