Yes there is, and it was even a lecture of mine I gave. Personally I think its bad business to dismiss what I wrote without asking for the details...
I use flips exclusively. Two reasons. One, with ancients I need a lot more room for attribution, and two, it makes it easy to keep the inserts I...
All I would add, and not trying to derail the conversation, is be careful about those kinds of graphs. The nature of the graph is to show...
I was going to say the same thing. I would consider toning overall a bad thing in copper if its a choice between red and toning. Now, between...
I agree with the previous two posters. I have never seen a gold coin that shiny naturally. Not even fresh from the mint. I also believe the coin...
I agree, bubbly surface is the easiest way to tell its false. There are a few other reasons, but that is the easiest to point out to everyone.
Just like other repeatable actions, (cough **toning** cough), I would never like to put myself in danger by paying steep premiums for something...
I see our own Mark Feld is in an article linked on coinflation:...
Don't tell modern collectors that! To them, a dot or a very slightly changed tail feather is a major numismatic discovery enlightening our...
I would say if you ran the numbers silver is much more volatile than gold is. Now, volatility cuts both ways, and you could win more on the...
Yeah, I have always like the facing chariot type. One of my favorite types in all Roman coins. Very cool. For Probus, I think a collectors...
I just wanted to point out one fact about ratios. What good are they? Is the price of gold versus aluminum equal to its rarity in the earth? What...
Man, "new world order", "elite insider information", "gold/silver ratio", "military industrial complex", "petrodollars", this post just about has...
What about the strawberry leaf large cents? Those are most likely either samples made or contemporary counterfeits last I heard.
Maybe you could, but I have to feed, cloth, provide transport, shelter myself and two others, while paying MN taxes! Not as easy as you would...
Exactly. Now I don't have monster mortgage, (maybe a medium monster), or college to pay for yet, you would be surprised how fast $1500 a week...
Sorry just saw the thread now. I will pull out Hendin tonight.
I think all three are heavily faked, and could benefit from slabbing. The 22 especially, but all three are keys. I do not suggest slabbing...
Well, honestly it could. Now, if that coin would have been silver it would have been safe. Silver is a natural anti-bacterial. The US's hand were...
I agree. I saw your three cents on the earlier post, and the main reason they should be slabbed is just to prove they are genuine. They do not...
