Hopefully others can help you with a book. I will just say you are picking one of the trickier areas, since they have been around and "messed...
I would agree that harder to find good collector coins in VF to AU always do well. Of course. I have always said what a collector really wants to...
I would agree with others. Honestly, a coin like this will be worst off 90+% of the time. I know, I have cleaned a few like this. Best case you...
Never know though. :) I read in WCN how an operator of telephone card vending machines was complaining how the local branch of the Royal Thai Mint...
Not sure about better, but that is what is driving the premiums. Maybe I am just old, but I would rather buy when no one else is paying attention...
Premiums are, to be blunt, "what dealers can get away with". Not against dealers at all, they will sell for whatever the market will bear, as they...
Sorry to hear about it Jerry. :( I am not against buying keys if you wish to collect a set Enochian, but just to spend the extra for a "key"...

I bet it would be pretty easy. He could simply place an order at his bank. I have done so in the past for $2 bills. I worked at a company that...

Just for clarity, I wasn't talking about letter grades but descriptive ones. For world.coins.drop at least halfway between xf and vf for example....
I agree. Also, know that world coins should be graded properly, not the watered down, overgraded mess that is US coin collecting. Rule of thumb?...
I agree, though I do not mind dollars and twenties as much a the other, old ugly designs.
Flips for me have the added positive of having much more room for writing details a out the coin, as well as being able to store original...
Good points. Like I said, I was not considering it, since I could not bear to ever part with them. :)
Actually, I wonder how many coin dealers simply use their collection as the startup capital for working stock? Sounds like a plan to me, build up...
Btw, sorry to mention it earlier, fantastic coin John. I love the unintentional(?) jugate busts as well. So much so I wonder if this...
Except the Seleucid empire only controlled parts of Persia for a short while. Seleucid coins mainly were struck in Syria. First the Central Asian...
It will vary of course. Ben Marlenee if he shop were still open today would have had an inventory valued well into the hundreds of thousands....
