Ok man, glad to see you taking an interest in ancients. You will find dark marks fairly common on ancient silver. No harm at all, unless it makes...
Not picking on you Inflexion, but I just want to stress this point one more time. Everything that everyone is talking about here is "Weighted...
Interesting post LD thanks. If anyone is curious, these are also found on ancients, but most of the time on the flans not from the die. They...
Corrosion? The little dark mark? Dang, if that bothers you like Doug said maybe ancients aren't for you. The only thing like that that would be...
I agree that "improperly cleaned" and "harshly cleaned" are in fact the same, since you can clean a coin properly, in a method that is not harsh,...
Yeah, those ideas were common. There are tons of numismatic items with stickers or stamped that it was part of the payroll from a certain local...
That is thinking outside the box to attract customers, huh? Reminds me of the thread talking about the SF set they are asking opinions on. I was...
I thought they froze the dates because of delays in getting permission through Congress. They removed the mintmarks in 1965 to try to discourage...
I agree with Doug. Btw, there has been regular coin shows on the air over the years, ones just talking about coins but not selling any. Problem...
I read it was an open design competition. I agree its quite a brilliant layout.
If its yoru first show just go a look around. No need to buy anything if you are uncomfortable. To me, getting to know the dealers at the show,...
I agree with Conder. Its an idiot idea by a man who simply is ignorant of tax law. The reporter did make mention of it in the article, but to me...
Or just retone it inside the slab.
Sounds identical to what TPG does with ancients. On the average, they are one whole grade too high. The worst part though is their using US grades...
I see nothing wrong with them sir, but toned coins always are a crapshoot nowadays. However, yours are lightly toned, so I am betting that all...
Tristen, its pretty common people post here about 1965-1969 quarters thinking they are silver. The reason is that clad coinage was new, so metal...
Man, how Dare you bring the thread back on track! ;)
I agree with her as well of course, but something like that would take political courage to stand up to groups who support the status quo, and it...
Nice one. I like 19th century mexican coinage for some reason. (I know yours is 20th, but same design as 19th). :)
In that case $11.66 an ounce would be your weighted average cost per ounce. Add up all buy cost, subtract sell cost, and get a net investment and...
Separate names with a comma.
