For this issue, this is my understanding. First, the bull crown was just their form of a fancy crown, like Sassanid rulers had. The name on the...
Always torturing me Doug with yours. :) I have the same coin with different tamgha shapes, with dots in the middle, with a dash, etc, and still...
Many uninformed collectors are taught that "Early Release" is somehow a premium product. Its simply old fashioned, coin dealer long con in my...
Really? That is unusual. Most people despise Sogdian coins, and find Hunnic coins, especially the Nezak Huns I posted, interesting. My wife...
I know you were joking, but offsets are by definition not enforcable. On CME markets, if you purchase an offset you do not have to deliver to...
The only certainty is that this area of the world was one of the centers of Eastern Christianity during this timeframe. At times, other symbols...

Good illustration. To me, the stronger argument is that the COMEX will get paid, period. There is massive amounts of money pledged to make good on...
For any world coin, these should be the go to books. Not comprehensive, but their numbers are used by everyone and lists most things. A world...
[ATTACH] Here are a few of my Palembang issues. I do not have any photos of Thai issues handy.
Most. The one in the bottom right, (second up), is billon. A couple might be low billon but low enough to simply be classified as AE. The two more...

IMHO, the differences you guys are missing is Heritage and DLRC are REAL auction sites. Meaning GOOD material auctioned off in a short timeframe....
