I agree completely. There are two different scenarios that can play out, and different morality. One, you are buying from a dealer. S/he is a...
Me as well. Sorry. It appears a casting line is on the edge, filed down but still there.
I thought Ripley's had the little sprue on it to input into the shaft? That is what I typically look for, as I read this was an advancement over...
Looks Roman. There is no way of knowing, though, best that can be said is it appears to be the type used in Europe in that era. Heck, could have...
I would rate "The coin" in EAC circles, the SP66 Chain Ameri cent, as being even more important. The hard thing about all of these things is they...
Historically the Brasher doubloons were the most desirable US coin. Then around 1860 the 1804 silver dollar gained notoriety and it became the...
ALMOST always you only need the current editions of any such book like this. There are times where reprints are worst quality, or where a...
Brighter light. What we are seeing is an example of a Carthaginian silver coin, (shekel, etc), but with dark toning. The dark toning bothers...

Not nearly as nice as Redwin's example though.......
I would think gold and silver would be down then, with booze and other "accoutrements" up. :) I know if I am dead tomorrow I don't want the...
I agree with this. I believe this coin has average style. There are much better, and much worst examples. I swear this series is the poster child...
Interesting article. I particularly wonder why Romania would associate with Dacia so strongly, (nothing wrong with Dacia of course), when...
Do you have some photos of the edge? I agree with Doug and Mat, the dark silver coins always give me pause.
LD, I would say just to sell it like any other dealer with return privileges. I understand what you are saying though. In Indiana you simply...
Now come on. I buy from a few excellent dealers in China. I wish US and European dealers had such great customer service skills as these dealers...
I agree with posts here saying what the banker did was not right. Personally, (and I am this big of a jerk), I would go to the branch manager and...
Cool piece Mat. If I ever get into RR more it definitely would be up pretty high on my list as well. I read an excellent writeup about the piece...
Separate names with a comma.
