I know sir, (and apologizing to OP for hijacking too), but we all have to understand words are only part of meaning. I have done the same sir,...
Problem with internet forums is no one can see your face. Seeing a person changes how people take things. :)
I think its a cool little collection sir. I admit I have never paid attention much to the dates and what is available. I have bought them when my...
Dryer coin? Are the rims upset?
OP, for some reason my eye does not much like the look of coin #1. My eye, from a couple of decades of looking at good coins, usually knows a lot...
Countermark of unknown origin or someone playing with their new stamping die. Either way not an error sir.
Wife pulled a big pile of coins from my change jar to teach the kids about money, counting, etc. I happened to be walking around the kitchen and...
Flan definitely looks 3rd-2nd century BC bronze from the near east. I would guess Seleucid or similar. I am sure the fine folks here will sort...
What do you do with the modern US stuff? My neighbor, and early MD in the 70's, used to take any face value coins, put them in a old butter churn...

Yeah but... My main concern would be this would further the myth dealers and the TPGs propagate about coins being investments. EVEN IF your coins...
On the OPs question, I think phase of life has something to do with it. I have maybe 2000-3000, (maybe more, I never track) ounces of silver in...
Why is that sir? From what perspective? I agree shows are becoming less popular, but internet has more than made up for that. I don't post in...
I would say there are US collectors like most ancient collectors, those more interested in what the object is, its history, etc than what the...
Yeah, I have a campgate about 9mm. No mottos, just head of emperor on one side, tiny campgate on the other. They can get tiny...
That is a big debate. Many support Doug's position of up to about 1500 when modern machines started striking. Others think ancients, (except for...
Wow, color me jealous. You east coast types have all the luck being able to go to such great shows. :)
Assuming most people are into history and geography. Those in ancients tend to self select into it. The danger is we assume the rest of the world...
Separate names with a comma.
