Great to see you got the coin Mat. Its really cool when your specialized knowledge lets you get a great coin cheap. :)
I will review Berk's book again Doug with this objective. :) Btw, I completely agree about some of the masterpieces of Greek coinage. Many of...
But the other point was how it is NORMAL for Comex stocks to drop when prices decline. Yet the pm pushers are making this huge deal out of it,...
Please read and add to favorites if you are not familiar how the Comex markets work. I find this article an excellent primer to understanding this...
In response to Joe and Doug's posts, (which btw I meant no offense to Joe and appreciated him bringing this up as a subject), any coins to be...
I would agree its a jewelers copy. Details too mushy, and authentic pieces never marked .999, (and btw they wer not .999 gold).
I got mine for about $10 when the guy in KY was having clearances on Ebay. I had about eight of them actually, i think all but one are gone now....
Actually, if you read the history, the US raised the value of gold to be able to put more money in circulation. We were handicapped by the gold...
We do not know what they called their coins and fractions. The name for a 25 mm piece I have seen as either a Tetradrachm or a unit. Smaller ones...

I agree its tough. Most of the power of the variation of the lettering lost on us since its not our language. However, i view this similarly to...
Like Treehugger said, buy whatever you want. WHY do you think things like ASE' s are made? Because a ton of people wish to collect COINS, and...
I would contact Badthad and get a bottle of verdicare. Seems to work with my coins with BD.
Bluntly put, they have all been cleaned. Ancient gold does not necessarily have to be cleaned, but other metals do. Look up "horn silver" and see...
I am not one being asked to comment on coins, but I was asked concerning books. I couldn't volunteer, but after a few comments I was asked to...
Mike is giving you good advice. Especially on the bullion forum, you need to toughen up some. I miss Ruben, but he was one you REALLY had to get...
Bukhara from around the 7th-8th century. "Turco-Hepthalite" is a guess, since we are not sure who ruled this town then. We know the Hepthalites...
Yep. I do not collect ultra modern coins, so even my KM phonebooks are ten years old and I do not care. Whenever there is a new edition of a book...
