You two are pulling out some very esoteric, very interesting, and very expensive coins. I love it!
Most interesting deteriorated dies actually look like the die is about to fail. I present to you an 1839O Reeded Edge half in terminal die state....
It is because they are so small compared to modern holders. It would be nice to have an adapter for the small anacs holders, although I suspect...
Yes.
I put a small shipping label sticker on each box and basically label it "Box 1", "Box 2", etc. In my excel spreadsheet I have a column where I...
The British Museum owns about 8 million items. If you're a nefarious director, or even an employee with access, I'm sure it's easy to nick a few...
I remember these were all the rage when they were first discovered. I hadn't heard anyone talk about them in a long time! She's seen better...

Now that's what I like to see!
It was probably Gallery Mint. They usually set up a cool demonstration where they punch blanks, and then mint medals. They usually have a FUN show...
I want to know if there will ever be another "Standard Catalogue of World Coins"? There was nothing like that book, and nothing has really...
If you look back through his posts, his collection actually is incredible.
So, we all know there is a gold to silver ratio (for an ounce of gold, you can get this many ounces of silver). Do any of you track or trade...
Shipwreck gold is far more appealing to me, because seawater does not affect gold... but it is so much more expensive!
It isn't pre-registering for that auction, it is registering as a member. If you already have an account with them, you don't have to register for...
I will agree with the distinguished gentleman on the first 2, but I'll call the third one AU details. There appears to be some *minor* traces of...
I do find it interesting that they called this piece a "fragment" when it isn't broken at all... it is intentionally cut. They had 8 reales coins,...
