This coin is still owned by the Perth mint. Its melt value is about US$130 million. The mint has gotten a lot of PR value out of it, but that’s...
I don’t collect slabs and never have. But for those who do, there is a batch of Morgans up for auction that are in slabs by uncommon TPGs like...
Some forgers of ancient coins became famous because of the quality of their work. Carl Becker of Germany (1772-1830) was one. There are books...
