Cool, I was wondering where the mint was located inside the city. It would not surprise me if it moved over time, though, since they produced,...
Maybe that is what weakened the ancient greeks enough for the Romans to take over, an incredible outbreak of smug. :)
I would disagree, a slightly worn coin with heavy bagmarks should not make a 58. Bag marks are indeed a factor in any circulated grade.
This. Never use nail polish remover, and use outside away from flame. Pure acetone can be found in hardware stores.
Books are a help, but like you said OP practice practice practice. MS is a little harder, I would go to Heritage and try to look at photos without...
Yes, political broadcasting was a portion of what was accomplished numismatically. How does that mean that the ancients did not pay attention to...

Could be, or Matt is a better photographer showing luster. ;) That second link especially looks bad. Could be the danger of comparing coin...
Eh, $64 is the price of a book or less. Plus I have a decent sized odd and curious money section, so this will be odd and curious references to my...
I am with you man, except I am bad even taking pics to post here, (as most will frustratingly agree with). For those who also record all of...
That is the direct reason, but I would argue those nations enforcing such rules enacted in the Treaty of Versailles and the treaty itself,...
I also believe the poster is correct in many of his assertions. My only disagreement would be how PM is going down for 1000 years. He IMHO is a...
So just killing time last week, and happened to see this little tidbit:...
My crystal ball, (dang thing is usually broken), would say this issue will be above the 100,000 issuance level and lose money on the secondary...
