It wasn't the PRICE that Comex reacted to, it was the level of leverage. Comex does not CARE what prices commodities trade at. Why would they?...
I understand, but if I were to be the jerk I am I would say ANY toning is proof of improper storage. Therefor, any toned coin should be details...
Ouch. I wouldn't want to do a date/mm collection of seated quarters unless I have a spare few hundred k lying around. Short of gold or 18th...
Its about all known varieties per date and mm. Pull out a coin, look up the date, and see if there are known doubled dies or other varieties to...
Personally I would suggest cents or nickels. Both tend to have older coins in them since they were not silver before 1965, and both tend to have...
Its a common mistake. "Pig mouth" sounds cool. There is such a thing as "pig mouth" money, its a form of Tok money made at a certain mint. It will...
If you will be coin roll hunting, I suggest highly you educate yourself on the varieties out there to search for. Varieties are the best things to...
True story. My first "good" coin book I bought was WB on SL halves. Paid $85 for it 20+ years ago. I got it, read completely through it, and...
PLUS, most of these books will become $200 books in the future. Not all books are worth it, believe me. Just like coins you need to educate...
The kissi penny and the manila bracelet, while very recognizable, might be the least valuable part of the lot. Kissi pennies in particular are...
The 7 inch long items, (looks like you have three), are "tiger tongues" from SE Asia. The early ones were made of silver, later ones copper. They...
I will publicly state I have personally removed quarters looking just like this from albums. This was before toning was worth anything, so there...
Yeah, I remember that. Lots of people here saying it was to "protect" the gold from the big bad US. I wonder if a single ounce of that gold is...
I recognize a lot of them, kissi penny, manilas,tiger tongues, etc. You wouldn't have gotten that lot for 90 pounds if I had been in the room! :)
Typically around $80 for such specimens. They aren't as popular as the Chieng money because they don't have writing on them.
Its neither. Its Tok money from Chieng Sen. The weight is on the high side, but otherwise looks fine. They are not sure what caused the reddish...
I am very sad to hear someone has passed away. This is always a tragedy for a family, and my prayers go out for them personally. I will mourn for...
While funny, I think it was great the French produced this medal. We do owe them a debt of gratitude. Some argue we paid them back in WWI and 2,...
Centsles huh? And who says there is no truth in advertising?
