This. Plus, most of the best books in the world for coins are older. Yes, every year some good books are printed, but the last 100 years is just...
Lol, you ever see the solid gold toilet? I think its in Hong Kong.
I agree, and that was my point sir. A 2013 ASE is like $35, maybe someone wants to give someone a 2013 ASE as a birthday present or something, but...
Op, I can give you the technically correct, precise answer, but in short it comes down to keeping receipts from which you are basing your income...
I don't remember it specifically, but Cloud's point is a VERY important one I am hoping people pick up on. In a declining PM market, at least in...
SOrry to hear it David. It sucks having to miss out on a show you have been looking forward to. I have had business trips keep me from CICF, and...
I would say Nero, Tiberius, Gaius, (Caligula), Claudius to an extent, Marcus Aurelius, and maybe Hadrian. Pre-Imperial would be Mark Antony and of...

Late Roman, early 4th century. Probably tetrarchy or just after. Definitely worth more than a cent, but not a ton. Its worth a few bucks, but...
My wife uses my facebook account. I haven't looked at that garbage in over a year. I guess I never realized how antisocial I was until the "new...
The burgers are undercooked so much as to be inedible. They undercook them so they look juicier. The rest of the burger is simply dressed...
