I just wish I could get a cut of the action. Seems to me getting paid to neither buy nor sell coins, just "comment", is a great gig if you can get...
Yeah, black is a tough color. Not that I know how to photograph coins, nor have the time or inclination to do so, but I tried once on a glossy...
Well, at least its better he didn't look like a clown. Even as a 4 year old, and to this day, clowns creep me out.
I would second that guess. Untypical toning for a coin with pristine surfaces, but fairly common on messed with coins. I would go with previously...
Why is he a clown sir? $1 a piece is about the going rate for IHCs, so it didn't seem he is out of line. Maybe he just misunderstood what you were...
Yeah, pretty stupid of him calling out the fact he was ethnically different than most Jews, and then defiling their temple with this fact. :(
If you wanted to own it, there is nothing wrong with not saying anything and just winning the auction. If you don't wish to win it, I would tell...
That is due to the prohibition of graven images on coinage of the Jews. Pontius Pilate was hated by many simply for his placing a Roman Lituus on...
Seeing that the town was miles and miles inland from the coast, I am guessing a fresh water fish.
Good information. Anyone wanting to use acetone just go to your local hardware/lumber store and buy a quart for like $8. Keep it away from kids of...
I guess I am just a talker, (though not lately). I joined in 2010 but had my 15,000th post a few months ago. I think I am pretty close to you Bill...
Gary is the expert, so I thank him for answering your post as well. :)
I guess you don't get it sir. I am saying the 1970's looked like "low mintages" compared to the 60's, the 80's looked like "low mintages" compared...
There is 40 years of straight down history in mintages sir. Just because you believe current mintages are "low" does not mean they will be viewed...
I for one would like to see any "true rarity" coming out of the mint. Even if mintage is "only" 10,000, those 10,000 will be pristine forever....
Yeah, I would trust verdicare more than toothpaste. Problem with using things like that is you do not know what else is in there, and the long...
If I saw it at a show I would not believe its authentic. The poor quality of the fields and rims make it look like some kind of poorer quality...
I bought a few at the coin show yesterday for $1.50 each. I guess my little copper stash would be the wheat bags sitting in the closet, ticking...
Yes, many believe in outreach. However, every single organization who works on such outreach use the same tired, clichéd, and erroneous reasons to...
Yeah, but the problem with that argument is I have been hearing it forever. Heck, in the 70's when I was a child collector people were all saying...
Separate names with a comma.
