More often than not we see that people try to interpret the history as per their own perception ignoring basic facts & standard procedures followed for such sort of deliberations.they seldom endeavour to give notice to archaelogical, numismatic & other written sources of history before airing their views.
Pytanie #6:
I started buying these coins when they were first issued. I am lacking the tiger and the ox. I have found a place to purchase these coins. My question is this, are these coins a worthy investment, enough to start picking up series 2? I am not wanting to know about the silver investment rather the numismatic investment. I know most of the series one coins are low mintage 52,267 for the ox to 118,697 for the dragon.

Pytanie #8:
I have been researching federal laws (SEC and CFTC laws) and still cannot understand if a bullion coin is considered a security? If so, how? Would it be considered an investment contract? And in that same aspect, if it is a security, then would that mean that the person selling it has to be registered with the SEC?
Same question would apply for numismatic (or collectible) coins.
THANK YOU!!
Thank you Jeff. Can you elaborate on what would be a derivative contract? I understand it's a 3rd party contract but how would this affect the sale of a coin?

NEW EVIDENCE THAT THE SHROUD IS REAL
The image of a coin placed over the right eye on the figure on the burial cloth actually shows the coin was minted near the time of Christ's death, according to Rev. Francis L. Filas, S.M., a top expert on the Shroud. With the assistance of coin expert Michael Marx, Father Filas has identified the image of a coin imprinted on the shroud as a coin minted only between A.D. 29 and 36. Christ died in A.D. 30. Placing coins on the eyes of the dead was an ancient burial custom in Christ's time, according to Father Filas, professor of theology at Loyola University of Chicago.
Using high quality, high contrast photos of the shroud, Father Filas and Michael Marx deciphered that the coin clearly features a tiny staff, called a "lituus," bordered by four Greek letters. That staff and the Greek letters were found only, on coins minted during Pontius Pilate's governorship of Judea, from A.D. 29 until A.D: 36.
"All coin experts agree that Pontius Pilate alone issued a coin with the staff on the back of it." Said FATHER Filas.
Marx, a coin expert for more than 35 years and owner of M. and R. Coins and Stamps in Oak Lawn, Ill. Concurs with the theologian.
"As a coin expert, I can confirm that the coin that appears on the cloth is one of the coins issued only during the last seven years that Pontias Pilate was governor of Judea--A.D. 29 to 36," he said.
"The markings on the coin date the shroud within that seven years period. The shroud is obviously real."
And Dr. Nancy Waggoner, curator of Greek coins at the American Numismatic Society, confirmed that the coins with the lituus on one side fall within the time of Pontius Pilate's governorship.
DNA Tests Find Jesus' Blood On Turin Shroud
Electronic Telegraph
The Turin Shroud will be at the center of fresh controversy when a scientist details his claims to have isolated DNA from the "blood of Jesus." In his book, The DNA of God?, DR Leoncio Garza-Valdes, a former professor of microbiology, describes tests carried out by colleagues at the University of Texas which show that the "red" areas on the cloth, far from being paint, are ancient blood stains of a group consistent with a Jewish male. The book details the experiments which show that the "blood" on the shroud is ancient and contains XY chromosomes--which establishes it as human and male. The tests were conducted by a team headed by Dr Victor Tryon, director of the Center for Advanced DNA Technology at the University of Texas Health Science Center.
Gene segments from the stains showed that the blood came from a male with an AB blood type, common among Jewish people. Dr Garza-Valdes, a practicing Catholic, said that the placing of the blood traces strongly indicated that the body was that of Jesus.
"Not many people in the first century suffered all those lesions, the crucifixion wounds, the crown of thorns, the spear wound in the right side of the chest, the flagellations," he said.
Pytanie #11:
What’s a great way to organize world coins of varying sizes and in various types of holders such as flips, slabs, presentation cases (those bulky velvet-hinged boxes—argh!), etcetera? I have a strong 3-ring binder with clear baseball card-slotted pages (9 to a sheet), but it’s still feels ad hoc. Numismatic slabs don’t fit there, so I then have a ‘slab’ box. . . .
It’s driving me nuts. There must be a BETTER way to store coins, yet also have them organized and easily accessible for viewing. If you know of a brand name or product type that addresses all these issues, I’ll be most impressed and most appreciative!
Did I mention labeling the coins? That's one more relevant issue.
I think I'm still looking at doing this with folders, notebooks, folios, files, books or specialized storage bins or boxes that allow for quick access and viewing, with a minimal amount of info attached. I am unable to put all coins in a specific kind of holder: some coins need to stay in their ANACS slabs, some in coin capsules, some in Mylar flips, some in a presentation media from the mint where they originated. Think computer files and folders: the question is how does it all go together?

