I never said $5 was the correct price at the time for silver, I thought it was cheap that is why I bought then. If silver is used in tiny...
Closest I have is Medieval European Coinage, vol 1, 615, mint possibly Poitiers. The obverse is hard and the reverse cross not exactly the same.
Well, if you like the Lydian coinage, there is "King Croesus' Gold, excavations at Sardis" but its more a metallurgy book. You can start with...
Lol, yeah I was in basic training at the time so remember the date. Those years tended to be a little fuzzy for me as well. I think us "old...
I just want to throw a couple points out. You are right about silver's properties, so why isn't it used in wiring? Too expensive. Pots and pans?...
About 1989 actually, but good points.
Well the BMC collection published volumes is about 50 volumes, give or take. This is just what is published, there are more now, so that gives you...
I agree I guess, since I have not priced US coins much since being here. Mine are still in a SD box. Its a good point, but the OP posted a modern...
OK, you could be right. I just remember the holdings they had to sell off because of their declared losses on the trades when the market...
I think it was me Lehigh. :) I never said an obvious difference but I thought I could guess what the grading services would say, even though its...
I am curious, anyone ever read that these Lexington and Concords were placed into circulation? I could see, though, how in the great depression a...
Its dirt. I buy many coins still dirty from the ground, and I clean and conserve them with Renwax. Any US coins I handle enough to get my hands...
I like your post Qwasty. I hope there are no hard feelings. I really feel bad if I had anything to do with you quitting CT. This should be a place...
I know, and I apologize to Qwasty. I really mean it. I just think a lot is lost when you collect plastic holders with little numbers on it, that...
I am sorry but I cannot stop laughing. The idea of protecting the holder from scratches, of cleaning a coin, then encapsulating it, then putting...
Whew! EVER again for $15 silver when just a while ago it was about $10? You must really be certain in your prediction. I wouldn't say EVER again...
Madonna and Child issue. One of the most common silver coins of the period. Yours is a pretty nice one except for some softness in Madonna's face....
What you do with it is your choice, but I think its a nice set and would tend to hold on to it. But then again I have never seen a coin I didn't...
I just got a group I bought off of Ebay of silver world coins. In this group was a 1925 Lexington and Concord commemorative half with a grade of...
Welcome to the neighborhood. I agree with the earlier poster who recommended the Red book if you like US coins. I remember the first time I opened...
