Not counting uncleaned, nor medieval chinese or similar, or world or US, maybe 3k? I am light in the 6th thru 3rd century bc, just 5 or so per...
Seriously. Count how many? Its like Steve just doesn't know me at all. :( So, assuming I could, what would be included in such a count? Chinese...
Lol. Yeah, the show is at the Earle Brown center in October. Twice a year a large show there, NW coin club show in spring, MOON in fall. At the...
Problem with bars is there is no way of knowing they are solid silver unless you drill them or smelt them. Personally, at this point i would never...
Thanks for the background Jim. So ETF's would only be a canary, if the traded price exceeds or is less than the NAV? Still, I am sure stuff is...
I am in the cities, so would be a heck of a drive myself. Plus, local shows here do not have much in the way of ancients, I doubt a smaller show...
