Ever get on a "clean up my coin mess" kick? I am in the middle of one right now. I got all of my US coins in a SDB now, (save a few stragglers and...
This coin was in a thread a couple of months ago, and an Italian member said the same thing. It appears this is the consensus of Italian...
I agree an excellent post by jcakcoin. Now, imagine having an entire BOOK of such great advice! This is why I advocate buying a good book on a...
In my experience they tended to track drink prices. Of the tokens I have, the 5 cent ones are usually the earliest, dating from around 1890-1910....
I believe you are right Owen. I see the two also. These are tough not seeing the size of the coin. A 2 Real is a little better coin, but not in...
These one reale coins in that condition are not worth much. I have bought groups of them for not much per. Its a cool coin, but in low grade not...
Yeah, I was about ready to type "good luck with Otho". :) I find your collection commendable, if expensive. Many collectors have concentrated on...

I believe the rarity has more to do with WWI than general circulation rarity. I believe I read a great many, if not a large majority, of these...

Well I would modify my comments, EXTRAORDINARY coin. That is the type of high dollar, spectacular sestertii collectors think about stabbing others...
Well now we know how they chose the colors for our new currency. :)
That is definitely a nice late roman. Very nice example. :)
I don't think it detracts much. A DD on the obverse would be a greater detraction. Really nice coin! :) I bet that wasn't cheap.
Fair enough sir, you did not. My fault. :)
Last I saw gold was down more than 10% this year, coupled with lost interest you otherwise would have earned investing in a T-bill, and I don't...
I view it simply as NGC's response to PCGS' similar programs. I case of tit-for-tat.
Yes it is a learning process, and usually one that most collectors do not learn until too late. I know I hated that lesson when I learned it. I...
Or I would say Race could try to sell some collections here if he wished. I know there aren't a ton of deeper pocket buyers here, but a few of us...
Excellent advice. I find way too many collectors don't study coins any longer. Way too many are concerned with "deals", slab grades, etc. Slow...
