Also, are you just asking for US coin collections or any coins? Completely different answers.
You posted this last time you and I had this disagreement Doug. I believe its a red herring since its gold. I told you, like many have told you on...
I believe 5 were made, maybe I missed it where the Sultan of Muscat set has appeared. I will change my statement to, only the original 5 included...
I would say grade like you do for US grading, then knock half a grade off. US grading is weak typically.
I have always felt this way too Mike. The king of Siam coin is the only one I would say is official, and even that to me is more of a unfortunate...
I will try to find the passage in one of my books. It details a mint operating and the fact the feedstock was other nations or old coins from the...
I was going to say the same thing, be careful of what they say are Unc's. You know they will be very picked over, but if they truly are Unc I...
Since your brother isn't a collector, I would vote with a 1990 type of large silver coin, like a ASE, Panda, whatever design you might think he...
I agree with the summary GB, though I would say if a collector buys quality coins, at a decent price, long term they will appreciate about the...
I think 1891 since they didn't make them in 1881. Liberty nickels. I would suggest getting a "red book" from the library or buying one on Ebay,...

I would guess the Chain cent.
Steve, I would say what you say is actually beneficial to the economy and could possibly indicate lower PM prices. People talk about the...
Heck, you can have this kind of fun with normal money. Ever try to buy something when their computer is on the fritz and doesn't tell the clerk...
Hard coin to find without rim bruises. I would say EF45 for US grading, or gEF for other grading. Nice coin! Sorry, but it has been years since I...
I think the Sassanid has more to do with their lack of silver, and hammering out old and contemporary silver coins, than a real desire to have...
Heck, look at the first coins ever minted and you will see government stealing. The first coins were supposedly of naturally occurring electrum,...
Good post about "shell case" cents. My grandfather was a private on a range where they trained recruits and was responsible for getting the spent...
I for one love hearing people bash Ebay and I hope they all stop buying there. Yes, there are sharks, yes there are forgeries that can and do turn...
Sounds like me! I started on SL and Bust coinage, then moved to ancients. DO you have many Parthians? I just picked up a couple of months ago a...
Separate names with a comma.
