Interesting read, and I really would buy it that this happens regularly for third world nations. I think almost all aid for third world nations...
But did Iceland default on their debt? No. Iceland keeps getting brought up, and that is not the discussion to me. I disagreed with most of our...
This is the most common misconception of younger or newer collectors. I have it too somewhat regarding ancients since most of the time all I have...
Yeah, I was just going to post about the Three Graces. They are ancient symbols of viruous womanhood and depicted frequently on Roman coins,...
Is Ptolemy II the biggest examples of these coins? I know they go up to about 49 or 50 MM, but anything over 40 is "large". I was thinking these...
I think they are scarcer than they used to be, but others here are right. Since these aren't used in commerce really, there are just some that...

Cool idea to have a "rule" actually. I frequently go to local shows and leave empty handed. The last one I bought an AU bust half, (I probably...
I will guarantee you that you would be surprised and disappointed. I have never met a collector who has disposed of a collection that didn't have...
I was trying to be somewhat facetious in that post but evidently failed. Everything you say about voter apathy, baby boomers, etc is true....
We agree its a problem Cloud. No doubt about that. However, the "greatest generation" has also received the "greatest giveaway" in history in the...
