There are some books, but they aren't terribly effective. I have a few and find them pretty rudimentary. Personally, I believe you would learn as...
One other bit of advice about ancients. We are not NEARLY so condition conscience as US collectors. Yes, we might want to buy VF coins, but a gF...
Collectible coins would be different, bullion coins, (junk silver), is not. Its about intent. If you are holding an 1883s morgan, sell it, and buy...
1. Its variable. Think about it, every producer has their own costs, and those of a byproduct silver producer like a copper mine will be very...
I prefer majors who appear to know what they are doing for any kind of mining assets I wish to own. I mainly stick with companies like Rio Tinto...
Doesn't really look Roman in any way.
One word; Byzantine. :)
It will boil down to what kind of collector you are. I am a person who wishes to see the coins details and study it. Others are more about the...

There are many other sources sir, many much more safe than Ebay. Vcoins is a collection of ancient dealers, and there are individual dealers like...
Seems high. TBH sir, I would have suggested getting some late romans, or similar inexpensive ancients and a couple of books. $475 is a lot of...

Lol, yeah! Someone called me a PM bull! See Inflexion, I am not the bear you think I am. :)
Yes, as a political stunt Russia, Iran, and others have publicly stated they wish to move away from dollars. What I am referring to is a very...
I have mentioned this before, but the Iranians right now are neither anti-dollar nor pro gold. They are importing gold from Turkey and other...
As others have said, one of the greatest things about doing a collection like this is the geographic and historical knowledge you pick up. If my...
Or spent time on CT reading threads and paying attention to the knowledge Doug, Tom B, CPMBall, and all of the other knowledgable experts here are...
Exactly. Its simply survivorship bias we are seeing. Huge numbers of morgans exist in BU, something no other series can claim. If we had...
An ancient fake would have been a fourree, but the copper core, (if this was it), would not have had that level of detail. IMHO its a 1950/60's...
I think some people collect coins like playing that game. Searching for deals, trying to "make money". Too much work for me to roll search,...
