tsk, tsk, (no sales of things on the regular forums guys :)) I feel your pain Zeke. I have bought so many stupid supplies that didn't work out...
Doug is completely right that in the past people did original research to document number of items known based upon auction catalogs, sales...
I guess I missed the part about you doing other non-destructive tests first. I would suggest looking at the thread started a week or so ago...
This could cut both ways on an argument. One could say if it precludes it being a file it probably isn't adjustment marks, but one could equally...
One thing that puzzles me, the scratches, (adjustments), appear to not touch the edge. Am I missing something? How could the file not touch the...
Sorry if I was unclear. Would you say to always buy the 67 if the rest of his collection was 65's? What if he could physically afford the 67...
There was a video llink posted in another thread a week or so. They had to cut into fake maple leafs fairly far to see the fake core. It can...
I would go with a Corinthian stater if you want a pegasus. They were made in large quantities so fairly easy to find. I am cheap, but am thinking...
I have like 5 of the rhino right, and 4 rhino left quadrans of Domitian. I saw a egyptian provincial once but was stupid and didn't buy it,...

Probably is, but everyone needs to get into a different mindset with Colonials that is different than normal US coins. When you start getting back...
What kinds of gods? Are you looking for the classis Neptune, Zeus, etc, or open to city gods, nymphs, etc? Almost everything you can think of can...
All things being equal, higher oil should equal higher gold prices. Of course, in life as we know, all things aren't equal. I will let others...
Fair enough. I love mine, and would consider buying another. I bought it to put with my Nabatean collection, but Doug's writeup of the importance...
Good post and I agree with your thoughts and logic. The only way I could see this possibly being owned by the mint, (and not come directly from...
Of course. No one said what the backing percentage had to be. They could have a gold standard where .0001 gram of gold backs up every $100 bill....
I never said destructive tests sir. How about making sure its the correct diameter and thickness? How about evaluating details such as denticles...
Very true sir. I have learned the hard way in many ways in this hobby, and I believe both of us view our posts here just as a way to help the...
