I agree 100%. Both of the items you list are commodities and similar in that fashion. The one thing I would say Fatima that you would not agree...
Btw not to be unkind, but that is not a EF ancient coin. VF is what I would grade it, and that is iffy considering the pegasus. Weakness is not...
Agreed, that coin in 3 grades lower is still worth $20. Its a very attractive one year type.
True of many things. I just read an article in the Journal saying we have pumped 1 trillion barrels of oil so far as humans, and there are 1.4...
Axum is a very interesting place historically. Its actually the first kingdom to switch officially to Christianity. It was in modern day Ethiopia,...
The dealer is correct that the pegasus side is the obverse. Obverse is simply the die in the anvil, and it can be proven the pegasus was. We are...
I agree with you Fatima that they why is the important aspect. To me the gyrations are nothing more than the fact that silver has historically...

When I was cleaning them, 99% of the time the harshest chemical I used was distilled water. Soak them in distilled water, and replace the water...
I am sorry to hear about it as well LD. I am sure all of us are keeping an eye out for you. I am sad to say I think these will continue for quite...

Umm, because they wanted to lower volatility of the market, something that they have a vested interest in doing? The last time they did it it was...
I agree, the main thing I don't like about it is the Octavian. This coin was struck by Antony, and he intentionally made himself look manly and...
I just meant without knowing your expectations and timelines its hard to estimate if silver at this price would be good for you.
OP, your question in unanswerable. Timelines, how much silver you currently own, how much do you wish to own, value of your other investments, all...
To the OP, old fashioned coin cabinets were ok since they were made from real mahogany. The boxes you posted were cheap wood with a mahogany...
I use a denture toothbrush, and either use them new or when used cut the bristles down. You want as firm of bristles as possible. I also make my...
Very astute observations yourself Cloud.
Yeah, whizzing them wouldn't have helped anyway. Whizzing is done on EF/AU coins typically to make them appear to have mint luster and be BU...
Full steps can only be achieved with a good die and a full strike. Either one of these factors can prevent a coin being full steps. In many years...
