Nice ones. I find myself drawn to 18th and 19th century Latin America, but not strong enough of a pull for me to strongly study and concentrate on...
I find a few things sometimes mainly on world coin pricelists. World coin dealers sometime will have decent prices on some ancients, other times...
Reading through the list, I see nothing worthy of a commemorative coin in the first place. I am very glad none of them passed personally.
The whole idea hurts my brain, sorry. First we had coins, we collect coins. Then we had shenanigans and paid for a third party to grade coins on...
You made this hard @lordmarcovan, (btw thanks for the contest). I came here specifically because of the walker, ( my mother's birth year), but the...
I tell you what, that contest I just might enter. :) My mother was born in 1944.
Yeah, I am sure I cause consternation as the underbidder at times as well. One auction in particular, I was the underbidder on every bid for 2...
So, I was looking at a lot on Triton. I really was torn. Given where it was at, it would have cost me about $10k overall. Not a lot to some, not...
Minus Russia, the US is quite a bit larger than Europe. The distance from FL to NY is over 1,000 miles through some pretty busy highways. Not...
For gold bullion related coins, not one on a want list really. I like 19th century Latin America gold, (I know very random), so any of those at...

That is where I am at with the discussion, most likely a crude barbarian copy. Even 300 years ago fakes were MUCH better done than this. Its so...
I am not aware of 2% silvered coins at that era. Not an expert but own many of his coins since I named my son after him and buy them for my son. I...
I don't disagree I dislike the lack of privacy. As for the digital dollar, that could be an issue in the future if they discontinue physical...
The reason we always had paper money more in circulation is people simply prefer it. Silver dollars were minted to back silver certificates, no...
Great post OP. With the Chinese fakes nowadays I would never try to score a cheapo on Ebay. Way too many fakes unless I had deep knowledge like...
Thanks guys, I read the title, then saw the coin and my head nearly exploded. OP, most emperors have portraits that you can roughly identify them....
Agree with @rte dip it and then quick acetone bath, air dry or DW bath and air dry, and put it in flip and sealing opening like @desertgem...
I agree. It's well documented Indian trade, and many Roman gold coins were found there, and later local imitations. However, India valued gold. I...
How about we declare any items that can either be proven to be looted from an important site, or if an antiquity reasonably be shown it was,...
