I understand sir, but its an economics paper and it is majorly off on the coinage metrics of the era. Just off the bat, it lists a denari as about...
Interesting reading and link Juan, but as an ancient collector I will tell you for a fact there are serious errors in the linked article....
Yep. Ever read about the "financial consultant" in the 20's who sent out 4000 letters, half predicting the market up, half the market down next...
Well, silver is down today at just over $31 an ounce. I sure hope this "insider information" hurries since going up $8 from here in a few hours...
I agree as well. I believe most of the early gold up until the 1850's or so, and almost all of the small denomination gold, were from coins that...
Welcome to the Forums, (especially PM forum). Just as an aside, I wouldn't take too much personally. Many here, including myself, post just to...
I will check. This group was put together looks like by a reseller, so each are listed with emperors name and history. I think there were 96...
WHat rulers? I just bought a group of about 500 gF/VF LRB. Maybe its in there.

I stand by my original suggestion. I recall seeing these nickel plated at the time, being sold like Chris said by telesleeze. Nickel plating will...
Very true. Maybe I wasn't visualizing such a severe cleaning, as I could not comprehend how any G could ever be worth the same as a MS64 cleaned....
I took the "pretty bad shape" comment of the OP as referring to its grade of Good, not that there were anything else wrong with the coin EXCEPT it...
I agree, very cool piece. In this case the jewelry adds a lot to the historical context in which contemporary people viewed the object. That is...
That is fair. I agree I overstepped saying I question the sanity, so I have edited my post sir. I still disagree pretty strongly with you, but...
Thinking about this question more, honestly I would question not buying the cleaned MS64. I know "different strokes for different folks" and the...
For me the gap is WAY too wide to not buy the MS64 cleaned coin. I think this hobby is way, way too hard on cleaned coins. Geez, worst case put it...
Very true. I love the surfaces, I am just sad at the storage conditions that led to what I view as unattractive toning. If stored properly this...
