Since I try to buy Julian II when I can, I run into Jovians as well. They are a fairly scarce coin all in all. Nice pickup!
Yes, and they should. The whole AU/MS mess was created by the bad decision to say a coin not worn, (but can literally beat to heck with bag...
I agree completely. I just bought a 1911 Eagle yesterday. Its "only" a 58, but gorgeous. If not for a tiny bit of wear, it would be a 64 at least....
I agree. The date is the first dead giveaway, but the face, hair, LIBERTY, everything is wrong.
Of course not. I have never seen any such preproduced sets be made of decent coins.
Stupid me, i spend most of my time, and find much of the value, in the ads. I didn't know there was a downside to reading about coins for sale.
Great to see you got the coin Mat. Its really cool when your specialized knowledge lets you get a great coin cheap. :)
I will review Berk's book again Doug with this objective. :) Btw, I completely agree about some of the masterpieces of Greek coinage. Many of...
But the other point was how it is NORMAL for Comex stocks to drop when prices decline. Yet the pm pushers are making this huge deal out of it,...
Please read and add to favorites if you are not familiar how the Comex markets work. I find this article an excellent primer to understanding this...
In response to Joe and Doug's posts, (which btw I meant no offense to Joe and appreciated him bringing this up as a subject), any coins to be...
I would agree its a jewelers copy. Details too mushy, and authentic pieces never marked .999, (and btw they wer not .999 gold).
I got mine for about $10 when the guy in KY was having clearances on Ebay. I had about eight of them actually, i think all but one are gone now....
Actually, if you read the history, the US raised the value of gold to be able to put more money in circulation. We were handicapped by the gold...
We do not know what they called their coins and fractions. The name for a 25 mm piece I have seen as either a Tetradrachm or a unit. Smaller ones...
Overall I simply felt the book was written by a classicist. I would believe the book should have been titles "100 Greatest and Most Beautiful...
Seriously? You do know that for most of US history the gold and silver in coins was worth less, sometimes sizably less, than the stated value on...
Let's see, maybe the fact that silver is 1000 times more common than palladium, and is mined commonly and in huge quantities as a byproduct of...
I agree its tough. Most of the power of the variation of the lettering lost on us since its not our language. However, i view this similarly to...
Like Treehugger said, buy whatever you want. WHY do you think things like ASE' s are made? Because a ton of people wish to collect COINS, and...
Separate names with a comma.
