Very nice post Clinker. We all appreciate your work. As a weird aside, there were also "coin notes" I believe, payable in coinage either gold...
The first cross on a Roman coin I know of, (representing a Christian Cross and not a random symbol), was bronzes struck by Theodosius I, Roman...
It has to be a lamination because if it was an incomplete planchet the strike would have filled in the metal, correct?
Great advice Cloud, yet the majors are severely underpriced right now. I just read a WSJ article on them. I am not naive enough to believe all of...
I personally have advocated bars to maximize ounces. However, it sounds like you are a collector as well? If you are a collector, and also wanted...
I also do not think it was a dug coin. You run across these from time to time on v nickels. I don't know why, but it happens on these. No sense to...
Klawans has been belittled, but I find his books fun for beginners. Its a great point, in that the more you put into ancients the more you get out...
Still good advice. I made the mistake of doing uncleaned coins starting in ancients, made it much harder. I would also advise getting fewer,...
FWIW, I have examples of both types of Nezak huns like yours Doug. They both look good to me. You are right, to someone unused to them both...
Very good post. I agree. The other problem with even using the S&P, (though I believe it would be more useful), is the fact so many public...
I agree. Cool, art deco feel to the portrait. Very nice. Chris
I think it depends on the timing. I just want to talk about that statement though. If gold is $1600, platinum $1500, and platinum is usually...
Ever since I read "A Mathemetician Reads the Newspaper" I chuckle at the talking heads. The author, (a renowned mathemetician), proves that with...
I agree with others a heck of a deal. You are puttiing some serious cash right in your pocket. Great job.
Lots of choices. The Gordian posted is well within that price range, and large than a dime, (more the size of a nickel). What do you consider...
5 ASE's total, or 1 ASE for $99? My thought when I read yoru post that their would be no clear definition of "$200 value", and they would...
Well "coin" has been dabated for centuries. After all of that debate, and definitions, it pretty much has been accepted that the Lydian electrum...
First, there is no AU grade in ancients. Never has been. I would grade that coin aEF. I am somewhat a strict grader. Please note that for ancients...
I like the coin, its the grade that makes me sad in my pants a little. I am just very disappointed NGC chooses to make up their own grading scale...
I agree we should not denigrate bible quotes, but also we should not be making them. Morality is not an exclusively Christian/Jewish/Muslim...
