I am going to disagree and side with Detecto on this one guys. I know its second nature to us what clad means, but its not a common knowledge...
For modern foreign, I would say KM is the indispensible volumes. For Byzantine, Sear's "Byzantine coins and their values". Roman is debatable, but...
BUt its not presented that way sir. Many times collectors are cajoled into buying what they desire by "its a good long term investment" statement...
Sweet pickup Mat. Its a coin that non-collectors will love. I have a few like that intentionally, mainly bought to actually interest a...
I think he misread my comments, but I could have been to blame. Listen, quite a few things are going on. One is some collectors morph into...
I agree with superior planning you can put the odds more in your favor. However, luck is luck. If you "invested" in MS65 Morgans in 1989 no matter...
US coins are the most overpriced, (by maybe a factor of 5) versus rarity in the world. World coins are not really undervalued, US coins are just...

My advice, be very careful. For years I had similar patterns of auctions I would look for. However, in the last few years I notice a lot of people...
Gary, sorry for forgetting about your expertise on these. My fault. :( Chris
TO be fair sir, I bet you could say not just India, but any non-US coins are not very popular here in the US unfortunately. :( Thank you for...
I agree with the OP its atrocious. How can intentional, demonstrable damage simply be ignored? I am saying this knowing if its true I probably...
Was it a guess closest without going over? Just wondering, since my guess was only $85 off.
Unfortunately my first wife was similar. I got to the point I had coins delivered to work. I once kept a group of 120 Byzantine coins there for...
I would think that they had, absent coins like 1849 double eagle, and possibly type 2 1804 dollars, things like that.
