I actually have an extra "line" version of this coin, as well as an extra "pitchfork reverse" version as well. Just seeing if you are still...
I do not know the background, but my guess would be the bee was the symbol of that town. Ancient Greek coins frequently featured the animal/plant...
I just bought a Mexican 20 peso at spot. Are you saying there are not gold coins produced currently that are available cheaper than a 20% premium?...
LostDutchman posted early on that he buys coins from Coinstar employees that are retrieved from an internal collection device. I thought it was...
It was nice meeting you Bruce. :) I think we both had a fun time, and going by Megabus for anyone able to really helps make the trip more...
I would echo Bruce's observations from CICF. Lots of interest from foreign nationals. I have heard a lot of the coins the US bought in the 90's...
Sorry I didn't see you or Riff Hiddendragon. I was there most of the day. For my story, I bought three books, (new Hendin, new Album, and a book...
Well I will be there all day tomorrow. If anyone else shows up, I am the bigger guy in a red Twins t-shirt. Stop and say hi! Chris
Pretty poor condition. Byzantines even in the best condition need understanding of the nature of the art. Their art was intentionally...
Sir, of course it is not an obligation. Your brother was a kind man, considerate, had a great sense of humor, and we really are all saddened by...
I agree. I am guessing the color will deteriorate badly if the chemical is left on. Thankfully it is a junk silver date, but thanks again Lehigh...

Oh heck yeah, so do I! I am still here right? :)
Kind of refreshing to bring opinions like this to this board. Always a danger, since we all like coins by definition here, to think the whole...
To echo other's sentiments, to be worth more than its gold value we would need the details of the coin, (grade, date, mintmark). I know a lot...
Ingots IMHO are more dangerous than other forms of bullion investing. This is due to non-uniform shape and size making reconfirmation of the...
I agree its interesting. Was this coin stored airtight, (mostly), or was it exposed to air? I am just curious as this can affect its continued...
Is a premium of 20% really the "best way to invest in gold"? I would prefer a smaller premium for my gold purchases. What makes them "the best...
Agreed. My bust dollars don't look anything like your 1798 example Detecto. That coin looks like it had major damage and was dipped to death to...
Fair points sir, I just dislike the notion of them knowing they keep coins deposited. I don't think its right. Anything that the machine does not...
