This is what it is about. While I do lots of things trying to encourage YN's, the fact the hobby is predominantly older is in the nature of...
I have experienced what you are talking about OP. You are nice to be concerned about them. What I did was brought coins I have recently bought...
Cool coin Mat. You really are putting together a cool Empress collection. Like I have said before, they are very underappreciated versus their...
Sure looks like doubling to me, but I think you need someone who knows what the value of such would be to decide if its worth sending in again to...
Dear Jacksradio, as a fellow Desert shield/storm vet, I understand your feelings. However, I know from going to the bazaars in Hafir al batin,...
Good thoughts sir. My only two changes would be I would think they are flat due to a lot of activity happening in bullion. When bullion changes...
Echo, I hate to say this, but to really get maximum value for this coin it will probably have to be slabbed as authentic. Too many issues with...
Bender, I agree with most of the posts. Btw, $1400 I believe is too much for a 70 set even if that is what you wanted. I am biased since I have...

The imitation Athenian coins were made in Lebanon, Arabia, Egypt, and even as far as mesopotamia. Basically the whole what would be called the...
Yeah, I have had some bad history teachers too. Sad, because they beat any love of history out of me while I was in school, it was only after I...
Well I got good/bad news from my grades, so I am looking to trade NGC Early Release coins. Would like to trade MS70 S mint coins and a 69 reverse...
I am sorry if we thought you were simply teasing here. We get many such posts. The 1928 is the key to the Peace set, so that also made many think...
But you are missing the handle on that one Kasia. How are you supposed to REALLY apply the pressure without a good sturdy handle? Btw OP, if...
No, not in any way, shape, or form. The Sassanids invented this coin denomination, and the muslims took it and greatly expanded their use. At no...
Kasia, I was not trying to say anyone who roll searches was a bad person. My experience with bags is simply my CU who uses mint cloth bags, and I...
