If it helps Detecto, coins after the 6th century BC generally have writing on them to denote who made them, value, etc etc. Its extremely rare for...
Its great, but still won't stop people listing fakes as genuine. Already about 90% of chinese coins on Ebay are fakes listed as good coins. I get...
I mainly agree, but the silver pack was misleading since it referenced 1792 as the controlling act and it was not. Also, they only reason silver...
I agree sir. I never said they were selling for that much, but then again I don't think junk silver sold for its true value until much later. I...
Did you read about the act of 1873? It is in "proper historical context". The definition of a dollar in a certain number of grains of silver was...
I disagree with both of you. Silver was demonetized in 1873 I believe, and its aftershocks gave rise to William Jennings Bryan's career. Read...
