Nero was tainted by historians who were personally affected by some purges ordered after assasination attempts. I am not saying Nero was a great...
Do something like what? I am not a beat reporter for Yahoo, and every time I have tried to contact reporters about correct information they are...
I wonder how David Vagi was "conveniently" in Vegas. I would much rather watch what LostDutchman has come into his shop. :D
Its well worn, so I am sure its deposition date is much later. Btw, "image of the hated emperor"? Heck, there were "fake Nero's" throughtout the...
They probably know that from a Consulship number or something similar. Btw, anyone want to lay odds the "expert" owned the coin in real life? I...
Eh, maybe the Danbury mint is running out of Elvis commemorative plate images to produce. Maybe its a little less offensive than colorized guitar...
Yeah, sorry Dmitry, its been a long day at work. :(
Must stay calm and not rant about the "beanie babies" of modern coins............ Thanks Mat, what are you trying to do, spike my blood pressure?
Yeah, but why advertise that? I mean, would we change our coinage from an eagle to a chicken if we lost a war? Usually they were more braggards on...
Has anyone ever figured out why this proud naval power switched from depicting sea turtles to land tortoises halfway through production?
If you would have included my entire post, you would have seen I said that half of numismatics weren't available to those who refuse to buy raw...

Really? We are at that point in this hobby? That is very sad to me to hear this. I buy HUNDREDS of raw coins every year. I just posted in another...
Maybe I am just weird, but I consider all of my coin expenditures as "lost money". I am just about to pull the trigger on a fairly expensive coin...
Great advice GX. Knowledge both of what to collect and information on the specs of the coins themselves, is key. Thanks for sharing, I know it...
The only circulated commem I have I believe is a sesquiscentennial, (sp?). I am not sure it would make vf though. :( I got it in a group lot,...
Don't you think every counterfeiter probably has made the same argument? I am not saying I necessarily agree with the case, just saying everyone...
The reverse bothers me more than the obverse. Look at the center of the reverse below the cornucopia. What is that? A disembodied arm? The obverse...
I agree with Mike's great post. Another point would be even if a coin is truly scarce, what does that mean? I have quite a few US coins WAY rarer...
