Aw man, now you are making me thirsty for a nice pint of Guinness. :(
Its AE Ruben. AE is ancient coin nomenclature for copper coin. We use it for any type of copper alloy, such as bronze or brass. That's why this...
As long as you like it man, its just $15. Most of us are simply trying to help a younger collector learn the ropes, and not get taken as badly as...
What "great civilization" of the Koreans was that exactly? Do you know the timeline of the British Isles? From your post it does not appear so....
and I don't like anyone touching my coins. If any of you guys touch my coins.......and I kill you. I got the reference Paul, it just seemed upon...
Yep. I have seen VF30 still have noticable luster depending on how it was stored. Detecto, no offense meant, but I would seriously get an ANA...
Numismatic wive's tale perpetuated by newspapers around the time they were about to discontinue the coin. Barber commented on it, saying there...

The only danger sir I see is not seeing the forest for the trees by using too high of magnification. Overly magnify a coin and you can miss tell...
Better? I guess I am the stupid one, I crack out nearly every coin I get in a slab, including NGC, (PCGS doesn't do ancients). I don't consider a...
Yeah.....like maybe both actually adhere to ANA standards. I know, I am a hopeless dreamer. @wingedliberty, I am just wondering if you feel...
I would agree with Pan Pacific gold and trade dollar, but not the other two. I would add that, while I know its not technically different...
I agree. Way too many professionals in the field like to use big words and make you feel they singularly are able to choose well. Actually, the...
I would propose "beatthecrapottaitzation" as the preferred description of the process. Man, the RCm is just CHURNING out the coins, aren't...
