Make sure you get one of the pudgy faced, evil looking Domitians. Those are my favorites. :) Chris
I never said couldn't, I simply didn't think melting down coins to recover 4% or less silver was really economical. To me, the costs would...
Nice example. Good profile with his nose he was somewhat known for. :) I think you chose well, I would prefer that coin over most Marcus A's...
No scratches take a coin from BU to AU. However, harsh cleaning, (which could be seen by tiny scratch lines), makes a coin ungradable. Its...
Thanks for posting the video Yo-Yo Spin. Definitely a fun experience for you, huh? I know many of us are wondering what to do, so i won't get the...

Good site, thanks. The only downfalls I see to using this too much is: 1. It only takes one other dude to outbid me 2. Lots of other may do...
Well I won a 3 Cyrene coin lot recently, (I know Doug they aren't the greatest), but I really like Cyrenaica and they are extremely hard to find....
Some days I just hate Ebay don't you? Last night I had 48 snipes posted, I woke up this morning and I lost every single one of them, and 41 I...
Very true, we have a group of ten. Not too bad for a virtual coin club.

My wife is from SE Asia, and I have travelled there. For all of these countries, their wealth is going up. They have a history of getting burned...
