OP, it seems the premiums at your local shop are a touch high. Go to a local show and shop around. Maybe if you prove to your local dealer he is...
I guess I don't understand. You didn't put it on a credit card? I never buy something via mail order unless I know the dealer well. Btw, you say...
Yeah, you are right, I was thinking Queen Boudicae I think.
Well Iceni might have been tougher, but Celtic would have been guessed eventually. Actually, Iceni would have been an AD coin wouldn't it?
Sorry I didn't see this had been won. The dating of these are in contention. Yours is the smaller size, so later. If you want to see an impressive...
Only one on that list was alive in BC times. :) Your contest may be very hard Swish if you want an exact answer. There are only about 100,000...
Cannot read the story from your link. Is it Swedden? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/17/sweden-eu-cash-cashless-money_n_1355510.html

Agree, not seeing copper on the edge is never a "guarantee" that its silver. To the OP with your scale you really do not know anything, since your...
Let me ask, though, a theoretical question. If a fake is so good one cannot prove its a fake, is it? As a practical matter, I don't think TPG...
...and I think Doug is being optimistic. I am not sure David Sear, living 3 or 4 lifetimes, could still cover it "all". He might come close, but...
I feel your pain HD. I have been on an epic fail tear in my auction activity lately. I placed bids in some European auctions at 5-6 times estimate...
Silver King, boy, starting out on "Greek" is a tough job. I literally have 200 books on greek coinage and am not even close to having all the...
Collecting any coins is all the same. There are Morgan guys I know who can recite every single date/mm and relative rarity per grade from heart....
I would be a major problem if the US didn't have debt. Think about it, we get money in at different times of the year, so even if we lowered tax...
