Anyone else just sick and tired of reusing designs created by artists who have been dead half a century or longer? Seriously, is artistic talent...
But if they "quash the speculators" then I believe they are doing the exact opposite of what they intended originally. Let's face it, most modern...
Completely agree. I will admit I bought 5 sets, but I was holding my nose the whole time, as the order procedure stunk to high heaven. Chris
I was thinking more making the GAO outside politicians control, responsible only to an appointed agency or the like. I know its a pipe dream, but...
Thanks for a balanced, reasoned post sir. I too believe all countries budget problems can be solved if political will is applied. I do feel...
This is very true. OP, why are you wishing to have them slabbed? Are you wishing to sell them in a vertain venue, do you wish the security, do you...
The obverse appears similar to a coin of Soter Megas. The reverse appears upside down as its usually a horseman. I do not have photos of mine, but...

And that is why I said there is lots of room in this hobby Randy for other choices. I could see if the someone wanted more of a portrait coin that...
I know some auction reps who used to hand carry coins will no longer do so. This is just from Europe to the US, so maybe something changed. The...
Good points OP, especially about your hours. A pretty economical way to do it is to simply have a location built that can facilitate one or two...
I would have went with the top as well. My reasoning is you can still make out the complete obverse, even though crowded to the right, but the...

I have never paid duties for coins, but I simply do not know if I was lucky or what. I have had $2,000 plus packages come from Germany.
