Interesting piece. I too would highly doubt an Arabic word being used on Sasanian pieces of this timeframe. My only thoughts would be two fold:...
I view palladium as tied to gasoline engines long term. If you think EVs will continue to make inroads, that would be negative to palladium long...
I got mine at an auction on VAuctions or Agora from a dealer who was out of Georgia. I loved his auctions but he took a job with a major dealer...
Must be a rare subvariety if they are saying only 2 known. I own a gold Bannassac chalice issue.
Nice start. I do admit I appreciated each coin much more than I do now when I had fewer. As your collection grows you will find its great to own...
Nice ones. I find myself drawn to 18th and 19th century Latin America, but not strong enough of a pull for me to strongly study and concentrate on...
I find a few things sometimes mainly on world coin pricelists. World coin dealers sometime will have decent prices on some ancients, other times...
Reading through the list, I see nothing worthy of a commemorative coin in the first place. I am very glad none of them passed personally.
The whole idea hurts my brain, sorry. First we had coins, we collect coins. Then we had shenanigans and paid for a third party to grade coins on...
You made this hard @lordmarcovan, (btw thanks for the contest). I came here specifically because of the walker, ( my mother's birth year), but the...
I tell you what, that contest I just might enter. :) My mother was born in 1944.
Yeah, I am sure I cause consternation as the underbidder at times as well. One auction in particular, I was the underbidder on every bid for 2...
So, I was looking at a lot on Triton. I really was torn. Given where it was at, it would have cost me about $10k overall. Not a lot to some, not...
Minus Russia, the US is quite a bit larger than Europe. The distance from FL to NY is over 1,000 miles through some pretty busy highways. Not...
For gold bullion related coins, not one on a want list really. I like 19th century Latin America gold, (I know very random), so any of those at...
Especially the ultra rare 11 cent piece. That one was priceless.
That is where I am at with the discussion, most likely a crude barbarian copy. Even 300 years ago fakes were MUCH better done than this. Its so...
I am not aware of 2% silvered coins at that era. Not an expert but own many of his coins since I named my son after him and buy them for my son. I...
I don't disagree I dislike the lack of privacy. As for the digital dollar, that could be an issue in the future if they discontinue physical...
The reason we always had paper money more in circulation is people simply prefer it. Silver dollars were minted to back silver certificates, no...
Separate names with a comma.
