If you are still buying why are you wanting it to be going up? I am buying again at these new levels, but I would be tickled pink if it went down...
Yes, that is what I was saying about the darkening being the toning of the copper in the alloy. However, when I see brightly colored toning on...
Not just country life sir, I have a decently complete shop. I cut mine out at my dad's though since has a couple of specialized pieces of...
Sears are much better books. The Greek and Greek Imperial cover not very much, but are good starts. His roman, either the one volume edition, (get...
It does not sound out of line for earlier half follis'.
While I applaud a library, having a decent one myself, it depends on what you want to collect. For instance, the Sayles books are fun little reads...

You know, my Mom had a really pretty silver plate in her house with some gorgeous toning on it, until I discovered it was not silver but stainless...
So again, I am just trying to clarify what you are saying sir. What is sounds like to me is, "If I have a hidden safe I can conceal assets if I...
Like the initials on Kennedy's, its a common area for coin grease to accumulate and fill in. When I was a kid I used to go through and sort out...
I admire you saying you were mistaken and asking the link pulled. Many, if later understand how they were wrong, would just walk away without...
Well then we have the obligatory discussion as to whether gold tones at all, or any "toning" you see are in reality only surface deposits. I am of...
I do not own many SL dollars, but own an XF with more luster than this, and I freely admit it had been dipped. This coin is an AU, and as such...
