I am not that older but have been collecting since the 70s and read a lot of money circulation. These are my opinions, but would gladly be...
Well my stupid question is about us crazy men over in the ancient section. You never know what I might send out, so is it really ok for an ancient...
I hear what your personal hobby P&L might read, but if you factor in personal enjoyment and life enrichment I think you have been in the black all...
Well if Franklin would have gotten his wish, turkey's would have been easy, bald eagles on coins would have been the rarity.
"Missing the boat"? All of the time. The truth is today is the best day for the rest of you life to buy coins. I miss deals as they come, still...
I see it as backfiring if you are hoping it will make the coins rare. Common coins go into circulation, wear down, and get turned in, lost, etc. A...
Anthony, just keep looking at posts and you will see a few dealers who's opinion is respected. I think people here don't name them since we know...
To me sir, you have shown that you listen to advice given, and even if you disagree with it you do think about it. That shows that you are open to...
I will attest that the Mexican 8 Pesos is an older style, very badly cast, crude fake. Brings back memories of the "good old days" when most...

Roman Provincials are a huge field. There is no one source for them they are too large and diversified. My source of information is 10 years...
I was always taught that chlorine promotes bronze disease, that is the main reason I avoid any chlorine containing products. Plus, distilled water...
I think Apmex has a pretty good reputation here. Have you thought of going to a local coin show? I wonder what premiums are there.
Jason, this is a conundrum. Everyone believes they are above average, but they cannot be. While this proves the "average" investor has to have...
I am surprised Mat, Arcadius and THeodosius I are both much more available than many of your other coins. Nice Arcadius Randy! Chris
Fair enough sir. I was mistaken NGC uses 1-70 numbers. Can I ask when was the last time you saw an ancient price guide or European auction with AU...
The first coin is a Roman Provincial. I would say about $10-20.
Personally JCB I believe you have wonderful logic. I find BU to be pretty overpriced versus rarity, along with key coins. To me the true bargains...
