To clarify Paul's input for new members, this coin is circulated. Its much harder for a circulated coin to have such toning because its mint...
NIce writeup. I find the same, not a lot to bid on really, but there are still enough deals out there to make it worth looking.
Lol, Eng beat me to it. Come on Bill, not the strongest effort.... Detecto has a really good one going on right now, but I am not entirely sure...
I don't pretend to know what PCGS says, (so won't vote in poll), but when I used to collect these things I wouldn't call this FSB. Too soft a...
Interesting coin Doug. I have read quite a bit about Constantine VII since it is with him the rare Christopher coins are struck. Being a...
Every Fed Chairman will be either a "pick pocket" or "highway thief" depending on which side of the fence you are on. Remember 1981? Savers...
I agree with Jim. I also do not agree many times with pm stackers, but I agree with them wholeheartedly that long term investment in pm is best...
"You would make a good socialist politician" and I am an "enemy of true patriots"? Calling me socialist anything is about the greatest insult...

I agree it makes it tricky. I sure hope those retailers jumping on the bitcoin bandwagon have good accounting systems. Such gains could even...

I used to specialize in SL halves. I love these halves from this date range. Honestly, the proofs of this era are more common, (at least as seen...
Well I just picked mine up from the same bullion seller I bought a Ostrogothic gold piece from. He got a collection of old stuff, and had no idea...
Cool coin. Crowns simply do not appear to be that common. I got one of the dude before her, (I think dated 1820), recently simply because I do not...
Its tough to say either way. I believe there is a continuum of issues during this time, from good official issues, to crude official issues, to...
Late 4th century-fifth century? Oh no. I have lots of them from the Theodosius era later that are 10-12mm. That is why I used the term AE5, which...
One thing I would say about gold and silver stocks. They are not a pure play just on pm at all. These stocks are usually used as contra stocks to...
I agree with the others. It was imitating a Tetradrachm of Alexander the Great, but not very successfully. Most likely it was not made with the...
Not too small yet JA. I have quite a few 5th century AE5's, (barely large enough for a tiny head on obverse and part of a monogram on reverse),...
With toned coins, unless you can trust the seller or are extremely knowledgable, but it in person. Coin photography can make any coin look much...
