I heartily agree with the recommendation of course. Doug knows I buy from Frank and have for years. The one clarification I would say is...
Good post. I would liken it to "Can you afford to overpay $100 for one coin?" For most they probably can. Could most afford to overpay by $20,000...
The 1970's says hi! :)
I think you need a more accurate scale sir if you are getting such wide swings in weight. US coins aren't that variable. If you don't have one,...
But even Brazil is not wanting to use the Real. They are intentionally trying to devalue it since its strength, (tied mainly to the high insterest...
Try either a Palau coin, or a large silver one they can touch. I find kids like big, colorful coins, and like to touch. Showing them dark, small...
I am a war vet who hates all of the military themed coins. If they maybe had one a decade I might buy it, but they are everywhere. Even if they...
I am 104.166% sure that there cannot be 104.166% pure gold. ;)
I know you know a lot about gemology and minerology Jim, but I beg to differ to an extent. In "King Midas' Gold, Excavations at Sardis", in the...

I have seen lots of clad coins from the period where sections of the strip did not have copper in it, or had a disproportionate amount of copper....
I am not worried about back taxes, my main worry is a junkie. :(
Just curious why do you want to insure coins in your SDB? DO you think the risk of loss is prevalant? I am asking since I just put about 40k into...
Benmphelps, please check the weight. Between 1965-1969 the mint did not mix the alloys evenly and sometimes a clad quarter will look silver on the...
I wouldn't dismiss the idea of nickels. If you really wanted to do it, I would suggest getting mint boxes of BU coins. If anything have been...
Looks like a turkomen figural bronze. They copied many famous coin types in about the 11-12th centuries.
Well you can pretty quickly tell when you have a silver coin that is crystallized, (better word). Its very light. To be fair, (to me :)), I...
Tough call. I would not say that since it is simply putting the coins in a situation that you know will breed toning. Does intent matter if you...
Separate names with a comma.
