  13. Just posting. http://hken.ibtimes.com/articles/123098/20110316/utah-governor-to-decide-whether-gold-silver-coins-are-legal-currency.htm There are many write up in the web about returning to silver and gold coin currency. Other mention that in the past that the ratio of gold and silver is1:15 to 1:73 now in the past silver is correlated to the value of gold,gold and silver currency and both are correlated to product in the past. Silver coin can have a value above its intrinsic value 10%?? or *10 in coin or 14percent or 14 times its value during roman times,dont know what is the value in sceatta and thrymsa on post roman. That the past silver coin to be used,in case other will follow,it meant that silver troy ounce,value in dollar or other currencies should be multiplied by 73 if coined as a currency not as a bullion or bar stamp by its purity by die stamp by previous government,they have entirely different marking or stamp the other is by its purity,others by design like jewelries and coin die stamp by the government in the past to be use as a legal tender in payment for debt,if they will allow to that ratio of 73 if not it meant that even die stamp by government it is only value as a bullion bar or notch higher than a raw purified silver come out from the mine,just a comment.

  24. On Freeman technical summary data on page 11 last sentence in the page,that the diameter of 1860 onwards in 10 pennies,12 halfpennies,15 farthings is one foot. Ive seen some entries in the web that a cartwheel penny or twopence is 8 pieces to one foot. Just curious on the size of coin decrease in time that it is still base in linear measure or some sort. Any Info,comment,idea suggestion is welcome.

    The 1926 ME penny

    For me, that's the big one. Neither did we have internet forums where we could instantly post pictures to ask for peers opinions. Neither did we have forgers stalking us. The US gov. is investigating the forgery on rare coins. Expert post or reply on other subject regarding extremely rare of expensive coin should be limeted,depending on thier info. on whatever it is that the most post they will have is upto second identifier or reserve other authentiction and attribution info on the coin or have another secure section for expert it all up to the agreement of memvers or expert member if they like. That other normal querries will be post fo general viewers.just a comment. Pre and post internet coin collecting, IMO, are two different sports.
