    Ancient Roman Coins

    Here is a Probus antoninianus 276-282 AD, Caracalla denarius from 198-217 AD, and a Julia Domna denarius (obverse only) from 193-217 AD. The Julia Domna came to me already slabbed ANACS extra fine (with somewhat cloudy slab unfortunately). I am considering having the Probus and Caracalla...

    Ptolemy III Egypt

    Here are two from my collection that are nice looking Ptolemy III coins with Zeus obverse. Nice larger, heavy coins. The one with the eagle reverse is 21.5g and the one with the statue of Aphrodite is 15.8g. Both coins were minted sometime 246-221 BC.

    Australia lunar series one low mintage coins - need help setting price

    I am hoping some of the Oz coin experts here can help me figure out how much some of my coins are worth? The ones pictured don't have much online as far as completed sales, so I don't have a clue what I can sell them for locally? They are all in excellent shape. I paid $175 for each of the...

    Tralles, Lydia silver tetradrachm

    When I bought this it was sold to me as a Pergamon Mysia coin 200BC-100BC. I am not an expert in ancients but when I started to attribute I discovered it was not as listed. None of the Pergamon had the same item in the right side of the field on the reverse. I discovered that item is called...

    Byzantine Empire Coin

    A while back I bought a coin sold to me as a John II Comnenus (1118-43 A.D.) Aspron Trachy, that was made out of Electrum. After spending some time trying to attribute the coin I now believe that it is a gold Hyperpyron instead. This is the only coin I have from this era, so I don't know much...

    Sasanian Empire coins

    I bought several of these coins in a bulk purchase a while back and have just started going through to try and attribute them. They are all pretty decent but here are a few really nice ones.

    Help to identify coin

    Recently I purchased a large collection of foreign silver from one of my out of state dealer contacts. I have been going through it and there is one coin/medal I cannot identify, and was hoping someone here could give some input. I'm guessing it is a silver medal and not actual coin. For all...

    If you don't hold it, you don't own it......

    You would think a country could find a place to safely store their gold in their own nation? https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/01/26/report-bank-england-cuts-off-venezuela-maduro-regime-foreign-assets/

    Good US stocks to short during next correction

    I have been saving some $$$ over time so that I can short (via put options) a stock or stocks when I feel the time is right. I think I am getting close. Was wondering what US stocks you all think will fall the most when we do have a major correction (or what we have been seeing over the past...

    Ancient coins

    I have begun a new phase in my coin addiction: ancient coins. I purchased some slabbed ancient coins that I got fairly cheap and it sparked an interest in these things. I doubt I will be shelling out much $$$ since I know very little about these. Wondering if we have any ancient coin...

    Facebook site called Coin dealers helping coin dealers

    I have heard about this site from some local dealers who are quite pleased with it. Someone has to be a real coin dealer to get in I've been told (must prove by tax ein or otherwise). Apparently, there are no fees between buyers and sellers for using the site, the only requirement is seller...

    Pillar dollar information

    I bought a small group of coins from a local pawn owner/we buy gold type of coin dealer, and in the collection were two "pillar dollars". I had not seen these coins before and after doing preliminary research assumed they were fakes, but after doing more research think I might have gotten a...

    Australia series 1 questions

    I have a local guy that is willing to trade some of his 1 oz series one coins for my 5 oz series 2 coins (I have tiger, dragon, etc). I bought a few series 1 ox coins for $40 a while back from him but I want better on the trade. What would be a fair ratio (for me) to ask? I hate the series 2...

    1916 France WW1 Verdun silver medal

    I was wondering if anyone can tell me if these are really that rare? I picked one up the other day and just started some research and the range of prices is pretty crazy on these. Mine looks like the one I posted below with same box and mine has some type of document (like a COA) with it...

    "Nobody knows anything: Investing...." by Robert Moriarty

    Bought this on Amazon kindle under 4 bucks. I don't normally read investing "books" but someone I know into stocks recommended it to me. Very short read but good "general" info. I wish I had read it back in 2011. Authors give some interesting insight on some of the PM "gurus" with info about...

    Mongolian coins questions

    I was wondering if anyone knew if these coins are worth getting? I have the chance to get a handful of these in Year of the Rat and Year of the Pig for $35 to $40 (proof is higher). They retail for $80 or so and I see no ebay sales here. Thanks for any input. Coins are nice in original...

    Japanese gold found?

    Was this what that Huda lady (used to be on the PM pundit sites a few years back) used to talk about? I think she used to say though the US had it stashed in Hawaii? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4093712/Yamashita-Treasure-hidden-Japanese-soldiers-uncovered-Philippines-WWII.html Jim

    US Dollar and PM's

    US dollar is at a point of resistance on the weekly chart. Should see pretty soon if the dollar can break thru and if it does, I think we will see PM's correct further. http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=%24USD&p=W&b=5&g=0&id=p15937523203 Jim
