Well since we make the most entertainment in the world by far, I am guessing the world views British tv programmes and movies as the junk, no? And...
SiberianMan, thanks for the posts. I always wanted to get more coins from the "third rome", but so far just have some silver "wire money" and a...
To the OP, and as per Cloud's suggestion, if you are a long term holder the best investing advice I can give you is dollar cost average. Put aside...
It depends on the coin. For US coins, it has a significant affect on its value, especially more the newer it is. Most 20th century US coins are...
I thought that privately found coins are personal property of the land owner here, so not seeing how our government steals them Doug. In Britain,...
There he is. Ok, I am curious, you state that you WOULD have paid $125 premium for this coin, Would that have been for its quality or the toning?...
Its somewhat a tough post, isn't it Lehigh? I mean, most agree the coin is premium for the grade, so how will we know how much is grade and how...

I would understand why TPG'ers are hesitant about trade dollars. I have seen some pretty good fakes the last year or so. Even Asian markets, which...

Thanks Collect, its nice that someone agrees with me every once in a while. Ikandiggit, you are probably safe if your friends father can recommend...
Sorry but this section made me laugh. I collect ancient Chinese, and the thought that it is safer in China to buy Chinese coins is funny. The...
I like the idea. Ancient collectors learn a lot from hoards, even later on. Having the hoard intact may yield information 50 years from now that...
I will try to research further. Remember that even with hinged dies flan position is not set like it is in mechanical minting, so positioning can...
I agree, have seen many old folders with this exact toning. You put natural silver in those old holders and the obverses get toned like this. That...
NO need to go back to hard assets, just do not be "sucker money". Invest in firms you believe will be long term values, watch stocks for a while...
Assay results are the same regardless of industry. You are usually hard put unless you are in the industry to catch when to invest in a "minor"....
Could the die life of the reverse have something to do with the Roman "invention" of hinged dies? I thought most Greeks were struck with a hand...
