You are killing me. Yeah, the NYINC is a great show, I went a couple times when it was in Dec in the twin towers, but haven't been at the Waldorf....
Actually sir I believe the majority opinion on center pivots is that they were used to round and weight a flan before striking. There is amply...
Yes, I haven't been to a show in quite a while, but your telling and pictures makes me wish CICF was going to be sooner than next April. I may...
A one sided US coin is like the sound of one hand clapping, nothing. To strike one side you have an equal and opposite force to achieve the...
How does one tell the difference? I would be curious if there is a way to know, since both would appear similar I assume.
I understand sir, but many pieces of metal are found in hoards, and bridles of the era had bronze rings since it was an easier metal to work with....
Just 5,000 more times, I promise. ;) Edit: I guess I am not that severe. I use them for relative value, and to understand a rough approximation...

Lots of those get sold. I have never really bought that they were money above the fact that any form of metal could be used for bartering. I used...
Its a common misconception, and is reported badly by reporters who cannot be bothered to actually have to learn something. JP Morgan is the...

I helped my cousin out, he wanted to do his grandfathers. His date was 1931, very sparse as well, just cent, nickel and dime excluding very...
Dmitry, you don't think it could be from gOd or One just as easy as the date? I read that any part of the obverse or reverse die can get filled...
