Pricing something at 40 shillings though just doesn't make sense it would be like us pricing something today as 40 dimes. We would say four...
Yep, will they think to do it? Would they care? Let it happen, get more submissions.
Or like a lot of modern proof sets a down tick.
If all it said was 40/ it was probably 40 pounds, because 40 shillings would not have been written that way. 40 shillings was 2 pounds and would...
Yes and no. I like getting the coins, it's the bank balance rapidly headed toward zero that hurts.
The GSA said unsalable, of course I guess if they got lost in the shuffle and they couldn't find them at the time then that would make them...
Sorry to say it but both of those coins are fakes.
And if they do I bet we will see a lot of people "borrowing" receipts from those who do buy at the show so they can show "proof" and get their...

Looks like some MDD on the right upright of the M, possibly some on the E of DIME as well.
Not so much an editor as a second (or more) pair of eyes. I've run into the same problem myself. I can proofread several times something I have...
Why is the Secret Service involved? They do counterfeiting and presidential security not stolen property. Did a Presidential candidate get his...
The guy from Blanchards has his story all mixed up. Yes there was a wreck and a death, but I believe Walton was traveling alone not a couple. The...
And that is just what was recovered on this series of dives. The number of 1857 S double eagles recovered in the first series of dives years ago...
Yes I've heard of the "GSA gold hoard" and it is pretty much as Matt has said, these were just coins that the government had acquired, possibly...
Separate names with a comma.
