I believe Isaac Asimov based a lot of his Foundation books o the rise and fall of the Roman Empire.
I see some small marks that are not what I would expect from using a brush. I am looking for small, parallel lines that are indications of...
All well and good, but I still don't see the hairline scratches that you apparently do and mentioned.
Okay, I think I looked closely at the 1943 half, and I don't see the hairline marks that you apparently do. Would you please indicate where you...
But you don't want to depend on the book values. Better to use auction prices, which are more current than any book.
I thank everyone for their informative posts. I will post a picture of my own ancient coin as soon as I can get a good one. I'm beginning to...
Very good, and thanks for your response. It makes sense, I just wondered if anyone had ever thought to research and write about such things. You...

I don't have a real problem with them, even after reading what SGS was all about. Given that I needed nickels in that date range, I can use most...
At a coin club auction last year I picked up a freezer bag of eight nickels. There is one for each year from 1952 to 1959 and they all have some...
I do like Morgans, but I'm not too crazy about the toning. It's not that I prefer blast white, but to me the colors detract from the elements I...
I recently bought both volumes of the fifth edition for my Kindle for a little over $22. I prefer the ebook because I can easily take it with me...
Why not? Aren't they all a form of doubling? I mean, they do have some form of the word double in them. And I would have posted a picture of...
