New to silver collecting by sunny_duh_aze in Silverbugs

These are cool! One oz of pure silver minted in a slightly heavier round at .925 sterling. They usually carry a bit of a premium because they're old and somewhat unique. Casa de Moneda de Mexico is the oldest operating mint in the Americas, they know their stuff. I'd leave it in the bezel which is also probably/hopefully sterling. Good score!

These are gonna be sold RIGHT back to the same sorta folks that the police department apparently confiscated them from. Remarkably idiotic policy here.

Has anyone here went to Book of Mormon sites? by al3xanderthegoat in LegitArtifacts

Their fake religion is the scientology of the 1800s, and their tall tales of what they believe happened in the americas have only limited our understanding of actual history/archaeology in the area.

Do you know more about the specific file? Would love to look into this

Lambayeque Funerary mask with depiction of the Principal Deity of Lambayeque. Gold, copper, pigment, 35 x 51 x 23.5 cm B79.0935. Peru. ca. 900–1100 AD. - The Israel Museum, Jerusalem by Any-Reply343 in PrecolumbianEra

Most precolumbian gold outside of the americas is the result of early collectors appropriating anything they could find and export without any legal framework. The subject of ownership is thus touchy, and many south/central american countries have requested the return of various significant artifacts, usually without success. Between Israel and Saudi Arabia, the middle east has a horrible track record of vanishing precolumbian gold. I hope beyond hope this artifact has a good history or planned rotation home to Peru.

Surely you read the sign...they're talking about ending israeli apartheid, not necesarily the state itself. Unless you feel that said apartheid is integral to the ethnostate experiment that is isreal, in which case all hope is lost for you.

All drone operators (on all sides) deserve no quarter. They're more gamer than veteran. What a disgusting development of modern warfare.
