A few weeks to start, and in a lifetime you will never see all of the types let alone varieties. Ancients are a world unto themselves, larger than...
You know, learning about coins is a lot cheaper than buying them. :) I find all kinds of great pleasure just reading about certain coins, even if...
I wish we could take our swastika back. Maybe not in my lifetime, but I do wish we can "outgrow" the association between the swastika and nazis....
I think the millions who starved to death or have died being tortured in their prisons or workcamps may disagree sir. Is the country beautiful...
It probably will sir. Considering its nearly impossible to get 5 knowledgable numismatists to agree on a MS grade, and even some variability in...
Gold dollar pattern. They were trying to make the coin larger, (if you have ever held a gold dollar you know what I mean). People were just not...
The "problem" with coin collecting is there is never enough time to adequately collect everything. I am pretty sure, given the time and...
I find myself to have similar position to Chris. Its a delicate line to draw. On one side, coins are not responsible for the despicable acts...

If it's just for appraisals, I would just use the current redbook, and notate that thus is what you are using on the appraisal. Near the back of...

Noobster! Where have you been? I have tons of coins that maybe only you and maybe THCoins might be interested in. I haven't posted any in a long...
It might be interesting to travel there, as I like Soviet history too, but I refuse to buy coins from such a repressive regime. They make quite a...
There literally is no "set value". Unless its a tremendously valuable set, all sets are worth the sum of their coins, maybe less. This is because...
I would agree. I have never seen an authentic piece not from Charleston, but I have read or heard about a few. The interesting thing is usually...
But the mint/control mark is on Aurelian's side. I have a few at work with me, (have to have ancient coins nearby to hold, right), so I just...
Oh, ok. Those are the ones I own. Figures. :( I wonder why? Vabalathus is on the obverse, with Aurelian on the reverse, so I wonder why its not...
Well, I have read first hand testimonials of merchants going through silver coins presented to them as payment and sorting out coins already...
Vabalathus is #109? I wonder how I ended up with 8 of them? Oh yeah, I am a hoarder. :) But yeah, anything past 140 or so starts become really...
