I get that way with certain series. I was not able to collect Sogdian before since there were never any for sale, but now there are a couple of...
If you use water, only use distilled water. We would need a lot more information from the OP.
But its still unproven Jason. About every type of new "protection" the last 200 years collectors have dreamt up have ended up doing more harm to...
Isn't FUN the only goal though Lance? I feel the same as you, if I owned slabbed coins, (I have owned them in the past, bought in groups, etc), I...
I would say they are relatively rare than modern day states, but not scarce. They are cool though. I like all of those "extinct" countries and...
