It sure is if that .02 would have been put in safe bonds over the years. What people need to "get over" is the idea that a $5 bill will keep...
IDK about that. I buy a lot of coins based on looks, and I simply find silver to be a more beautiful substance to make a coin out of than...

Kind of makes sense. During that timeframe Antioch, (along with a couple of others), could arguably have been thought of the "second city" of the...
The hard part about something like this is it is very possible for someone to chemically remove the copper layer after the fact. Its a matter of...
Good links, thanks. I read the WSJ commentary before, but I heartily agree with it. Best use of gold is as a long term hedge, and personally I...

Yeah, I have almost never seen a decent article in a regular newspaper about ancient coins. They always get a major aspect of it wrong. I...
I will go with USA and 39. :)
Just do what I do, own an AK with 4 30 round clips. Bayonet is there in case it really gets interesting.
If it was supposed to have the S mintmark, then it would have been a proof. On that date the San Francisco mint only made proofs. Therefor, it...

I was wrong, it is Browning, not Brown, for CBQ's. I believe Valentine did the dimes and half dimes.
Looking closer, I don't like the beak hook and placement of air hole on the beak. They are not very similar at all. Is anyone here a CBQ...
Well I am kind of stuck. I use my PM as a contra asset, so it would have to be very strong for me to wish to do without this asset class. If it...
That's the most depressing thought I have read on CT in a very long time....... :(
Heck, they are fairly common on Roman Republicans. I believe silver made a brockage more likely due to it being softer and sticking to the dies...
Very nice coin for the grade. TBH I have seen quite a few 65's without as much eye appeal. Very nice pick.
Sounds like a good book then, (I don't think I own that one, but know Mr. Cline and his funny hats). This is where the rubber meets the road, and...
We didn't take it that way, just having fun with your "fingering up" idea. ;)
