My own opinion, (meaning its valid only in my mind), is while I respect Jason's motives for this project, I wish to remove all portraiture off of...
I still believe net grading should be used, with a notation for the damage causing the netted down grade. Seems fairer to me than the alternative....
More the denari than the drachm. The drachm was heavier and thicker. The penny was basically the German version of the denari, so much so that...
Most important thing is the question gets answered correctly. We all have misspoke, (typed), here before. :)
Yeah, people still buy chinese cash coins and use them as decorative pieces on clothing and various things. That peeves me off some to, using 100+...
Early cents were zinc plated? I only knew 1943 steel cents were zinc plated.

Just a post about a local show I went to today. I went in and asked about buy pricing and not one dealer would give me a price. Every single one...
And I had hoped you would actually concentrate on the subject, and not take these threads down dead end, meaningless paths which do nothing to...
I wouldn't ask him anything. I don't begrudge them their sales. If it weren't for their program, many people would not buy collectible coins at...

I have taken graduate classes on the subject. You are the armchair critic trying to find something to contribute, and failing that resorting to...
Mainly from group purchases for me. An example is a rare Ostrogothic coin in a group of 40 Byzantine coins I got for $40. The Ostrogothic coin...
