Coins that got away? Oh the horror stories I could tell. One happened about a year ago on Ebay. It was a Emessa stone Elagabalus. Pretty coin,...
Odd that they charge higher for online only access than printed editions. Most are the other way around, figuring they are saving postage.
3 tweet length limit? Good gosh man, not only do I not know what the heck that is, but I have never had a posting say "maximum limit reached."...
Yes, its an Arab-Byzantine coin of the Standing Caliph type. These were made in the early days of Islam, after the Islamic armies defeated...
I agree, our hearts go out to you sir. I could not imagine having such news given to me. :(
Most toned coins, in fact, are one sided. This is because of coin folders. Older coin folders had sulphur in the paper, and toned the exposed side...
I agree with others have said. These have always sold at a discount to melt, which I do not ever see changing unless copper really increases,...

I didn't think John's cartoon was mean at all. I am betting every single one of us here has turned their back on a nice day, or night, to instead...
Yes, but I take Doug's post to mean there is a difference between the "market" price of a coin, and what it is worth to a specific collector. I...

I tell you what TIF, that first pic of Quagmire is not too far off the mark. I am sure all of us here love looking at Triton auctions, Gemini,...
