Well, that answers a question I had in another thread. I guess Aluminum Bronze isn't something we'll see replacing the NiCu we use in nickels any...
Beautiful coins! I love the history with the Palmyrene empire too... if I want to find one of those, are there any denominations that you'd recommend?
I always forget that the nickel is 75% copper. I imagine that the mint has tested alternative compositions - what would be a less expensive (but...
What purpose would that be? Most people buy bullion to speculate on rising commodity prices, or to diversify their investments, or to counter the...
That's pretty standard boiler plate to cover their backside against IRS and moneylaundering issues. If you make a large enough order, they are...
Dangit, now I've got something else to save up for. Gotta get one of those St. George's!
I'm still scratching my head about this seller: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220722321209 I wrote him to inquire about...

Some coins were only minted in proof. Most of the coins with an S mint mark, for example. Even in circulated condition, you know that those must...
Seconded. Using existing artwork from someone else's cartoon (or even copying their characters) can be a real legal pain. Why not simply redo the...
The Malaysian state of Kelantan recently started minting gold and silver coins for circulation. How long do you think these will stay in...
I would go with the older coins, unless you were comparing particularly rare years of modern issue to common date older issue coins. Off the top...
I'd recommend checking the Krause book for mintage numbers. Depending on the year, some mint marks were worth considerably more than others (and...
Thanks for sharing. Yeah, I'm not sure what would do that kind of damage. The 1907 is a pretty common date, but still a nice silver piece. And,...
And this one is apparently raising money for a new collar: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290520160991
