Not Byzantine though, so you shouldn't call it that so as to avoid confusion. Its a Bulgarian imitative coin from the 14th century. 11th...
Why not buy a table, and post a sign? That is what I would call fair competition. Listen, these dealers, by buying tables, have provided a...
What does high frequency trading have to do with long term investing? How does the fact 90% of all trades are just trying to skim a penny here and...
There have been multiple editions published over the years. I see some on Abebooks. Most good numismatic dealers should be able to procure a copy...
I understand. My post was meant to echo your recommendation of Cayon and Cayon for Spanish coins, not disagree with it. :)
Come on now, I have to assertively disagree with that statement sir. It may surprise you, but I have quite a few "shiny" really nice AU barbers in...
Great coin VK. I love coins like that, coins that may not be impressive looking at them, but are impressive for the history they carry. I have one...
