I wouldn't worry about getting silver bars. If you want .999 instead of .90 purity, simply get ASE's. Much easier to sell if you need to, plus the...
Metal flow. Check out the layout of both sides of the coin.
My only objections to the coin versus the sellers pics would be the reverse scratches in the fields. If those bother you, I would say there is...
Predicting $2400+ gold price by next summer. Oh happy days that our "expert" everyone loves to quote is back on the prognosticating bandwagon. Its...
Mine looks pretty similar. I just got an inexpensive example off of Frank Robinson's bargain list one time to say I had one. If I collected Romans...
I hear you, but if that innocuous possibly old light cleaning gives that coin a details grade, something is seriously wrong. The only issue to me...
I believe its the camera lens or angle the coin is tilted Tim if i had to guess. I would agree probably light cleaning. I would also say the rim...
No sir not at all. I was bemoaning i only own a vesta reverse earlier. I simply came back to this thread, was reading it, and for some reason was...
Cool set Lindadad. I bet the type two and three was not easy. I saw a similar set a few weeks ago, though missing the type two. I didn't dare ask...
Lol. Something just struck me as funny. Here we are bemoaning we "only" own a vesta example of an authentic Caligula coin. A coin that probably 99...
Looks fine to me. Very scarce piece, congrats Matt. When I was collecting those I never had one offered for sale to me, (at least one my my...
Can they open a SDB ilegally? Yes, but can they search yoru home illegally? Yes. I am simply saying I do not agree with, "if you don't hold it you...
Sorry to hear it sir. On the plus side, numismatics is an area which you can continue to enjoy and learn regardless of whether you hold the coins...
They are the ones sir who put that spin on it. I support the notion that you should physically have the pm, I am agains the notion that this...
I wander around the market, sometimes not in the mood to buy. However, in the last couple of months, I have bought a double eagle, two eagles, 4...
Well, even old Mexican half reales, which used to be darn close to spot, are bringing better money nowadays if not holed. I simply cannot think of...
Only ones I can think of, (short of truly junk, ag, damaged pieces), would be Maria Theresa restrikes. They have a date in the 1700's, though have...
Exactly. This is why I rail against the notion, "if its not in your home you don't own it". How is this working out for this poor unfortunate...
You can get late roman coins minted 1600 years ago all day long for a few dollars. Heck, get some wuzhu chinese coins minted 2000 years ago for a...
Just wondering where the heck this comment or euphemism comes from. Please tell me where and when, (short of communist revolution or something),...
Separate names with a comma.