I have a Gold Quest specially minted coin,which has a sun dial on it. I have a purity certificate along with it. This really is a collectors item.
Pytanie #15:
I recently inhereted my deceased Father's coin collection, so I'm very new to the hobby. All his coins are American coins, and many are almost pure silver or copper. Many of the other coins are either clad with silver, or made up of other types of metal. I plan to finish his collection and either keep it until I'm old and need money, or I'll pass it all down to another generation. My point is, I dont plan on selling any of the coins any time soon, if at all. I was unable to stop myself from cleaning all his Walking Liberty silver 1/2 dollars, but (so far) have resisted the urge to clean his Mercury dimes, Buffalo nickles, Franklin 1/2 dollars, Flying Eagle pennies, and Indian Head pennies. Some are very very old---AND very very dirty. Some of his nickels are even growing hard blue-green knots on them. To me, they are not at all pretty to look at but I've been told that cleaning your coins will reduce their value. How can that be? Why does it hurt the coins value to make it clean and shiney? It's still the same coin---with the same amount of silver (and whatnot). I also collect 99.99% pure gold and silver bullions and coins so I tend to look at this coin collection's value in terms more of the silver content than the numismatic value. I use a cream silver cleaner and soft cotton rag. I take my time and dont rub too hard. Am I putting tiny little abrasive scratches on the coins? If so, they are pretty latent because I cant see them! I would really love to clean up his entire collection, but first want to hear from other coin collectors with an opinion.
Why is it, Mr. Curious, that some people feel like they have to insult and offend the person who is asking an honest question? I'm not a "clean freak" that should give up my collection because I cant take care of it. It isnt a puppy, ya know. I couldnt care less if someone famous touched my money....you think they give a damn about whether or not I've touched THEIR money? Just by process of statistics, it's pretty much a certainty that many famous people have touched my coins. Their grease is no better than anyone else's. You must be one of those people who wouldnt wash your hand ever again if the President shook it. I asked a question so I can learn---not so I could be belittled by someone who is giddy about knowing something that someone else doesnt. I personally dont see any beauty in coins that are covered in dirt and finger grease, but I will resist the urge to clean them. I'll never understand how dirt makes something more valuable but if that's the way it is, so be it.
Pytanie #16:
I understand that after the south lost the Civil War, Charlotte never regained its designation as a mint. So, were any gold coins minted there, bearing the "C" mark, immediately of greater value or did that take some time? Would they have been very hard to collect in the 1930's or would the price have been relatively low? I know the prices now can be anywhere from $5,000 to $100,000, but I am only interested in knowing how much the value would have been in the 1920's or 1930's if anyone can help me with that.
Pytanie #17:
I bought a few supposedly old/ancient and 19th century coins from couple of collectors around LA.
They all had the signs of age and came with certificate of authenticity.
One of the sellers also claimed himself to be part of ANA ( American Numismatic Association) . But strangely enough ALL these coins are DIME sized. I wondered , in ancient times and 200+ years ago , did they NEVER make large sized coins. That makes me think ..COULD THERE BE A RACKET amongst these sellers going up all the way to ANA members , in getting some fakes certified.
I'd like to know HOW can I abosultely determine the true value of a coin ? is there a way out ...? I heard radio isotope C dating ...where is this done ..? how do I get AT LEAST 1 SUCH VERIFIED FOR ITS TRUE AGE ..ALSO are there caveats with this method. Can fakers put such substances in coins to make them tell a lot older age then is really ?
PLEASE HELP

I am pretty sure there is no numismatic value and their value is in the silver content. I am guessing they are in pretty average condition from 1880's to 1900. No Carson City mint coins. I'd like to know what the spread is between buying and selling in this market.
I would like to find a reputable dealer within driving distance of the east bay but, may do a couple hundred miles for a good price.

Is it really legal to counterfeit nickels and pennies?
I wouldn't do it because of the cost of metal :)
Click Here
"Anyone who manufactures a counterfeit U.S. coin in any denomination above five cents is subject to the same penalties as all other counterfeiters. Anyone who alters a genuine coin to increase its numismatic value is in violation of Title 18, Section 331 of the United States Code, which is punishable by a fine or imprisonment for up to five years, or both. "

If It is illegal show me where in the united states code that it would fall under.
yeah it is illegal to counterfeit pennies and nickels :(

Pytanie #27:
I have an uncirculated 1915 Austrian 4 ducat coin. It is in excellent condition, I haven't had it graded but I would assume it to be MS65+ at least. I've taken it to a couple coin stores but they all tried to rip me off, one told me the coin was worth less than it's weight in scrap gold and the other told me the value of the weight of the scrap gold...which is worthless information to me as i was seeking to learn the numismatic value of the coin (which I'm assuming is more than the weight of the gold it's made out of.) If you could help me out with this at all you'd be doing me a huge favor. Thanks in advance!
I know it's uncirculated because most of these coins are. Also, there are no blemishes and there is no wear at all on the coin, even on the raised parts of the coin.

Pytanie #30:
I am learning that bullion gold coins are simply the price of gold, at the moment, and that can change daily. I'm also learning that investment-grade gold and silver coins have a numismatic or rarity value.
Where is the very best place to buy the best investment gold coins at the very best prices? I have spoken with so many dealerships online that charge 28% markup on their investment spreads all the way up to 45% markup from the original cost of the coins.
Is there a place where I can save money thereby creating a faster return on my investment?
Which is the better investment, everyone looks at bullion when they think of gold, but I am learning more promising returns on the investment-grade gold and silver coins. Which is better, and why? This seems to be a huge discussion and I haven't agreed with any of the answers posted on this site as of yet.

Looking for a community-generated website (for example a wiki) dedicated to world coin and banknote collecting that has thorough info on coins and notes.
For example one issue I have with banknoteworld.com is that while they have a good set of scanned bills, they don't include a lot of detailed info -- like watermark, ultraviolet, other security features, description of bill. Meanwhile banknotes.com has some of this info but is not nearly exhaustive. Any site -- say a numismatic or notaphilic wiki -- that does better than these?

Can I deduct the cost of shipping and insurance on the purchase of bullion?
I'm a small buyer of gold and silver bullion and coins. Of course the trick is to purchase at or below market spot (no interest in the numismatic value) however by the time shipping and insurance are added to the bullion it is sometimes well above spot. Can this be deducted as an "investment" expense?
