Some Anastasius 40 nummi do have this for some reason. I have never read why, except technically they were getting used to minting large bronzes...
I am surprised. They are pretty tightly aligned with Nabatean pieces. I don't see why you wouldn't want some.
OP, while I feel your pain, (and have been there hundreds of times), and realize it was good THIS TIME you got outbid, you should just never count...
Boy, that could really go a different way with that, huh?
So I just about set up a snipe, and caught myself. The lot I was going to bid on is not really my specialty area. So I stopped and thought why the...
I agree its an odd size. Historically its always been $1000 face bags. $100 face was invented later as the "small size". Go to a local show...
First, the bimetallic system was inflationary. Please read your history and why Bryant created his "Cross of Gold" speech. Second, the...
...and most people never even paid attention to them until some telemarketers started heavily promoting these in the late 90's-early 2000's. A...

Its a function of it being a proof. That is the danger of these coins. I would tell others to only ever buy a toned proof if you can see it in...
http://goldsilverworlds.com/gold-silver-insights/the-great-disconnect-between-paper-physical-silver/ Just thought I would post this one. You...
It really is a stunning piece. Great eye.
I was just clarifying. :) My "trick" to get people to learn how to grade is to tell them to buy a bag or cents or nickels and the ANA guide....
About the only thing I can say after this is I just don't have enough "likes" to give. One of the best posts I have read on CT, and sums it up...
I agree with educating yourself and learning how to grade. I disagree though with saying the ANA standards are the "basis". Its the basis of US...
He might have a case. The only hangup for him that I ever saw was the fact he called them dollars. Liberty is on all of our coins by law, and...
I agree solidarity was a guiding theme, as represented by the silver "4 emperors shaking hands" reverses from the period. But, you just said...
