When I was a kid in the mid-80's I stashed a bit of silver. Sold it in the mid-90's for a mild loss. In my mind I'm still stuck in that 20 year...
In the midst of all the “Yay, CoinTalk!” banter (which I agree with), this stuck out to me. What has ended the hobby for you? That sounds very sad.
To stir some controversy, which helps keeps threads alive, I'll note that I am currently willing to pay $0 extra for a collector provenance. I...
Like the OP, I would be honored if some day my name were attached to a coin as a provenance. I doubt it would add value to the coin, but it...
Definitely true. A very sensible position. And I would guess you are not married. :)
Getting back to the job though, does anyone here have experience working in a museum? I'm curious ... many "dream jobs" turn out to be less dreamy...
That's true, and just part of it. I'm happy to be corrected by someone with greater knowledge, but I suspect many apartments in London would be...
Salaries in the UK are lower than in the US for many fields. This salary is approximately the same as an Associate Professor would receive. So,...
Oh, goody. I don't have a lot of ancient coins but this is one where I can play. [ATTACH]

Cool coins! Sounds like a very challenging series to collect. Has anyone done any metallurgical analysis of the coins to try to associate...
Tough to say, because a decrepit Eid Mar could easily be worth 100x an EF Trajan denarius. But I get your point. Given my current focus on buying...
I don't want to come across as disparaging an entire country, but I have to say that 90% of the harrowing moments I have had with shipping were...
I was also disappointed when I saw the poll. I was expecting the choices to be: - Idiot - Nuts - Language Issue
I don't know that this coin ever sold at auction. It is from the Tyrant Collection. If it did sell, my estimate would be $500k. But that's one...
This one. It's realistic in the fantasy world in which I choose to live. [ATTACH]
I agree it is a different coin. Was the seller intentionally dishonest, somewhat unclear in the language, or just made a mistake? I don't know. In...
Yes, that should have said Florian. Unfortunately it looks like it will not let me edit the post.
Ha! I didn't think to check. Apparently 1276 was the year of the Four Popes, which doesn't bode well for strong leadership.
