Those large bronzes from Anastatius thru Justinian sure are cool. I have to admit I have never checked dates and corresponded the coins to what...
Cool. Kind of fitting, since ASE are the new junk silver. :)
Good plan. Its a tough time. Many retailers believe either silver is going back up, or they can simply charge higher since many may not have heard...
I think that is a fair trade then sir. Hopefully you have a Washington set and enjoy them. :)
Man, you did well then. I agree if they were simply G-VG they should bring that, but with harsh cleaning marks? I do not see that kind of value...
Man, that was an epic read! :) The only one I would add to the list would be "All predictions are 1-4 years out, close enough to scare the heck...
I agree with Race as well. The phrase as I heard it was "if it looks good it isn't, if it looks bad it is good". Those years had blob of a...
Doesn't the antioch byzantine coin show the full statue as well? The coins with the river god as well are my favorite Tyche coins. Antioch has...

True somewhat. But, I would say the consumer of coins, (and I would label a stacker to be the consumer of them in a way), is different than a...
I agree with higher denominations like $2 and $5 coins. Same as the dollar, though, if you do not remove the bill the coins will never circulate....
Starting to look a little more interesting at these levels, don't you think? Not a buyer yet, but paying attention now. Provided you physically...
Interesting, but since we are no longer the world's major supplier of either of these, IMO demand from China up or down has a lot more affect on...
Good point. One huge advantage of a lot of modern coin collecting is a lot of it has innate value. Bottom line, without collector value a stamp...
Well this is half of my "good" bookshelves. You can see the second row down is all BM books. I try as much as possible to group, with the caveat...
As usual, great information and great post. Thank you.
