I appreciate your point David. However, to me, any type of coin that can be recreated this way has to be assumed to have been absent extraordinary...
Just another reason to purchase the books to support the hobby, no? :) Sorry just teasing Doug about our disparate love of printed references....
Its an industrial metal. You can buy it near spot, but only for large purchases. Its the same as buying stainless, cold rolled, nickel, etc. These...
I would concur, especially considering the wide spectrum in quality of fakes. The danger of relying on one marker is that, even if it works,...
Well I have cleaned some ancients in my day. I don't see much more detail to be revealed really. I would simply scrape off the dirt on the...
Not that unusual though. Every day coins are dug up that have been in the ground for thousands of years, so 250 is still just a baby!
I agree you should do nothing except tell your credit union that they should cross off the name and number before they give them to you. Its very...
That would be assuming the same amount of dollars in circulation, and also making an assumption as to the linkage betweeen the two. Two very large...
If it is a current book, that would be a wonderful idea. I would like to see what reference for the estimate is. Sorry, I am just used to...
? I was saying that many in the industry have been a broken record, and have said the same for 30+ years, as well as use scare tactics. At...
I have seen the copper too. Its a shame since its never a decent deal. The markups are atrocious. Most of the time copper would have to double to...

I knew you would have a better answer than mine for us. My first thought were simply that the few mints in the Gallic empire were small ones...
I would have difficulty accepting that. I would believe the entire empire made that many a year, or maybe more, but for the Gallic empire to make...
I believe there are 54 known, (that number simply comes to mind). Not rare for an ancient, but of course the subject matter makes it one of the...
One aspect that may be driving these Magna Grecia coins up is its now illegal to import them into the US. Nice coin, not $775 nice to me, but a...
Rarity. IDK why, but simple absolute scarcity always attracts me. That is why most of my attention has not been Roman or Greek, but esoteric...
Actually the branch point was a very good point. I forgot. In some states the banks are allowed to treat each branch as a separate bank in effect,...
You will find this is exactly how small investors always react. They have the attention span of weeks when the money they are investing needs to...
Ty for the link. I agree there are, especially late, some various qualities of workmanship. LD coin is weird. Every time I access this page,...
Separate names with a comma.
