Look at it this way. If any ancient coin has a chance to be a pharoanic coin, its this one. There still are arguments to be made about its origin,...
Some very nice modern thai coins there. Can I ask why you sent them to be graded? I own all of those, and have never considered having them graded.
This does not really help determine if these were pharoahic, since this ruler was a usurper in modern day Syria, so of course later on they would...
Btw Anoob, Tabaristan never "fell" to the Arabs. They were a powerful parthian family who chose to support the arabs over the Sassanids. Khusro...
Convenient. Just throw out 14 centuries of common law, and assume guilty until proven innocent. Regarding hft, its the exact same methodology...
Btw, you do know the US will make hundreds of billions from the bailout of financial firms, right? Unlike Chrysler and GM which was just union...
You cut to the quick Ken, you cut to the quick.... :) Seriously, I don't participate as much as I used to due to life and two babies in the...
Don't be sorry Jim. My only question would be is the same chemical bonding that occurs during verdigris then same chemical bonds of hard green...
I have never heard this postulated by anyone. Verdigris, a powdery light green powder magically transforms into a blue, darkgreen, or black,...
No, no, no. I am calling BS on this Doug. A green patina has NOTHING AT ALL to do with verdigris or bronze disease. They are chemical completely...
I guess hlw I look at it Doug is neither hard green patina nor colorful toning will be removed. For both you never know what the surfaces look...
Do I belie e they are as upstaning as most other trading firms? Probably. Do I think they are sai ts? Of course not. My only objective in this...
:) Good point. Maybe I should be looking at JPM more as well. To me it simply sounds like they are intellilgent traders.
That's the thing that has always bothered me. If some people, (like Ted Butler) are so darn sure JPM is manipulating the market, and know how they...
Yours is a case of a sad coin. I have seen similar. Once a dealer had a very attractive 1914d, (which is why I chose the date earlier), that was a...
http://goldsilverworlds.com/price/ted-butler-jp-morgans-perfect-silver-manipulation-cannot-last-forever/ Here is Ted Butler's new twist. Now he...
Depends on the coin and the counterstamp. An interesting historical counterstamp on a common low grade large cent? The counterstamp add value....
I am responding more to US collectors labeling coins with green patina as "environmental damage", yet pay 100x normal prices for "toning". So what...
US collectors might say corroded. I will tell you the prettiest large cents in the world are the green patina ones from cents found in the ground....
I believe he is talking about electrolysis. Its electrical current used to clean ancients sometimes. Personally I have never done it.
