Maybe I am just dumb. I have been buying pm for 35 years, and I still get nervous as heck about the newer fakes. Especially silver, whose specific...
I do this with my coins. I fill up a box, and when say Roman Imperial, Sogdian, or a Hunnic box is full start another one. I will be honest I pay...
Yeah, that mint, when they went back and struck older coins and completely hosed their customers really jumped the shark for me. I would never...
I agree. I look at this period occasionally for examples for my "art neavou(sp?)" Mini collection. I should keep an eye out for these.
Yeah, where to begin. First, nomenclature. Usually ancient coins means from ancient greek to the end of the roman empire, (sometimes Byzantine...
Yes. Most woods are horrible for coins, with oak being one of the worst. Of course, any wood with any stain or finish is bad. About the only wood...
I don't have a great answer. I used to do albums but they got too heavy/bulky so I just switched to flips in boxes. Fill a box, take it to the sdb...
Interesting topic. Sometimes I do like just pulling out "favorites" and looking them over. My problem is my "favorites" change depending on my...
Lol, please do not count on me there. Those Romans were a one time thing. My wife knew I bought them, (mistake number one), and I honestly was...
Maybe, but my recommendation was based upon current mintages. I simply view panda demand, (just as important as supply), as being higher than most...
I think the 7070 was put together as an achievable type set. That is why some great rarities, which for 99% of collectors would never be filled,...
Well, since this question was about silver coins, then no. The silver fakes though are being made of just very high quality and in huge...
I would agree with the pandas for a few reasons. One, they are cute. Two, the design changes every year. Three, I know from experience many asian...
Cool. I always liked this two coin set. I think I only have one antelope, but being a thai and a rhino collector have quite a few rhinos. :)
Thanks Bill, but you do that you might be one of 4 or 5 people in the US that would even recognize this coin in a junk box, right? :) Its not a...
Kind of an important coin for me. Its a Sogdian Kai Yuan Tong Bao with Bukhara tamgha on the reverse. [ATTACH] This is the coin that connects...
One of the most well read, personable, and respected coin book dealers has passed away. John Burns passed away in his hotel Friday night during...
I have found your list except the barber dime, but plus 90% Kennedy and WL half. The only reason I found the silver halves was from bags in the...
I think I figured out why we have so much fun. Its because we are still kind of amazed we are actually able to own these wonderful pieces of...
Btw, for anyone interested in ancient judean coinage, David Hendin's book is the best. I believe its in its fourth edition.
