The OP created the thread since somone else created a thread contending its always cheaper to buy online than at a coin show. You are right, good...
Interesting theory. Btw I agree it will always be a subject of debate. However, I think you put too much emphasis on Charlemagne. He was the...
Very nice dealer, I have dealt with him for years. My favorite Minnesota dealer. His main business is world coins, but buys and sells all coins,...
Is it that bad to have to agree with me? ;)
Matt is a member here, but this review has absolutely nothing to do with this fact. I have ordered coins from him numerous times. He is always...
"Investing in coins". Bad, bad idea. If you want to invest, invest in investments, (stocks, bonds, land, etc). If you wish to diversify then...
Lol, I hear you. Auctions on other sites are up for a month of more sometimes. Even worst. I was looking at a coin a long time, and was high...
Just be careful guys. These aren't hoards in the proper sense of the word. A true hoard of coins are a group found together that the owner buried...

They are early October and late March. The fall show is called the MOON show, the spring one called Northwest Coin Club show. Let me know and I...
Thinking about this coin, it's exactly what drove me from US collecting. This coin would be slabbed Unc. However, it looks like this. This is why...
The dog is actually an interesting play. I expect good things for Vietnam as China's wages are forced to rise.
I will wait until a few others might wish to chime in, but I will say there is one in there in pretty exceptional condition for the issue, but its...
Oh, ok sir. Hard to tell from photos. Man, that should have been classified as rework at the mint. It is brutal their QC didn't catch that. I...
Btw Steve, I was hoping you would post here. The next lot AFTER this coin was a Stephen coin, also of Constantine VII, also the earliest depiction...
