The World's Deadliest Coin?
Переглядів 1,3 тис.9 місяців тому
This Cold War coin was minted out of metal from a Soviet nuclear missile. Issued as a 'Token of Friendship', the Disarmament Dollar / Rouble was struck in the wake of the 1987 INF treaty, which saw certain nuclear weapons scrapped. Since it's made from part of a weapon of mass destruction, is this the world's most dangerous coin?

    Not wearing gloves seems so unprofessional... You leave your fingerprints on each edge and rim of your coins. I prefer latex gloves. If you have correct size (very-very tight gloves, maybe 1 size smaller than your hand is), a coin will never fall out of your hand.

    Through human history there are certain peoples identified as warlike. The Ukrainian's (I could say Cossack's) are one such culture that in my opinion is both cultural and genetic. Present Ukraine occupies what has been called The Russian Steps in recent history, an area as wide N/S as Ukraine from Poland to the Caucasus Mt's and actually extends through China to the Pacific except for the break called the Mohave Desert. The Steps are perfect pastoral lands much desired by invaders and impossible to defend. This was not the birth place of Horses, Cattle, Sheep, Goats, etc but it was a major center of the development of parochialism and horse culture. In recorded history The Rus (people who row not to be confused with Russians) from Scandinavia dominated the Dnieper River. Then The Swedish Empire, Lithuanian Empire, Polish Empire dominated but never really controlled a people who called themselves Cossack's. Next came The Huns and when they imploded the Hungry Empire tried to move in but never got further than Crimea and The Black Sea coast. This was the high point of the Cossack's, The Kievian Rus Empire (everyone wanted to declare themselves Empire back in the day) roughly Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia to Moscow but that came to an end when The Cossack's decided tax collection did not suit them and became mercenaries for the Poles, Lithuanians and Russians. This did not end well. About 1850 dominated Ukraine and progressively treated them as slave labor for grain production...ref 5Mil starved to death by Stalin. This is the period of time Putin points to for Ukraine being traditionally Russian and Ukraine says never again.

    It's mind boggling that in such a big and history rich country numismatics is a niche hobby. Ive been living here for over 12 years now, but im still active on a polish numismatic market and it's booming out there. Every Facebook group with tens of thousands of people and over here people collect 50p... does anyone know if there's any numismatic societies in North west? Would love to join, but can seem to find any online. I'd like to start collecting greek coins, but at the moment I'm going through literature.

    Not acording to lockdales they said they didnt want early milled coins that were graded some ms and otherd au with 3 in census . They said they wont sell as good as rawr coins they had crude low grade examples with deceiving descriptions 😂. I'll take my business else were . Colectors or buyers want the best as you said and all top selling coins are slabbed true facts.

    • @samabrahams7687
      @samabrahams7687 5 місяців тому

      I agree but sometimes a uncirculated gem has history as someone has piked it out of circulation and it's been pride of a collection passed down for many generations. I've got some 1600s coins just been slabbed ms absolutely cracking stuff I love preserving them for future generations

    ANOTHER COMPLAINT. I call BS. B F’ing S! Nothing worse than removing human sweat and oils from a pristine precious metal. Especially with fluted edges as many coins have, but also from all surfaces of the artifact. If we are lucky enough to come across an object or an artifact that has survived human indifference we should treat it as such. IMO these guy's, though in a position of great importance, are an f'ing joke. They are all about handling the objects and show no desire to preserve the precious objects! BUY or MAKE or USE good f'ing gloves. Try a good material. These jokes of coin handlers are all about handling the object rather than preserving it. I have never subjected any of my important coins that I value to my body oils or sweat. The edges are as important as the surface on all of my coins. I've also spent hours, days, weeks trying to remove the crap these kind of guys put on the coins that I want to add to my core collection. Use a freaking loop already! There are so many great no-fiber cloths available and these guy's don’t even mention them. These are amateurs in disguise. And they made it to where they are now? WTMFF! This video is so wrong. Use a freaking tool to pick-up a valuable artifact, especially a coin. I couldn't imagine them showing an Inverted Jenny. Use proper care. You are treating a valuable coin, artifact, as if it was an Indian head nickel returned in vendor’s candy or soda machine. You picked those up as an amateur would. Glove or not. I would never give one of my core collection coins to these jokers. Technically you don't even need to pick it up. Use a F'ing loop. Use a f'ing tool. If it's valuable gtfu and don't touch it. I am so mad watching these guys. Visit a good museum storeroom (My wife works in one and I revere her) and watch the scientists handle artifacts. GTFU! NOW! REALLY! Stop spreading your amateur BS. I AM SO F'ing MAD at this video. For me if an object is worth something, treat it as such. If it’s one of a kind treat it as such, not as another neat cool thing for you to glee over as having touched it. It's not a freaking 10 year old watch! I am out of words to tell you how bad these "trusted" ‘auctioneers’ are. GEESE! You want pictures? I have them. But these guy’s are wrong and have no want or need to preserve the objects, only to say they touched them at some time.

    My ancestor according to his medal card was awarded the 1915 star and Victory medal but not the British War Medal, he was also awarded a Silver War Badge. This seems a bit odd having read the requirements for the British War Medal, could it be he was wounded within 28 days of arriving in France? He was with 1/6 North Staffordshire Regiment in 1915.
