Hmm, so different than the Antiochus bust right/Archer imitations of Sogdiana? I am not sure I have seen other Zeus Sogdian for sale, but South...
It was just a random factiod published, not a published reference. These are listed under Alexander imitations, so it did not strike me as out of...
This is from the area around Kesh. It shows Hercules standing with club on the obverse, and Zeus seated on the reverse. Both are imitations of...
All of us were there sir. Collectively collectors might have destroyed more coins than circulation unfortunately. This is why I like we have...
Man, there are a lot of corroded, low end dregs out there. I truly feel sorry for whoever are buying these things and think its ok because, "well...
I think somewhere I have my first redbook. 1976 centennial edition, hardcover, (all were back then), and used so much the covers are detached....
I am somewhere in the middle. I like both types of books, both SNGs with no background just to check references, as well as more explanation type...

Lol. Yeah, I am on the tooled boat as well. I looked it over though since its always beneficial to see the somewhat more subtle hints other than...

I agree that one thing does not defend the other. However, to me the pawn store probably paid less than the listed price so they most likely made...
I have to disagree BU. Seriously, turn your argument around. No one forced the pawn shop owner to sell to the man, If you haev a problem with a...
Lol, yeah I love that guy. Home(r), like Harry Carey with the cubs, or the local announcers trying to sound like the Vikings aren't one of the...
I agree completely with BB4C. When buying, there are two different transactions. One with an expert and one with an amateur. If dealing with a...
First for foreign bullion? Come on, widen your horizons a little Ken. There is a whole wide world out there. Stop being a homer. :) Besides,...
My issue with it is to me it lowers the appearance of the coin. Maybe I am just goofy, (ok I know I am), but at least half the reason I like...
I agree John, that is about as nice as those get in my eyes.
