I have to say Mr. Esty that not only does your article hold up well, it was in fact some of the earliest articles I read on ancient coins. Yours...
Man, really? "Overeducated" like education is some sort of evil that should be avoided? Like Mike said timing is about impossible, especially...
My only responses Mike would be ASEs are sourced as prepared blanks of certified US silver with high technical specs. Most people do not complain...
Yeah, and a lot of those items can be found either more expensive through "certain magazines", and much cheaper at dealers. I view it all as a...
The only thing that really changes by selling on Ebay versus anywhere else is visibility. Technically any gain above your basis and direct costs...
I always view support and resistance to be a combination of self fulfilling prophecies and human interactions with numbers psychologically. There...
If following Doug's advice, be careful with direct sunlight. I have had bad results ever leaving coins in dire t sunlight, from fading to...
I would say buy nic-a-date and soak them until the spots come off, and just use this product on the date area in the future. Just my opinion.
I have had coins and antiquities have a stale mustiness smell that sounds similar. Water doesn't help, but lots of fresh air lessons it.
Sounds like it would be a weird vibe fo me too. I have been on the other side, having a dealer change his mind on a sale price. Life is too...
Sad game. Sorry but I would never sell to a store if they had to take my thumbprint. The problem in MN is a new law to go into effect in 2014....
Btw, not trying to hijack your thread OP. Fantastic find of course! I have never been so lucky. All I ever find anymore is cheap random wheat...
Lol, I am there with you man. I bought a double eagle last weekend. A guy could probably make a good living finding out my purchase timing and...
I carry cash on me all of the time for a different reason. My Dad taught me the value of having a little money on you all of the time on the off...
My generic one is www.comparesilverprices.com. I just use that to compare prices. Any REALLY good deals I am buying myself. :D
Yeah, its the difference between a honest seller and a knowledgable and honest seller. A dealer can be honest all day long yet still sell you fake...
Well its been 15-20 years since I was buying. It was $4 then, and 20 years of inflation takes that $4 to over $10 with just 5% inflation. From...
Last things first. I did pay the premium for a roll of 1986 ASE's, the first and only ones I have bought. Sourcing silver blanks, handling...
Thad would be the one to answer your questions, but I never reuse the liquid. I do not want to risk spreading BD between coins. Even the flip a...
Btw, longer soakings do not hurt. Sometimes I just put it on the coin and let it sit overnight or longer. It never has damaged a patina in my...
