I agree that you did the right thing by buying it. However, if you didn't I do not believe the dealer should have any right to be upset. A dealer...
Eh, I simply don't mind helping out new members. I understand a large percentage of people come here just to find out what they have, but that is...
Yeah, I thought about that. I simply do not know a way around it. If random is random, then if someone wanted to game the system and place large...
Excellent thread Paul. I agree, in hand is the best way always to see what a coin is. However, if you see enough in hand, you can learn to spot...
SO basically a P, S, or T in exergue is what to look for on a Postumus coin? I see most are on tight flans, so most of the time "Equite" would not...
How do you tell its not a Postumus coin?

Yes, its a quaint little catchy catchphrase I am sure was thought up by physical PM sellers. I would never own a long term position in PM on...
Nice pickup John. I like the Levant as well. If I had more areas I could concentrate on, it would be top of my list. The pre-Roman period of this...
That is fair. There was not a lot available because the price decline was so steep. I would postulate that had it lasted longer at $9 there would...
True. If I find $40-50 FV of junk silver at a good premium, and I like the coins, buying in this market doesn't bother me. However, for a monster...
Everyone has a strike price in their head. This price could be at where they believe pm is at fair value, or a certain amount below fair value....
Great work guys! I hadn' thought about a dryer, but I guess in a way its a lot like a roller vice. I will remember this.
I just wish Medjoy would post here so I could "like" that post as well. :)
