Depends I suppose. Every type of coin is a little different. Some are cheapest on Ebay, some are cheapest at coin shops or coin shows. Not many...
Not saying I am right, as I am going off of memory here. I collected XF/AU coins, with some VF's thrown in. I do not recall any of my coins not...
Both look male to me, but then again I am used to the ancient's depiction of young men. To be honest, though, I also always thought barber...
Personally I don't see that. Clasps on the later bust halved frequently are not worn down until the grade of VG-F. For a VF you expect to see a...
Thanks. Very informative. Any opinion as to the weakness on the inside of the wing? I have seen that before, but usually in connection to a...
I like the change jar idea. Put yourself on a $2 a day allowance. Put the $2 in yoru pocket each day, and IF you buy junk food pay with it from...
Were any of the ASE's ever released into circulation at face value? No? Then I consider them all NCLT coins, like colorized Palau, Liberia fantasy...
But they wouldn't need to, would they? The point of making PM illegal would be to force everyone to be on the USD standard, not the trivial amount...
Looks like a tourist fake. Face is wrong, owl's body not right, everything about that coin looks like a modern counterfiet, sorry.
Best ways to ship a coin I have found is put them in paper envelopes and tape them to the side of the envelope, (inside of course). If its a...
I am just curious, for those who believe PM will be their salvation if the currency collapses, about why they believe it will be different this...
How do we know "retail americans have been net sellers for years"? Like I said previously, the US being an exporter of gold is not any more...
If you like Parthian, the only book to get really is second edition Sellwood. He was working on a new edition but sadly he passed away. I hear him...
You very well could be right. The "hair squiggles" looks more like Artabanus II. I stand corrected. Sorry Siggy.
I would be nervous about it as well. What bothers me is the weakness in the wing and breast of the eagle, yet the motto is strongly struck. The...
I am a "book guy" and this is what I do. You want them for the knowledge, not pricing, so no need to buy the latest editions. I usually get the...
Looks like Vologases III, (105-147 ad). Sellwood Type 78, minted in Ecbatana. These frequently come in good shape, so this one is average. I...
Considering Larry Flynt was who bankrolled production of the movie, I think the movie says more about his tastes that Gaius'.
Your coin is in better shape than most. While this is a fairly common issue, most are poorly struck, especially the reverse. Really sloppy...
First impression would be a debased "pfenning", (or similar denomination). Coins such as this were produced in large numbers around Europe around...
Separate names with a comma.
