Heck of a question....... To answer the OP question, (assuming he wants it answered and not just soliciting sales), I do not buy modern...
For overall coin sales probably. For ancients, a lot of the excitement is around Fall and early Spring since that is auction season in Europe....
Lol, everyone has those, some just have larger ones than others. Just suggesting that sometimes its fun to collect a completely different area...
Look around and take your time. Have you every thought about goign outside your comfort zone and trying foreign or ancient? I am thinking maybe an...
Its kind of cool, but with the generic nature of the coin inside, and its condition, I am not sure its the best $100 spent unless of course you...
Sure looks Jewish to me with the Menorah on the reverse. I would start with assuming its Jewish, but after that I don't have a clue. Its not a...

As you have already found out, modern 70's bsowa1088 are a hot topic. You will likely find multiple answers and justification to your question. I...
Very nice provincial. I have a few river god scenes, and have half thought of collecting them. I knew the second I saw the reverse that if...
I would like to see too. The only reference I can find is the Japanese Dealers listing, as item 108 under Imported Coins. I believe that is...
Fair enough sir. You actually bring up an interesting point, (well you always do but this one may be somewhat unintentional). I know a lot of...
Good to know sir. I know it is somewhat abbreviated, but its a nice book to start on for most aspects of US numismatics. I agree any specialist...
