I would say its more to preserve the prestige of the monarchy, (and the tourist dollars that go along with it). I was simply saying Thailand and...
I think maybe you were better off. That blackness has me worried. About 8 o clock looks like the start of corrosion to my eyes. Too bad they...
We are close to agreeing, I simply view mined silver as going to industry, and "extra" going to everything else. So, we must "take back" or melt...
What I find most interesting is the head shot in post 3.
I have to agree with Matt, looks MD. Notice how they appear flat and shelf like, not rounded? That is what I look for. Many world coins have...
I didn't know the saucy little minx was abdicating. Thanks for bringing it up. I would doubt, though, it would have much affect on coin...
Personally, I would post it to the most relavent thread. It doesn't mean you cannot post again in the future, I just think one new coin posted in...
OTOH, many people who would never think about collecting coins have gotten into the hobby via these mass mailings. Mail a whole bunch of stuff out...
Sales were just horrible. I am sure the die making/setup costs for such things are pretty high, and the mint thought they were losing money...

I think Doug is saying is maybe the man had two, and just used the same photo. Its possible, but I think its just more likely that the buyer of...
Wow, lots to respond to. I will try in just one post. First, I agree with Jim. I know its hard for us to get it through our little skulls, but...
I would agree with Bill's answer. In antiquity the story was well known, but only associated with Knossos, so they really only appear on those...
First, please name the central banks that have the "massive short positions in silver". They MAY have shorts for gold, but that is simply trying...
Are there more places you can open a mine and extract PM for less than today's prices? Are mines expandable? Is there concern these historical...
I would differentiate though between these patinas and "sandy" patina. A sandy patina is really only dirt still on the coin, with the resulting...
Niiice, with a "nice" price to boot. I am more of a darker green fan, though. I like yours, or maybe even a touch darker green. I know I...
