Lol, all of us with hundreds, (or thousands), of coins wish the same at times. :)
I have to disagree Doug. Many experienced collectors advise to put BD coins in distilled water. The trick is what do you do with it once you...
Good post JAF. Looking back further, if you take a reasonable inflation number and adjust the price of silver from 1920 or 1950 to today, and...
I always hate the Armegeddon talk. Its so outrageous as to overshadow a good reason to invest in PM, and the one I subscribe to. There is a...
If you are good enough to catch investments at their bottom, more power too you. I have never had perfect timing like that, so when investments I...
Yeah, but to ancient collectors this doesn't ring that strong. When I own coins of Marc Antony, Cleopatra VII, Alexander the Great, etc, having...
"Shipwreck" coins always bring a premium due to people dreaming of Johnny Depp as a pirate, etc. Its probably one of the most overused marketing...
I would follow Doug's advise. Its possible its BD, its possible its not. A coin will not be harmed using Verdicare. One other thing I would add...
Don't feel that way. There are some here who DO know about Visigoths and Ostrogoths, as well as Merovinginians, etc. I find it a fantastic area. I...
Personally to me it appears the eagle reverse on these issues are a touch more available than the wolf and twins reverses. However, both are very,...
If I were a modern world collector in the US, the first thing I would do would be to get a copy of world coins news. Many of the US based foreign...
I find quite a few Vespasian's with bulls. Its funny, since his kid Domitian was the only emperor to ever make a rhino coin struck in Rome. Seems...
Goes back to the whole debate pf how important is mintage. Its always illusory, and effectively meaningless. If only five survive, (which I have...
You guys are completely correct. Of course, I do none of it. I do not even know what coins I own let alone the other stuff. I fugure since I never...
If you want specifics for online sellers, I use www.comparesilverprices.com. compare a ton of reputable sellers all at once in real time. The only...
I agree there is no sense comparing bullion value to the price of a desirable, low mintage coin. I don't concern myself with what the melt value...
I have to agree with the others. The acids you subjected this round to has forever altered its chemistry.
I agree. However, for a single book, its still the best. I own the 1988 version, the last single volume on the subject. Starting in 1999 he...
Hey, everyone is in a different place financially in their life. I am not trying to throw anyone under the bus because they cannot afford a book,...
Like I wrote elsewhere sir, it can be dangerous. If you are relying on others interpretations of books, how do you know they didn't make a...
