I agree with the OP its atrocious. How can intentional, demonstrable damage simply be ignored? I am saying this knowing if its true I probably...
Was it a guess closest without going over? Just wondering, since my guess was only $85 off.
Unfortunately my first wife was similar. I got to the point I had coins delivered to work. I once kept a group of 120 Byzantine coins there for...
I would think that they had, absent coins like 1849 double eagle, and possibly type 2 1804 dollars, things like that.
But we are rich. Coin collectors as a whole know much more about the history, economy, culture of the places they collect coins from than the...
Dang man, I had to laugh. Sounds exactly like my conversations. I also like the conversations about when she finds things laying around the...
I find this to be very US-centric. US coins are BY FAR the most expensive coins in the world in terms of real rarity. If I was from a foreign...
Buy PM for investment, but don't overdo it. Buy coins for the love of history, artistry, and culture. Coins are a pretty bad, illiquid...
Nice site. I would say one thing though, the Barker book is just a fantastic book, full of a lot more information than just a catalog of coins. I...
Not disagreeing much, like I said per country can vary. I would say, though, that most of those things you mentioned were pretty darn close to...
Yes, Northern SOng especially with all of the various writing styles can be a very fun pursuit. My specialty has always been earlier cash and the...
Unfortunately not really. They were massed produced by the millions. Even today you can buy a string of these for about $.30 a piece, and even at...
Btw OP, I would also tell you to never have done what your father in law had done. You shouldn't need to test for silver content on a coin, since...
Yep. Froggycoin gave you a better attribution OP, I don't have access to Hartill Qing or his Cast Chinese coins here at work.
Ching dynasty cash coin. You can always tell since they have chinese characters on the obverse, and manchu script on the reverse. Emperor Kao...
My only point sir is there are, (at least in the states), certain series I believe you would be lucky to find one in a million coins to be real. I...
If using the word "modern" to delineate more current coins versus other machine struck coins, (not comparing them versus medieval or ancients), I...
Up about as much the last two days as my after tax portfolio, (aka "fun money"). Silver has really been acting lately like a stock with a beta of...
Ok, call me a cynic, but I will lay a $10 bill down that this was a plant. They wished to make this "coin" to sell for profit, so they contacted a...
You are like me, I don't even collect US really any more but always ask for the "weird stuff". :)
