One little clarification, Axum was not home to the Queen of Sheba. Her real title was Queen of Sabea, which is in modern day Yemen. They later...
Yes, I should have been clearer. It was from an old hardware store and the flashlight had never had batteries in it. I have myself had batteries...
The two metals are telling you what it is. Its a PMD magicians coin or similar. It had to have been made by cutting two coins in half and...
That is a pretty nice one as these usually come. I am guessing it cost you every bit of $100, and I am cheap. So, I would not be surprised if...
Well, to celebrate my 10,000th post I decided to post on Collect89's nice writeup. Like I said, I agree with his sentiments, and its been an honor...
I would agree. I cannot think of a worst material for a coin tube, (though I am sure there are), than aluminum. You are just asking for severe...

I believe its an interesting premise, and i do believe thinking of pricing outside of your own currency system is a valuable lesson to learn,...
I usually don't either, and i can remember every one that has left my posession by gift, trade, etc. Tears me up. If i eger start selling coins,...
As am I sir. I have used your website in the past, and I believe you used to be on the old Moneta boards, is that right?
Nice coin with a better reverse. Not a bad coin at all JA. I am too cheap to go that for a Constantine, but that is one of the nicer ones you will...
I think maybe the seller meant it was silvered. Btw AE means copper based, not bronze, (or brass for that matter). It just means its a...
I reject the assertion: "For each ounce of gold we have, we are willing to accept the next ounce of gold on exactly the same terms" I simply do...
