Just read an article in the NY Times talking about stamps. They reprinted the famous "inverted Jenny" stamp for collectors, but intentionally made...
Indo-parthians always give me trouble. Unless its the recognizable distinct types, I can never pick them out.
Yes, I agree. Since it was imitating a late victorian gold coin, it appears to be gilt.
Lindgren 1910 and 1911 are the same coin except for diameter. So if this one is about 25mm its Lindgren 1910.
I don't know of any good ones, just the overpriced shops in Caesar's and the Venetian. Not bad coins, but at prices that would make Littleton choke.
Yes, its a quaint little catchy catchphrase I am sure was thought up by physical PM sellers. I would never own a long term position in PM on...
Nice pickup John. I like the Levant as well. If I had more areas I could concentrate on, it would be top of my list. The pre-Roman period of this...
That is fair. There was not a lot available because the price decline was so steep. I would postulate that had it lasted longer at $9 there would...
True. If I find $40-50 FV of junk silver at a good premium, and I like the coins, buying in this market doesn't bother me. However, for a monster...
Everyone has a strike price in their head. This price could be at where they believe pm is at fair value, or a certain amount below fair value....

I just wish Medjoy would post here so I could "like" that post as well. :)
Nice ones Steve. I saw them when they were in the auction. I have a couple of smaller bronze Janus', (Jani?), but nothing that impressive.
Looks like post mint damage to me. No errors I know of would cause that, but putting the coin through a roller vice will. :( You would be...
That's the trick though, right? Knowing when its "just right". :)
I agree one side is a fairly nice coin. However, for the same money people can buy fairly attractive two sided coins. Still, its bullion. As such...
Moneta-L used to be where the best experts were. I haven't been there for a while, but you could try there as well.
I understand the differences between higher and lower quality coins, cleaned versus uncleaned, etc etc. I have no problem with the articles as...
Good articles, especially if you wish to collect classic US coins. However, a couple of points. One, I believe he downplays collector choice. He...
I think a webpage about them would be terrific. I know Tom Mallon's website got me interested in Sassanid and Hunnic issues. I have no clue how I...
