I know others have said it, but man you are a god in that area of numismatics. Thank goodness you are on our side. What a weird looking large...
Scary. At first glance the obverse would give me no pause. Only the reverse, with the "One Cent" being so high, would make me look at it closer,...
I agree with others. When you buy you have an advantage since you can see other offerings. I NEVER buy a coin from a seller selling a bunch of...
Anyone ever find a worn 64? I have only ever seen one, a pocket piece of my neighbors who served in the same area of WWII as Kennedy so idolized...
Its all just silver sir. Given 99% at least of my pile is purchased, I see no need to keep them separate, just like I never kept silver nickels,...
I used to always find 64's more often than WL or Franklins. My frequency was 40%, 64's, Franklins, then WL. I think I only ever found 3 WL halves,...
Ever read "Sailing from Constantinople"? My favorite book detailing how the Byzantines allowed the Renaissance to happen. It was a confluence of...
To be fair, Byzantine is an acquired taste. Not classically beautiful like Greek, not pristine examples of portraiture like early Roman Imperial....
Chronology yes, but specific dates are largely irrelevant. One does not need to know 1453, but it drove the knowledge of ancient greek to Italy to...
What @Parthicus and I use is similar. However we adjust for culture, since its an extremely Eurocentric view that something major changed around...
Goes back to lack of education poor word choices. The one I hate is the misuse of decimated, "oh bruh, it was completely wiped out, it was...
I do believe it depends on the area of the world. What I always used, (with an exception for Byzantines who spanned the eras), was fall of Rome in...
Oh, no doubt. The WSJ just had an article on Shopify merchants. Exactly like you describe. Until the USPS is mandated to inspect every package...
Yeah, sometimes the auctions with too many great group lots are harder, because you don't want to overspend on one lot early, but they all end up...
Dude, pretty critical. You can get them for like $20 on amazon.
Wow, at that price I should dig a few out of the junk silver pile.....
Hard to tell what is on plastic or coin, especially with dark toning. Given I see three hits on shield, one on tail feathers, and a couple on the...
Given the money the mint makes from the AGE/ASE program, you would think they would give a crap more about their products being so heavily faked.
Well, at least I offer to my coin club to sell off duplicates from the groups I buy..... yeah, I don't do that. Isn't Axle still mad I wouldn't...
Oh snap. You know my name is on this thread. Actually my latest are stuck in another state, its two group lots of Greek bronze, about 200 total,...
Separate names with a comma.
