Looks like a Ritz 50 at least to me from the pic.
I would agree that it had been cleaned and stripped of its patina earlier. Might have been some nastiness they were trying to remove from the coin.
I believe part of the weakness of pm has been the deal with Iran and general easing of oil prices. In many ways pm is storable oil, since it takes...
Great suggestions Guy. I agree all three are huge, often overlooked figures. Especially by us since they didn't make coins. I have always been a...
Who's cost of productio? Every mine can account for it differently. In some mines I would not be surprised if the cost is nearly zero. Btw, yes it...
Ok, fair enough then sir. I just read too many time people buy things they are unfamiliar with from a pawn shop or flea market. That just seems...
I am always too stupid to sell. I love coins, I love silver. Even when my mind screams at me to sell, I drag my feet.
Isn't that funny how it happens? Remember all of the "back up the truck if it ever is below $25" comments? Are they still backing that truck up...

Just like many here who find it odd people would sell "real money" pm for paper money? Kind of boils down to your definition of "real money" at...
I was on the wagon for a while, but fell off pretty badly today. I am picking one up tomorrow VK you might be very interested in. :)
I think if you like governmental bullion, "collecting" them is a wonderful idea with one caveat. Many start down that path, increase premiums, and...
IT professionals could answer better than I sir, but my understanding is its a diminishing return algorithm you solve. Basically, everytime one is...
Kind of reminds you of another frothy market a couple years ago, huh Mike? Now that its quieter I am buying some again. Not a lot, but a really...
I have to agree with the others, at best a overly cleaned, badly preserved orichalcum coin. These frequently are put into "uncleaned lots" with...
Yes, heaven forbid there is any correlation between this explosive growth and the Winklevoss twins getting into them and setting up securites...
I understand he was probably referring to about 2700 years ago in Lydia, I was just saying bars or gold, silver, and copper traded as durable...
Separate names with a comma.
