I would say because its only a 69, and 70's exist. One step down on common issues like high grade proofs can destroy a value. Almost any modern...
Exactly my frustration as well. Many PM websites like to talk about the dollar this, the dollar that, etc ad nauseum to get you to buy pm or...
Jusf keep your eyes open Zumbly, you will run across deals if you pay attention. I spotted an Ostrogothic bronze in a pile of byzantine junk once...
Its a gold tremissis of Theoderic. It copied a tremissis of Justin, so minted around 510ad. The Ostrogoths didn't dare strike gold in their own...
Nice "forgot about these" finds Jim! I am glad I am not the only one to forget about some cool coins he owns. :)

I hear what you are saying Christian, yet we never know what is common today will be valuable tomorrow, eh? I used to help a next door neighbor in...
Way too many children that I love to pick favorites. Most recent "favorites"? My avatar is a nice medival thai coin from the Lanna kingdom, about...
Looks like. Maybe someone besides me can start one that won't get hijacked, as I believe its still an important issue for people to study.

Sorry, but that is an utterly reprehensible statement. I was in the first gulf war, are you going to talk about MY "profits from killing" while...
