You don't need jalapeno cornbread if you make your chili correctly. Burn your dang mouth chili is fantastic over a nice sweet cornbread. One of my...
I would vote for obverse of B, reverse of A if I could. This is assuming both have equal luster, (hard to tell with CNG photos). I love the luster...
I would agree with that. A lot of things seemed to deteriorate significantly starting in the early 70's, and not getting better til the mid 80's,...
Another thing to consider is soil conditions. Many parts of the Seleucid empire have acidic soil conditions, which can lead to significant soil...
How do you know? Seriously, I have seen, (and we have had this discussion many times as well), in person in a few months a very nicely toned coin...
I understand every aspect of your point Doug, and agree. This is why I have always tried to educate about surfaces, not colors. I collected toned...
Strong dollar mostly making metals look cheap. I am buying a few ounces of gold today, as a dealer I know who uses me to quickly move US gold...
I don't think any non-profits would agree to such an agreement. Too much risk to them. I would say better to simply make a contact with them and...

Really? I own a few, but have always thought they were overrated. Yeah, nice and chunky, but never thought the design was much. Best thing about...
I love knowledge too, but I find having a coin from a particular culture or ruler gets me more engaged with the history. So yeah, my collection...
My wife always tries to wrangle me into a central Florida vacation each year by dangling the FUN show in my face. I have been there the last 3...
"Sets" are overrated. Most people I know who complete "sets" find the last few very unsatisfying. Coin collecting is the pursuit, not the finish...
A house or other real life things always need to be taken care of first. Personally, I have buying some double eagles around MS63 or so cheaply...
Looks like damage revealing the inner zinc core. Take a sharp object to a penny in your pocket and you can see this.
Yeah, I have thought about buying a group, as I am a firm believer of buying into hoards. Problem is, the type has never really interested me and...
THanks for the clarification. My eyes knew something was wrong, but reading your explanation explains to my brain what my eyes were saying, if...
Separate names with a comma.
