Well I understand why some of you may think this is simply rumors. I firmly believe it since I know the collector involved, I know he can afford...
I would if I could man. I know many on this board are nowhere near Chicago, I was just hoping a few of us were close enough to attend and meet up...
Yes, they are a cancer that has already grown deep in world coins here, and tries to spread to ancients. Sorry you had to see that mate. I do my...
This just happened pretty recently. I also heard he was the buyer of the Judea Capta that was was appraised at 5k and sold for over 100k. Of...
I am fully cognizant of peak theories. It is in toto production of a resource. My point was it is technology or geology that has brought us to...
No, I am advocating ignoring the actions of one billionaire, actions that which are now illegal. The rules of the market were changed after this...
Chicago International Coin Fair, the biggest world and ancient show in the midwest, one the the biggest in the nation. It is April 14-17th 2011 in...
