Did you know the number 5 was pronounced "ha", so if you are chatting with a Thai person and they type 555 they are just laughing? :)
That's why you buy and just never sell. :) I have never looked at my rolls, I simply took them out of paper and put them in plastic. I see now...
Fair enough, I was not questioning your purchase sir, just your assertion on whether cleaned or not. BTW I think the 3 centers were scrubbed too.
If you know now to convert from Buddhist dates to current dates. :) Just FYI, I cheat and remember my mother in law was born in Buddhist year...
That is nearly $400 worth of silver today, not even talking about the scarcity of BU rolls like this. I would never say $1000 opening bid is out...
I have trouble with these as well. Is the date written on these coins? If so, I can have my wife read them when I get home tonight.
I would say most were cleaned, even harshly cleaned, including the CBQ. Trust me, that quarter has been scrubbed, and there is no possibility that...
They used to be out there. I cannot remember the date, but one is scarcer, but not the one you would think, (meaning the scarcer one in circulated...
I like you early copper and colonial guys more and more every day. I still say your area is where I would be if I started in US coins again. Nice,...
Very true. Its a hobby to me, not a competition. Those registry sets simply remind me of other "competitions" men like to get in to. ;) I have...
I agree on the 300 series. I worked for an auto manufacturer and used 300 stainless, we couldn't even use magnets to pick up shavings effectively....

You know, other metals stick to magnets as well. ;)
Exactly. For centuries art was art, and this was no big deal. Look at notes from around the world 100 years ago. In the day and age when...
I agree. While I don't use charts myself, I will not dismiss very short term usages of them. However, how many lay people fully comprehend...
Proofs are another one that photos can be dramatically different than the coin is in hand. TBH, if someone is paying a premium for how a coin...
I am guessing its a VF 1795 Flowing hair dollar. One of the few slabs I own, (PCGS). I haven't looked at it in maybe 7 years. Most expensive...
Ardatirion is more direct than I. :) Plus, he knows them better than I do, being more of a bronze man in these cultures. Btw, does it look like...
To put my "slobbiness" in perspective, ignoring uncleaned romans, bags of wheat cents, bags of world coins, junk silver, etc., my collection is...
I know for a fact the Kushan type was only struck in gold. For bronze coins they had different designs, so I believe this is proving its a fake...
