Damn that's a shame. My person opinion when it comes to rare coins - when a damaged example comes up and if the price is right, go for it. Chances...
Back in 1813, close to 40,000 Spanish reales were used to punch out dumps and two coins were made out of one: the holey and the dump. Many were...
I would be weary of prices as it may pose conflict of interest.
I skipped over most of the historical section. Numismatic wise, there is more to be desired. Battles were financed with gold and silver, fought...
With inflation and the penny no longer struck, soon there might be a 5 dollar coin.
This popped up in my feed. Video is in Japanese. Youtube does an 'ok' job with the subtitle translation. Missing a bit but you get the idea. Good...

I do hear them out in nature once in a while. This is how they sound. Not my video by the way [MEDIA] That is how they really sound!
I see some hope. I'm certain hiring one person is much cheaper than the potential lawsuits. I'm sure it's a long battle ahead dealing with...
