Yeah, and also which Krause? I hear from many current Krause pricing is all over the board and really have no bearing to the hobby at all anymore....
Good writeup. You are right, almost any sulfur source except for paper is "too much", and the sulfur reacts too violently and therefore not as...
Look at @sand coin in post number two. See how its toned in front of the face? Also notice how the toned area is lustrous, (shiny)? That is the...
Yeah, but on silver high doses of sulphur in a short reaction time react differently that low doses of sulfur over a long period. That is how you...
I think some of the concern and desire to differentiate is both durability and desirability. What most would call natural toning takes more time...
True silver toning comes from intact surfaces of the silver that melted when struck. Some ancients that were buried fairly quickly can retone, no...
Basically agree. Spot is the current cash market price for the commodity that day. "Melt value" can be used as the value of the pm in the item,...
Now you are really getting into a sticky wicket @Bing. Lots of disagreements exist on where ancient ends and medieval begins. Personally, my...
I own some but too lazy to dig them up. Looking for decent selection/condition early 20th century, WWII issues, and maybe McArthur issue after war...
Btw @1stSgt22 I am sorry this thread has turned out to be a commentary on the design. Personally I am very happy you got a coin you desired, and...

I cannot tell much untoward, looks like hornsilver was removed and that was what was left. Extremely common with ancient silver coins. I would...
I agree with all three points. The initials look like graffiti applied to the coin, and the bandaid....I cannot unsee it now either. :(
Yeah, but how would you like to revalue your money every day, up or down, based upon a market like Comex? I know, someone snarky will make a...
I agree. We are on a coin website. We know more about coins and investing in physical pm than almost anyone else in the world. Everyone has a...
I agree, I hear of USD circulating widely around the world but never have heard pre-65 circulating. Problem with PM circulating is they would have...
Interesting point. I am unaware of the Roman empire having a flag. I wonder if flags simply derived from military standards, in that in Europe the...
Or a dealer just spent them. Some proof set dates you can buy and just sell off the cent at a premium and spend the rest. Usually the cent and...
I view it that PM spiked in low inflation for protection and too much assets being around. Now, interest rates are higher, (attractive alternative...
Separate names with a comma.
