OP, you mentioned urban environment. Your answer will depend on if apartment, condo, single family home, etc. Also your collecting habits matter....
Eh, it happens. I have been here over a decade now and have posted about it. We are one of the most Googled places for coin answers, so we get...
I was referring to the Grun example. I could see yours being a later die state of the Cammann coin.
Are you saying you think coin 2 is a die match? I do not see that for the Athena portrait. Maybe I am wrong. Both have a statue, sure, but not a...
Well, now you have intervened another party. If it is stabbed, the stabbing company is warrantying that its not tampered with. In that case of...
Respectfully disagree sir. Acetone should never damage a valid coin. He could have just done an acetone bath before a renwax coating, as is...
Just got a wild hair, but looking for a couple of bags, (1000 per bag), of buffalo's. Full date or at least partial dates, no restored dates....
I will be there in an hour or so wearing a red Twins tee shirt, 6'1" if anyone sees me. :)
Sorry I will probably miss you @BuffaloHunter . I cannot go until late morning/moonshine today. Had to work yesterday and do neighborhood cleanup...

I wouldn't take it personally. Some of us just want to hold the history. Most still keep the tag from the slab. I have quite a few ancients with...
So, $300k box? If I had to chose an over under, I would chose the over.
You did well OP. I have seen a hoard being dispersed in a couple of auction firms the last year or so. Therefore prices have come down, but hold...
I think the obverse on 1 is prettier, but like a lot of toning a little splotchy. #2 is both a creamy, uniform toning and toned reverse. Since...
Wow, that is a cool one. Hadn't seen that one before. It has an art deco feel on the reverse, but 18th century obverse.
Btw, I know if used incorrectly poppy can be a scourge to mankind, but that is more of a our problem than a poppy problem. The "seed of the poppy"...
Nice link sir, thank you. I was just going off of memory. @Deacon Ray , thanks. My baby daughter is Irene so thought I needed a really nice...
The Mercury caduceus is not the symbol of Asclepius. Asclepius, (patron god of physicians), had only one snake. All ancient coins showing it shows...
