Pop in some Morgans and make a fortune selling on Ebay. :)
I am not sure about NEVER, but I have never seen a silver coin even 40 years old look that bright.
First, look at the bright white silver color and think about how silver will look when its only 1 year old, let alone well over 100. Second, look...
That is simply untrue. Uncoined gold has always been valued in terms of US dollars in this country. Repeating a 1792 that has been superseded...
What you destroyed was the government guarantee, which is one of the fundamental bases of coins versus bullion. Take away the government...
What is this "selling" thing of which you speak Doug???
Its an outmoded definition then. You could not cut US coinage into pieces and expect to have them accepted, even when they were silver or gold, in...
Lol isn't that the truth. My biggest score was a group with horrible photos and zero feedback. They wanted $200 for 68 pieces, I talked to them...
Lets see, ancients are from 7th century BC to about 500 AD, (fall of western Roman Empire). Byzantines are debatable as to whether "ancient" or...
Of course there are good deals to be had. I buy some good pieces there nearly every week. Some are fairly priced, but I get some screaming deals...

I agree sir, personally I love high grade barbers and SL, but I know its my taste. I do, however, strongly believe that both design and method...
I simply do not understand those who say gold and silver is money today, sorry. You go to Walmart, and what is your bill in? Ounces of silver?...
Welcome. I believe you will find your best investment in coin collecting right now would be a Krause book on world coins struck 1901-2000....
Well I was just commenting on lower and lower overall mintages it appears to me as the modern commemorative program has been in existence. It...
Good post. The main thing I could say would be that most of us who get into ancients do not have Ph.D's in history or the like. We get into the...
I doubt, though, you can get a shekel of Tyre for less than $100. Its a good suggestion, but I think outside the price target. :)
For less than $100 you can get a great condition bronze from Alexander the Great, a pretty silver Roman Republican, some ancient jewish bronzes,...
Just a couple of points where I disagree sir. I am sure this disagreement leads us to differing opinions on things. Currency is in fact money....
Of course you are right, I meant to say 2nd to 3rd century. It would not make sense to need small change in the Late Roman bronze period, since...
Separate names with a comma.
