Plus, if authentic, this coin is worth a ton more than that. Ask yourself why someone wishes to sell a $30,000 coin for $3000. That will answer...
I would have to agree sadly. 18th and 19th century Spanish are probably the most faked coins in China outside of Chinese coins. I understand...
Agree completely. Looks like an authentic iron cash coin. I have never seen them slabbed before either. Not bad for an iron issue. I hate the lack...
Alright, FINE Doug, but I will still argue the Venetians took THEIR design from the Byzantines. :)
Byzantine gold was fairly pure, so figure 90% at least. However, forgeries can have as much or as little gold as needed in them. Not sure of...
Sure doesn't ring a bell, but I am not sure enough to say its a tourist fake. The obverse looks like a classic A3 anonymous bronze obverse, yet...
Or groups on Ebay. Pay attention to these. I know there are tons to sort through, but I bought a folder one time with world coins in pages and...
I am reposting this. I don't have as many emperors as before, but still have many higher grade coins left. For Christmas, either emperor with Chi...
Depends I suppose. Every type of coin is a little different. Some are cheapest on Ebay, some are cheapest at coin shops or coin shows. Not many...
Not saying I am right, as I am going off of memory here. I collected XF/AU coins, with some VF's thrown in. I do not recall any of my coins not...
Both look male to me, but then again I am used to the ancient's depiction of young men. To be honest, though, I also always thought barber...
Personally I don't see that. Clasps on the later bust halved frequently are not worn down until the grade of VG-F. For a VF you expect to see a...
Thanks. Very informative. Any opinion as to the weakness on the inside of the wing? I have seen that before, but usually in connection to a...
I like the change jar idea. Put yourself on a $2 a day allowance. Put the $2 in yoru pocket each day, and IF you buy junk food pay with it from...
Were any of the ASE's ever released into circulation at face value? No? Then I consider them all NCLT coins, like colorized Palau, Liberia fantasy...
But they wouldn't need to, would they? The point of making PM illegal would be to force everyone to be on the USD standard, not the trivial amount...
Looks like a tourist fake. Face is wrong, owl's body not right, everything about that coin looks like a modern counterfiet, sorry.
Best ways to ship a coin I have found is put them in paper envelopes and tape them to the side of the envelope, (inside of course). If its a...
I am just curious, for those who believe PM will be their salvation if the currency collapses, about why they believe it will be different this...
How do we know "retail americans have been net sellers for years"? Like I said previously, the US being an exporter of gold is not any more...
