Charles, that is weird. It looks quite a bit different than my Ummayid coins, but then again its not my area. Maybe they changed the style over...
I don't see most, (99+%) of ASE's ever being numismatic. They bring premiums not due to numismatics but they are a recognized form of pure silver....
Actually, I could be wrong but it appears its a Vahran VI, the scarce one year usurper. Anyone else want to confirm? If it is, it IS worth $100.
I disagree about the toning. Heck, I have put a freshly cleaned, (freshly dug), Parthian silver in a manila envelope for a couple of years, (to be...
Leo "the wise" usually come pretty nice. Its weird since emperors before and after come crummy many times, but many of his coins were well struck....
I agree. Not picking on you Trey, but I would also say your title could be misleading. I know you didn't mean it this way, but its a trick some...
Also remember Russia and South Africa just signed an agreement to try to increase prices for platinum and palladium. SA is the largest platinum...
Well even for gold I no longer see unusual premiums being demanded. As for Mr. Fekete, sorry but some off the wall, not well accepted academic...
Why isn't it a result of no one wanting it, so it wasn't worth paying to storage costs to keep it on the Comex? WHY did Comex stocks increase so...
Actually, if you study markets, you will find markets that employ leverage are usually MORE in line with ultimate fair value than one that forbids...
We agree more than I thought then. I wasn't seeing any kind of scratching, just a newly cleaned late Sassanid with good details and a little...
As an aside to the conversation, i agree with rhysherms. I have a cfp, and as part of the program were shown how unsound advice was litigatable....
Butchered and scrubbed? I do not see that at all. I see a better than average late 5th to mid 6th century sassanid. Find me any of these for $10...
I don't think so. I own both and these are more complex than abassid or ummayad. I am guessing late medieval-early modern persian if i had to...
Why don't you show the whole story and show how this level of comex gold is still much higher than ten years ago? Kind of leads to a different...
Ok. Just checking sir. Way too many people leveraged to the hilt were "getting into" pm when they should have been "getting into" a better...
Many times that is a wise choice. TBH, besides loving to hold pm, that is a huge advantage of buying physical like we do. I can stick it in the...
Looks authentic. Its shiny since it was cleaned after it was unearthed. Definitely late Sassanid, but not very late like Khusro II. I am thinking...
What to do with $800? Do you have credit cards paid off? Funded a retirement plan? Have a few months salary set aside? If yes to all, I would...
Nice coins everyone. I was going to comment about the other scenes, but of course Doug beat me to it and posted pics. I have especially loved the...
