I believe that I paid around $40 for this old style ANACS photo grade 1913 T1 Buffalo. [IMG] [IMG]
I have purchased from Apmex with no problems and from trusted dealers' shops. When buying gold from a dealer in person, I almost always have an...
I've haggled plenty of times with numerous dealers. I have no problem with that. This was a special case where the dealer really didn't want to...
Yes, ASEs and Roos both measure 40.6 mm in diameter. I've used 40 mm AirTites with rings to fit both. It certainly sounds like the direct fit you...
Ha ha! Yes, I thought someone would call me out on that, and rightly so. I thought about explaining it but I didn't want to over extend the post....
Sadly, I've had similar experiences at coin shows with ancients and medievals. The ancient dealers I've come across typically have a box labeled...
I at least learned a new term by reading this thread: "woo woo." I'm not particularly annoyed by this "woo woo" stuff. Some of it is at least...
Yes, the Silver Roos measure in at 40.6mm, which makes them tricky. I do have at least one of them in a 40mm AirTite, and it seemed to work. I...
You should definitely read, as others have suggested, but you won't get the full psychological effect of a coin, a type, a series or this hobby...
Japan has created some beautiful coins, but none quite so gorgeous as the 1 Yen Meiji-era Dragon. The complex yet harmonious elements of the...
I paid exactly $50.00 for this Nero Hemidrachm in a Colorado coin shop (I posted this on the ancients forum last summer). [IMG] One can find...
I paid just around $10 for this big juicy Vicky cent. The poor lass does suffer from some scuffing on her face, but otherwise I quite like it....
Going on the pictures alone, both appear to be 一分銀 ("Ichi Bu Gin" or "1 Bu Silver") minted from roughly 1837 to 1868. The borders on both sides...
Coinage involves acts of Congress and, as already suggested, the mint overall turns a profit and by law they need to mint cents, nickels, dimes,...
Like everyone else, I would say French or British (though I lean more towards British), but such a small photo of one side of such a worn coin is...
I also have one of these. Though people refer to them as "Mexico Gold Fantasies," there's nothing magical or really fantastic about them. They...
A 2-cent piece collection, interesting. I've always found those coins fascinating, but have only ever owned one, which sadly exited my life in a...
Hm. I do remember feeling confused by the 2016 Krause North America guide (the one with US, Mexican and Canadian coins). At one point it stated...
Hm. From the picture it looks dodgy to me... but the picture might also be dodgy... the color behind and under the ring makes me nervous, but it's...
I've got nothing whatsoever coming in the mail. I don't think I've actually ordered a single thing this year yet. I may have to change that...
