Very true. I try to keep up with Al Jazeera just to remind myself how that area of the world thinks. For some really terrific, (horrific),...
Could be, but cost of production would actually go UP if there was an overall selloff of industrial metals like copper. If this happened, I don't...
Personally I could see $1400 gold, but $20 silver would be too much of a correction. Even though I am fine with my quantity owned I would...
You are correct Byzantine's usually have more flan unstruck around the edges than this coin. Also, many Byzantine's are ill struck, or worn. There...
Like Doug mentioned, you cannot disprove a negative, so you can never "prove" a coin is authentic. All you can do is get to the point where the...
I say its a nice XF, pleasing to look at. To expand on SWHuck's discussion about commonness. For any other coin this is a great condition. For...

I like the article, thank you. I think it highlights well the extremes. To me, Doug Smith is a collector. He studies every coin he acquires, he...
