Anyone blaming anyone but the American CONSUMER has their head in the sand. It is the CONSUMER who demanded cheaper goods, and bought something...
What the bloody heck are you talking about, "exported our economy"? Just because cheap consumer goods are made in China nowadays because Americans...
I am sure some value, but coin collectors really wouldn't know what it was. They were made by a metal lathe hollowing out the cent but leaving...
One little clarification, Axum was not home to the Queen of Sheba. Her real title was Queen of Sabea, which is in modern day Yemen. They later...
Yes, I should have been clearer. It was from an old hardware store and the flashlight had never had batteries in it. I have myself had batteries...
The two metals are telling you what it is. Its a PMD magicians coin or similar. It had to have been made by cutting two coins in half and...

Yes and no. For a Constantine, yes. However, I have been searching for a rare Egyptian bronze for about a decade now, and one is closing Tuesday....
Best I could offer would be to look at some group lots of better sellers, (not ebay). Some regular dealers have auctions, and sometimes group lots...
Btw Op, gorgeous coin. I cwn see why you wished you still had it.
I believe its an interesting premise, and i do believe thinking of pricing outside of your own currency system is a valuable lesson to learn,...
I usually don't either, and i can remember every one that has left my posession by gift, trade, etc. Tears me up. If i eger start selling coins,...
As am I sir. I have used your website in the past, and I believe you used to be on the old Moneta boards, is that right?
Nice coin with a better reverse. Not a bad coin at all JA. I am too cheap to go that for a Constantine, but that is one of the nicer ones you will...
