I agree on the 300 series. I worked for an auto manufacturer and used 300 stainless, we couldn't even use magnets to pick up shavings effectively....
I like Jeff's too, of all of the dead president coins, I like it the most. At one time, in the 90's, I started putting together a BU roll set of...
You know, other metals stick to magnets as well. ;)
Exactly. For centuries art was art, and this was no big deal. Look at notes from around the world 100 years ago. In the day and age when...
I agree. While I don't use charts myself, I will not dismiss very short term usages of them. However, how many lay people fully comprehend...
Proofs are another one that photos can be dramatically different than the coin is in hand. TBH, if someone is paying a premium for how a coin...
I am guessing its a VF 1795 Flowing hair dollar. One of the few slabs I own, (PCGS). I haven't looked at it in maybe 7 years. Most expensive...
Ardatirion is more direct than I. :) Plus, he knows them better than I do, being more of a bronze man in these cultures. Btw, does it look like...
To put my "slobbiness" in perspective, ignoring uncleaned romans, bags of wheat cents, bags of world coins, junk silver, etc., my collection is...
I know for a fact the Kushan type was only struck in gold. For bronze coins they had different designs, so I believe this is proving its a fake...
Best guess is the coin on the left is trying to me a Indo-Greek, and on the right it looks like a Kushan. Both make me nervous, not the least that...
Man, sorry to hear it. I had to go to a Depeche Mode concert once, but at least it was well compensated. ;)
The key would be they would have to be SURE it was a 77 versus another possible date. That would be the major limitation in my eyes of getting...
I would expect that from you man. There is room for all of us here, and you do have pretty coins.
Mine is ugly but important. [ATTACH] A very rare example of a cross from the eastern church. This church is today extinct, but at one time...
TO badly paraphrase Star Wars, (I am not a SW geek, just remember this line), there is always another coin. Sometimes you can really get wrapped...
I am definitely in the slob category. While I appreciate spectacularly well preserved coins, little bits of metal is not what I collect. I collect...
My take on all of it is PM went up due to either people's fear of inflation or expected inflation. They are reacting to what happened the last...
Picture two morgans, one on top of the other, but the top one offcenter of the bottom one 15%. The exposed portion of the bottom coin would be the...
Bet you a slice the Munch is worth more than any Vermeer. The Munch painting is ingrained into the modern psyche, pictures in every Psych 101...
