@Gr8Kate - yes, I'm afraid that as-is, your "$1,000,000.00" coin (or so it was valued by @iGotALLtheBestCoinz in the OP of this thread) is worth...
Yes, it's true that in addition to the sketchy stuff and the snakes in the grass, there are plenty of respectable ancient coin dealers and good...
This is excellent advice, and what I did as a novice, though I was already focusing on a set of emperors at the time. Browsing VCoins.com is a...
Of course you have @dougsmit's great articles on FORVM. And the author himself, right here. Not to mention @Ken Dorney. Both excellent people...
I will second the recommendation of the Wayne Sayles books. Here is another introductory book that is published by Whitman. It should be easy to...
I lived in Africa for a year! I've seen wild zebras that weren't in a zoo! But do I have any zebras on coins? Noooo! You'd think my collection...
Feeling rather undereducated about now... :sorry: Bravo, @Roman Collector. That sounds more plausible.
Zebras? LOL Gee, thanks, that's SO much easier! My problems are solved! At least with tigers, I used to own a coin with one, despite the lack...
LOL ROFL - that's even better! :P Sounds like Engrish. I love the bit about vegetables and cosmetics. Literally laughed out loud over that...
Yeah, on second thought, don't go flipping it around. :P Good luck on the ID. Someone with a bit more helpful information should be along...
Neat coin! Carry it with you so you'll have it anytime you need to resolve an important decision with a coin toss. Tip: always use this coin,...
Fascinating factoid! Thanks for sharing that! I can't watch that video on my present connection, but will, later.
Darn, I'm tigerless. I've enjoyed seeing the themes play out, though!
Here's Deacon Ray, "playing with" my coins. Love it. :D [IMG]
I'd buy some. I had one of the Roman coin posters put out by Dirty Old Coins. They're great. But our good Deacon could produce something even...
Because of those tiny bronze Bees I found in that uncleaned lot several years ago, I tend to forget about these "Big Bees" in silver!
I agree with what everyone here has said. Even @jwitten. If I collected only ancients, I would keep them raw - maybe in nice Abafil trays - but...
I remember passing up many nice tokens in the days when I was keeping tight focus on "sets". Nowadays I don't have to. I'm free! (Or...
Nice bee! No sting there, hopefully. I found some tiny bronzes with the same bee motif in an uncleaned lot, once.
PS- I've sold my entire collection (not counting those detector finds) at least three, maybe four times in the past forty years. Sort of the way...
