Lol, yeah! Someone called me a PM bull! See Inflexion, I am not the bear you think I am. :)
Yes, as a political stunt Russia, Iran, and others have publicly stated they wish to move away from dollars. What I am referring to is a very...
I have mentioned this before, but the Iranians right now are neither anti-dollar nor pro gold. They are importing gold from Turkey and other...
As others have said, one of the greatest things about doing a collection like this is the geographic and historical knowledge you pick up. If my...
Or spent time on CT reading threads and paying attention to the knowledge Doug, Tom B, CPMBall, and all of the other knowledgable experts here are...
Exactly. Its simply survivorship bias we are seeing. Huge numbers of morgans exist in BU, something no other series can claim. If we had...
An ancient fake would have been a fourree, but the copper core, (if this was it), would not have had that level of detail. IMHO its a 1950/60's...
I think some people collect coins like playing that game. Searching for deals, trying to "make money". Too much work for me to roll search,...

I am envious of those that can collect one coin per country. How do you do it? I cannot collect just one coin per emperor or empress, let alone...
Lol, those aren't even my periodicals or history books. Those are in another bookcase. Ancients are a pretty literature intensive field if you...
Sure looks scrubbed clean to me, and has the cleaning marks to prove it. I doubt it would grade.
The last two pictures are just of junk box purchases I bought at CICF last year. They were 6 for $110. The first one was a close up of a group of...
Here are a few of mine, besides my avatar: [ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]
I would suggest a cheap copy of KM World coins for the 20th century. That will get you started, and let you know what is available. Just get a...
Coins from countries that don't exist anymore? Does Sassanid Persia, hepthalites, sogdians, ancient Rome, Parthia, Carthage, etc count? If not,...
I agree, or horribly dinged up. To tell the difference without a weight it would be best to see it in hand. However, since it was found with...
Separate names with a comma.
