They look the most to me like indian coins. Celtic is a possibility because of where they were found, but I have never seen such celtic coins....
I know many ideas sound American to Europeans. :) I was not in any way saying you had to mirror our system, which has its own flaws. I was...
I understand many over the years had advocated olive oil for cleaning coins, but I never cared for it. For ancients, I only use pure water, (get...
I own one. I agree its an interesting coin. Of course mine is not so high a grade, but interesting nonetheless. Thankfully my obverse is better...
They along with their northern neighbors are the ones supporting and paying for it, so they should have control of it. I wasn't advocating that,...
I think the difference is we elect the President, who has direct control of the beauracracy. My opinion of the current construct of the EU is...

Dude, you know that's just a rule, not a law right? A rule put in place to scare refiners into not melting to give the mint enough time to fix the...
@Inflexion, I understand man, it just seemed salesman talk. Everyone talks about what silver pricing has done and use on the basis of USD, so to...
Not with time sir, but short term you are right. It would take time to force dealers to reprice their coins if PM goes down. The last time this...
...it's like it knows. :)
