I agree short term anything is possible. I would say long term, though, PM could fail to keep pace with inflation due to one word: Oil. If oil...
Calgarycoin.com has a good section on identifying Chinese cash coins. I use Hartill's book on Cast Chinese Coins. What is interesting to me at...
Lol yeah. My BMC Greek series is I believe 36 volumes and even IT is not nearly complete just for Greek coins, let alone Roman or any other cultures.
It is still a good book overall for Roman Imperials. If you get a lot deeper into the 12 Caesars only, the Vol I might be good for you as well. At...
I have nothing firm, but the overall shape and positioning of the characters is vaguely Chinese. Its not a Chinese piece, but I am wondering if...
OP, I know you wish to collect the 12 Caesars. Well, for that list Augustus is one of the easiest to acquire. I would wait for a very nice...
It happens all of the time. Heck, they legitimately found ancient Roman coins in US harbors and a few dimwitted historians tried to postulate how...
Rob, first get yourself a better scale if you wish to buy such coins. Weight check is one of the best defenses nowadays. Second, if you did not...
Btw op, having an incomplete or very damaged flan like that is a huge devaluation. If you know US collecting, its equivalent or worst than a...
Or it could just be from a jerk like me. They are very cheap coins. I have been known to throw ancient roman coins in national historical sites, lol.
I would say heck no. You can find that coin complete for that.
Biggest benefits of sniping software is: 1. You can have a life and not give a crud when an auction ends, and 2. You do not tip your hand and let...
I agree with others. NO point sniping unless you are going to use the software. Its really cheap, I get like 40 successful snipes for $10. I...
The Canadian dime idea was just an example. Tell your LCS what you want, and he can get all kinds of world coins made of silver the size of a dime...
Btw, I know its sounding like I am a coin snob here, but if you know me you will know I am about the furthest from it. I believe every coin...
I am just going off recent auction listings and coin show prices. I haven't seen a nicely centered VF go for $500 in a while, and even a nice VF...
I believe Chris is correct. It was the Comstock lode silver, (and all of the other silver mines) that was changing the market ratio price between...
I think it depends on what you believe "decent" is. These coins have moved up quite a bit in the last few years. A VF is now a $500 coin. I think...
It took a long while. You are very correct sir that in quick dips the premiums go up, and in major run ups they decline. This is a major...
So to answer the OP, world guys, why is it that NGC seems more numerous for world slabs?
Separate names with a comma.
