I like the coin. Its actually in better shape than most Cilician bronzes. Nice coin. :)
Except, unfortunately, much of that money goes into the business down the street that employs your neighbor, your father, or maybe even you. Some...
Sorry, it was a joke. Doug and I have somewhat similar opinions of tpgs at times.
If you are counting qe, maybe, but I think that is unfair. As a transaction, the taxpayers will make tens or hundreds of billions on the financial...
Dang nice coin. Have you reseaarched to see if proofs were even made? This coin is definitely proof or prooflike. NGC usually is pretty decent at...
I have never, ever said I have been in favor of bailouts. None. I am talking about the market function generically of investment banks. Even...
I have better things to do than read 7 pages of a thread HOPING to get what you wish for me from it. No, its not laziness on my part, but laziness...
My best performing stock ever has been LVS, a Vegas casino with tons of casinos in Asia. I agree, human nature is human nature, and it will...

Well for myself I do not see what Doug saw, excpet the few darker feathers on the eagles breast. This very well is probably from the angle of the...
IDK, maybe 25. I am lucky there are a few monthly shows around here, and I try to hit 4-5 larger shows each year.
Well, first I asked Doug where he was seeing it, so I never claimed the coin was AU at all. However, I do nto believe saying people have "no...
So, exactly how does anyone prove this wear is not from circulation? How is it proven this wear is from a cabinet and not from someone's pants...
Btw, back to the coin, I want to commend Matt for posting it. I know I wouldn't be very happy hearing people point out disagreements with such a...
