Picked this up. I have to admit I did halfway just for the tag. I own some nicer examples already, but who can resist a Spink and Son tag, huh?...
I would agree. I am a libertarian by nature, but I see no issue with your proposal. Maybe state on your site that you have cookies, to warn those...
For the ticket scenario, I was thinking more of reusable tickets than the paper ones of today. People could buy them at any time, and show up at...
Well wild children like you Ken will always be problems. :)
Doug is right. People in the 70's were writing articles talking about the death of coin collecting because no kids were involved. I was kind of...
There have been a few Girkods over the last few years I have seen. Maybe 4 for sale, and I have bought 2. Overall, five years ago the earlier...
The other Magnentius, the Chi Rho, is a much scarcer piece. One of these in high grade is pretty large money nowadays, (Doug Smith has one in his...

Strong vice, lots of padding, and lots of time. If you are patient the worst part of dents can be reversed. But yeah, generically most damaged...
You think Boran is pricey? Try her sister. I still kick myself for not getting a Boran at a Frank Robinson sale a decade ago. :(
Depends on the severity, but unless the coin is almost bent in half dents are not as bad as a hole. Dents can be fixed, (mostly). Trust me. ;)
Not to my knowledge. I am not sure the currnet thoughts are, but last I heard it was done intentionally to deter clipping, like reeded edges were...
I have to agree sadly. Personally I think modern collectors are too harsh on the issue, but it is what it is.
I like your picks. If I had any qualms it would be the MA. Especially when starting out, try to go for quality over rarity. Wait toget rarer...
Btw, I know I am dating myself, but was Steve Martin's character on the SNL medieval barber skits "Theoderic of York"? Every time I say this name,...
As a background to some who may not know, (and I am pretty sure VK can chime in more), the ostrogoths were originally from Sweden. They settled...
Separate names with a comma.
