Roman Imperial issue? Just tons of those things, and many would fit your description.
Within a series of course there is relative rarity. That was my point. Very populous coins will make their relatively rare coins much more...
Eh, maybe/maybe not. How many US collectors are there? Maybe 250,000 active collectors, (and many collect late 20th century common coins). For an...
Like others said, it depends. A rare mercury dime will have 100 or 1000 times more examples known than a rare SL quarter. "Rare" is always within...
Maybe I am just the oddball, but i prefer #2. I like the stronger devices on both sides and better surfaces. To me a more pleasing coin to look at.
Yes, I go back and reread this every few years. This, along with Frank Robinson's book on coin collecting, is some of my most enjoyable numismatic...
Its possible to try to arbitrage between them I suppose. I guess I am just old fashioned, I buy it and put it in the SDB or safe to sit there for...

Gosh dang, I almost peed myself. That there is funny, I don't care who you are........
For us to definitively identify Priapatus, a head pic is not really helpful. We kind of need a "full body" pic if you know what I mean....... If...
Looks like Zeus pictured in Ptolemaic coins, yet looks like Poseidon from many painting and statues. Considering Pegasus was sired by Poseidon, I...
The only reason its a losing battle is because the politicians bent to the cotton industry and refuse to stop issuing dollar bills. No country on...
Oh of course anything less drastic could be tried, but those also have risks, (OP said he already accidentally scratched it). A PROPER dip would...
I agree. First, I don't think the mint thought that BU examples would become "collectible". They thought the proofs would, which is why they do...
Man, must have cost a fortune in slabbing. I have some sets of modern Thai coins, but have never thought to slab them.
Sadly true. No offense to any educators here, (and I know I could never do their job, heck I hate dealing with MBA students in class), but the...
Separate names with a comma.
