I wish I had one from emptying myself. Doesn't seem like a bad storage medium though.
Just for clarity, I wasn't talking about letter grades but descriptive ones. For world.coins.drop at least halfway between xf and vf for example....
I agree. Also, know that world coins should be graded properly, not the watered down, overgraded mess that is US coin collecting. Rule of thumb?...
I agree, though I do not mind dollars and twenties as much a the other, old ugly designs.
Flips for me have the added positive of having much more room for writing details a out the coin, as well as being able to store original...
Good points. Like I said, I was not considering it, since I could not bear to ever part with them. :)
Actually, I wonder how many coin dealers simply use their collection as the startup capital for working stock? Sounds like a plan to me, build up...
Btw, sorry to mention it earlier, fantastic coin John. I love the unintentional(?) jugate busts as well. So much so I wonder if this...

It will vary of course. Ben Marlenee if he shop were still open today would have had an inventory valued well into the hundreds of thousands....

I know US collectors are not used to this, but its very common in ancients and world coins. I know its a little different price scale, but one...
If looking at Parthian, I always like Mithradates I and II. These two are early rulers, and their coins have great, classical greek, levels of...
Very nice condition and style Eng. Excellent piece. I admit I have never been as big a fan of parthian as I am sassanid. Yours is an earlirr...

Hundreds of thousands of BU morgans were melted as late as the late 70's. Common dates were basically bullion until the silver melt.
I have seen similar sets Greg. Usually if the coin was just bullion at the time the set was put together, (usually late 60's), they put in BU...
I agree its better to have it than not, my main problem is enforcement. Heck, at a local coin show a dealer had a ton of 1916 SL quarters, 1901s...
I have no freaking idea of what we are talking about. :(
