And realized prices might be worst. Listen, there physically IS no way to have a price guide you can rely on in this hobby. Way too many...
If you are talking about the copper mines, I doubt it. One, they produce just way too much copper versus any other metal for anything but copper...
Please stay away from mineral oil and especially olive oil. Olive oil will permanently darken a copper coin.
I agree. But it is a nice coin, and I doubt you will ever find a nicer XF overall. Could be a bidding war, or just two bidders who appreciate...
Thankfully that tetradrachm is a reproduction. Had me scared there a minute Jason!
Cool, I was wondering where the mint was located inside the city. It would not surprise me if it moved over time, though, since they produced,...

If he wants to get too "historical", I will go down that path with him if you wish Jason. Dude better have a pretty nice library if he wants to...
Yeah, but he was just buying for resale. How many more times in my life do I really think I will stumble across accidentally a 1913 tobacco card...
Could be, or Matt is a better photographer showing luster. ;) That second link especially looks bad. Could be the danger of comparing coin...
Eh, $64 is the price of a book or less. Plus I have a decent sized odd and curious money section, so this will be odd and curious references to my...
I am with you man, except I am bad even taking pics to post here, (as most will frustratingly agree with). For those who also record all of...
