I am the same. Others have read this 100 times, but how I taught myself how to grade, and recommend for new collectors, is to simply go to...
But we can grade. You know what you are doing. I will admit I wish I only bought graded coins when I was an idiot, (some say I still am). It would...
I agree. If one investor is going to buy up 100k units, in a unlimited mintage situation, this set will never be worth anything. If this is true,...
Taxila is a very, very difficult location to place coins. In the 2nd to 7th centuries it was one of the major crossroads of the world. It seems...

Ultimately, the value is the coins, not packaging. There might be a few collectors who really worry about the condition of packaging, but long...
Dang, I never used a typewriter in college. We didn't all have computers and printers in our rooms, but some of us did. :)
Yes, that, and their bad habit of many German tribes of always splitting up the empire amongst sons when a king died pretty much doomed their...
I would disagree somewhat from the writeup, (respectfully of course). I don't view Peroz as a weak leader. I view him as hungry for glory....
