I see it more of a simple, cheap political gimmick. How much of these grandios plans have you heard more of in the last couple of years?
Nice..... I am glad to see I am not the only "sneak it into the house before she can see it" collector. :)
That's fine. I was simply trying to show why COMEX does not really respond to collectors of coins, nor should they really, when we complain about...
Sounds like a bunch of hippies. :D
I agree with Doug. Man, you have to relax and realize all assets on an exchange trade in ranges. Before I came to CT, I used to look at PM...
People kiss their dogs or cats? Seriously? I will pet an animal, that is as "close" a relationship that I want.
Later on, when the coins became smaller, I think there were some weight variations that did not matter as much, (since they became more nominal...
But Doug, in general, would you say coins that are cleaned and/or have slight issues like this are found more commonly slabbed on 18th century or...
I guess ya'll aren't used to Asians as much. That lady appears 25-30. Asian people are always guessed younger by Americans, I did it at first...
Thanks for the heads up. I couldn't imagine how I would feel, and my stash is not anywhere close to that. Man, I really feel for them. :(...
Lol, yeah. My wife's "hobby" is Coach purses. I just last night pull out one of the ancient gold coins I bought earlier this month. She kind of...

Nice idea. I have to go the other way with it. I have to bury my current purchases deep into the pile. Only after a little while can I pull...
I agree. I don't think it HURTS at all, but soap and water would be more thorough. I still would like to have some silver coins if ever stuck on...
The portraits done with Octavian are not as pricey as lifetime issues, its just some 12 Caesar collectors insist on lifetime portraits. That...
We all started somewhere. :) I started with a facing head larissa bronze with a hard green patina. Anyone who can visualize that coin will see how...
I would HIGLY encourage anyone interested in this series to check out our own Doug Smith's website and his article on these. Very informative and...
Do you have a Julius lifetime portrait? That is the one that would stop me financially. The "heavy hitter" of our coin club brought one in one...
Kinda hard for me to answer that question man. ;) PM me if you want an answer.
You working on the 12 Caesars Mat? I didn't know that. I am just too anti-hole filling of a collector to pursue them. OTOH, I do find myself...
