I am with most here. I don't care if someone who does not wish to educate themselves wants to buy a slabbed ancient. It's their right. I have...
Really nice writeup sir. I am younger but also hoping that my sons when they grow up develop a love for coins. My coins don't mean anything in...
My main issues would be: 1. For history, they can tell the truth just as easy as lies. Why not just better fact checkers? 2. If they are going to...
The aluminum ore was always there. We knew it was one of the most common metals on earth. The problem was the aluminum would not release from the...
I have never seen an episode concerning ancients that weren't completely filled with errors, inaccuracies, and sometimes just complete BS. If...
Spectacular specimen. Thanks for the writeup, I had always wondered what was being referenced by these ancient disco-maniacs.
That could be. I was simply responding to the coin in the photo sir. I don't think, since we are on the internet, we consider this point enough....
I have to say that I just got satellite last week and have been able to watch a little of Barry Chappell's show. Wow, what a POS is all that...
I doubt its Gallus as the portrait does not have his typical look. He always had a really weird portrait on coins, I kind of hope he didn't...

Lots and lots and LOTS of thieves in the PM arena. One must research and understand exactly what they are doing to survive here unfortunately.
I like the other two, but it looks to me that the 25 needs a quick dip. While I agree its original, I simply find the toning to be too...
Ok, just put in the law the CCACC is only allowed, at maximum, to authorize two commemorative coins a year. For the mint, I would give the mint...
I always find it funny when US collectors only like old US coins. To be honest, we produced some really BAD coins. matron/coronet head large...
Constructive comment? I would propose: 1. Using high relief dies for collector coins. They are COLLECTOR COINS. Collectors want beautiful coins,...
I remember mine like it was yesterday. My mother had one of those cheesy "vault" piggybanks from the bank. In it she kept some old coins she had....
True, but Japan also does not care much for gold either. Their main demand, (and the largest one in the world), is for platinum jewelry. If you...
Nero actually had a ton more support throughout the empire than most people realize, (probably more than Nero himself realized). For decades,...
I agree. They are really common coins, and with the major flan defect it will never be worth more than a few bucks curiousity value. You can get...
Interesting countermark. Looks like Helios to me.
