Just like anyone who thinks they are always right is a fool, anyone who thinks there is not a lot left to learn is foolish. I know I am wrong on...
Knowledge is just not power, its also the fun. If I have a bronze roman coin I know nothing about, its kind of cool. However, if I know its from...
Yeah, but most people who read CT are not members. It doesn't hurt for them to read critical reviews of current articles being written, no? ;) I...
I am not even commenting on whether pm is a decent deal at these prices at all. I have actually been buying, (until, that is, we decided to buy a...

I learned about: 1.How early US proofs can have widely variable toning based upon the photo. Never trust a photo of a tone 19th century proof,...
Btw MyHobby, yeah, GDJMSP(Doug) is pretty modest...... ;) Seriously, Doug has been the backbone of this site for over a decade. There is precious...
Of course. I said in many ways. In many ways they are not, :)
How would you get that? In many ways Roman coins are more boring, due to their sheer number, than most other coins. The condition is this coins...

It happens a lot with numismatic books. I buy a lot of books, especially older, out of print books. I always find outrageously priced copies for...
I simply do not understand why a grading guide specific to UK coins is needed. I have always graded all world coins similarly.
7.5 trillion might be all of the gold in the world, but how much is for sale? Most physically cannot/will not be sold. I have my wedding ring,...
Vlaha, personally I would just not post current auctions. I know you didn't want to bid on this coin necessarily, but what if others on CT WERE...
Well, I have about 18 boxes of flips of coins in the sdb. Those are of "better" coins. So when I am interested in a particular series I pull those...
