I was talking to a guy on here about a month ago and he had a Badge of Phanes AND a Gold Croessid. Those are each like $50,000+ coins. It’s so...
OMG! That collection is amazing!! I hope mine is like that 40 years from now. xD
What do you mean yeah right?
The solidus is a pretty cool coin too! It’s just a lot lighter and a bit smaller. I particularly like the Histamenons of the Byzantine Empire...
Yeah the early ones are beautiful! I particularly like the aureus of Trajan.
Ohhh you meant the nine different books of The Histories. I have all nine of them in mine. Right now I am on book 3.
I know what you mean. Even in VG/F grade they are still usually over $5,000 each. But for more popular ones like Gaius Junius Brutus (assassin of...

Do you happen to know if both PCGS & NGC holders are equally easy to scratch? Or does maybe one TPG provide less scratchable holders than the...
I understand that but I figured usually they charge over spot for them so they could still make money. Spot right now is about $25/oz and a Peace...
Hmm well that’s good to know! I don’t think it would be worth it though to buy a product like that for a $40 coin. It’s probably like $10 or...
So do you think dealers usually will pay only spot for them? I’m just asking because I bought 26 Peace Dollars a few months ago and was...
Any reason why you say that? I always assumed all 90% silver coins without numismatic value were considered “junk silver”.
Does that actually fix the scratches or just hide them?
Wouldn’t Gold Buffalos be better since they are .9999 fine vs a Gold Eagle’s .9167 fine? I’m just asking because in the event of a “zombie...
Do VF-XF common date Peace Dollars count as “junk silver”?
