I am surprised Claudius was so late. Usually his coins are not bad at all, with bronze being easier than silver of course. If I were going to do...
That was in the local currency, about $500k in USD. That may SOUND like a lot, but its really not when you are talking about nice coins. Mine are...
I like the retoning. I see a lot of this on RR silver. They were found, cleaned, then stuck in old manila envelopes. Even my avatar pic has it,...
That was my point sir, it was an old OP, but nothing ever became of the idea. Basically the age of this thread was proving what I was saying.
If you ever make it down to Calgary, one of the nicest ancient dealers around is Robert Kokotailo there. His website is calgarycoin.com.
I see it more of a simple, cheap political gimmick. How much of these grandios plans have you heard more of in the last couple of years?
Nice..... I am glad to see I am not the only "sneak it into the house before she can see it" collector. :)
That's fine. I was simply trying to show why COMEX does not really respond to collectors of coins, nor should they really, when we complain about...
Sounds like a bunch of hippies. :D
I agree with Doug. Man, you have to relax and realize all assets on an exchange trade in ranges. Before I came to CT, I used to look at PM...
People kiss their dogs or cats? Seriously? I will pet an animal, that is as "close" a relationship that I want.

But Doug, in general, would you say coins that are cleaned and/or have slight issues like this are found more commonly slabbed on 18th century or...
I guess ya'll aren't used to Asians as much. That lady appears 25-30. Asian people are always guessed younger by Americans, I did it at first...
Thanks for the heads up. I couldn't imagine how I would feel, and my stash is not anywhere close to that. Man, I really feel for them. :(...
Lol, yeah. My wife's "hobby" is Coach purses. I just last night pull out one of the ancient gold coins I bought earlier this month. She kind of...
I would say weight does matter. I am not an expert in them, but some were intentionally large but thinner, others thicker. Since Ban Liang...
Nice idea. I have to go the other way with it. I have to bury my current purchases deep into the pile. Only after a little while can I pull...
I agree. I don't think it HURTS at all, but soap and water would be more thorough. I still would like to have some silver coins if ever stuck on...
The portraits done with Octavian are not as pricey as lifetime issues, its just some 12 Caesar collectors insist on lifetime portraits. That...
