I would go with TH's answer. All I know was Indian. Btw TH, did you see they are publishing a new Gupta and Hardaker on punchmarked coins?...
That was my first thought too, panchinko.
Yeah, please do not buy such things until your knowledge of ancients is greatly improved. There is a distinct learning curve on ancients. ALl of...
Maybe I am wrong and mine is only 22" long. I never measured it, but maybe that is the standard size. I do know I can get 5 boxes wide and 5 boxes...
Its a concern, and always has been a downfall to an extent of owning physical PM. I have a SDB that costs me $110 a year, but its 12"x12"x3 foot...
Because someone will buy? We have to recognize we are not the only people who like shiny metal objects. We generally pursue numismatic worthy...
To me sir its starts to get "fuzzy" at the level of the OP's coin. I see what you are pointing out, but I am unsure of intent. What I mean by that...
Nice post Blaubart. I agree. For the record, my comment on an "inside job" was encompassing both the dogs being able to be bypassed as well as a...

Some kind of love token. Half dimes were the favorite target of these. I bet you there was writing in the center of this piece that has worn off.
Well most of the bailouts were to investment banks, not retail banks, so the FDIC coverage would not apply. Plus, there is surplus funds in FDIC...
I would agree with the ANA guide. However, just reading will not make it sink in. You need to practice. I have recommended repeatedly buying a bag...
I think some of those are really cool, but I just hate tats personally. The closest I came to getting one was when I came back from Iraq. We were...
