You will usually find books on GB coins going back to around the time of the Norman invasion. Anything earlier than that and it becomes more of a...
GB has their own versions of the US Redbook. There are a couple actually. They are published annually. Coincraft is one I own I believe.
I find it about 50/50 for me Doug, meaning half I preferred the upper photo, half the lower. The Gratian is the worst of the lower photos, and the...
Nice pickup. I started in on Seleukid coins years ago, got sidetracked by the breakaway kingdoms in central asia, and kind of never got back to them.
Oh yeah. Why do you think Peter moved us to our own little dark corner. It wasn't for our benefit, it was to keep us away from the civilized...
I can't quite tell. Is this one of those that was printed with an ink jet printer? I remember a year ago or more a good diagnostic of the slab was...
I think its a good topic as well. I do believe way too many people do not understand why a dealer offers what they do, and if you understand that...
Any chance of Azileses? But yeah, Indo-scythian and not Kushan. Btw, did you notice the horse's head? Doesn't that look a little strage? I have...
My crystal ball is on the fritz, but my guess would be the Fed would slow down buying without telling anyone after that last fiasco, and interest...
True, I was assuming the fact long term pm should rise with inflation, so long term the expected price should always be up. I use dca more for...
Not bad, though I doubt the Carolinginians nor the Merovinginians really called them English pennies. :)
I would think, regarding the penny: 1. You should explain early pennies were silver. 2. The term "penny" is from the German "pfenning" 3. Its...
I agree. I also agree with Green, I think these coins are best called PL, which is a pretty well understood term in numismatics.
Lol, is this Doug's Rorshack test? Personally I see the giraffe, but also see a person sitting just to the right of the square hole. :)
Unfortunately I have started buying at $18. By my metrics I believe its a pretty good price. I do not see it dropping that low, but if it does I...
I agree DCA is a good idea. I sure as heck hope people who were here trumpeting about their $35 purchases, (or even their $25 purchases ;)), are...
I am still trying to get a good Kai Yung Tong Bao type. I keep coming up too cheap to get one of these. :(
You beat me to it Beef, but I would characterize it as the sunk cost realization, not fallacy. The money was already lost when the market went...
Btw Doug, regarding your inquiry if any of us collect Chinese Cash, I do. I have 4-5 thousand of them, from the earliest Yi-tao through all...
I have never seen missing reverse rims. I definitely say it was done post mint. As to the other issues, I agree with Manymore's comments.
