Date: April 2nd, 2024 8:58 PM Author: Navy Galvanic Twinkling Uncleanness Interesting selection. Who's on the sestertius? Is it dated by year of rule?
I think Asian coins in general are undervalued, but the language barrier is a bit too intimidating for me. |

Date: May 5th, 2024 12:19 PM Author: Crimson mood I have a box of em, doubt they’re rare and probably not worth much but it’s cool to see the swastika on them and wonder who might have held them before. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5512628&forum_id=2#47637045) |

Date: May 5th, 2024 12:26 PM Author: Navy Galvanic Twinkling Uncleanness You should buy a book on the series and go through them sometime.
I don't specialize in modern coinage, but I have a 1942 Russian 10 Kopek (nickel-size, non-silver small denomination coin) that's rare because Leningrad was under siege at the time it was minted; obviously, not many of these were made.
It's interesting to know the history behind old coins... they're literally artifacts from past times. |

Date: May 5th, 2024 12:34 PM Author: Navy Galvanic Twinkling Uncleanness I really thought people on this site would have some key US or modern world rarities.
Looks like I'm the only numismatist here :( |

Date: May 5th, 2024 12:50 PM Author: Navy Galvanic Twinkling Uncleanness There are three classes in the coin world: dealer, collector (what I think you're interested in), and numismatist (researcher).
It's hard to be a collector without the numismatic/research side to aid you.
Your only defense against scams & getting ripped off is knowledge, and you're only going to get that through research. The internet can be useful (though not often), but you really need a numismatic library & some degree of activity in the field like attending shows.
Fortunately, shows range from free to $10, and books can be had for good prices nowadays (because nobody reads anymore). |

Date: May 5th, 2024 1:08 PM Author: Navy Galvanic Twinkling Uncleanness Don't let one ill-founded foray into something worthwhile scar you for life. Just learn from your mistakes and do better next time :) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5512628&forum_id=2#47637165) |

Date: May 5th, 2024 1:17 PM Author: Navy Galvanic Twinkling Uncleanness A year 1 shekel from the first war (AD 66/67) would be a great coin to have. You could get a decent specimen for around $5k.
I can't read Hebrew, though, so I prefer coins dated in Roman or Hindu-Arabic numerals (about 1300 years later). |
