My own "posted a 100 times" contribution to this thread would be the suggestion to go out and buy a grading book like Photograde and a bag or two...
Hmm, I dinstinctly remember three sizes of these in purchases. I think I even wrote about them here a few years ago when I was buying them from a...
You will never see a regular issue silver coin thaler sized, (size of a US silver dollar), in ancients. Silver was too precious. Heck, you never...
Sounds like fun. I see authors of Siamese Coins just got their book medal. I think the lead author has a shop in Bangkok. I have some of the...
