PCGS price guide is meant for only coins graded by PCGS, (even then the prices are quite high). Who in their right minds are going to spend all of...
Brilliant. The imposition of taxes do best when placed upon items with inelastic demand. Vespasian was a brilliant administrator! Not many things...
Yeah, I find myself being drawn to these some as well. I just picked up a couple of late crummier ones on Ebay, but two really nice ones from the...
If a coin is only token value, as nearly all copper coins were in antiquity, isn't the amount of metal only for illusory purposes? I mean, you...
