My special coin that I am LOOKING for right now is an Alexandrian Billon 
Tetradrachm of Hadrian, with Obv Harian r, standard legand, Rev Phoenix
in it's glory, AIWN, year 6.    I have a year 2, and I desperately want
the year 6.

The AIWN (eon) refers to the Pharonic Eon of 1470 (I forget exactly) years.
The beginning of the eon was in the 13'th Dynasty of Egypt (or some such).
What is fascinating is the fact that this eon coin was issued twice in 4
years.  I thnk somebody made a mistake and had to go back to Hadrian and say
"Uh, your majesty, we made a little mistake 4 years ago, and it turns out
that this here is the eon year... can we do it again?".


The most recenly acquired favorite is a tetradrachm that shows the Winged
Victory of Samothrace as she stood in 200 BCE, before she had her arms,
wings, and head knocked off, and got transported to the Louvre.  It's not
often I have a less abused version than the Louvre (course, theirs is in
stone and weighs a few tons, and was a one-off).

 According to Decembers Tuff Stuff (p5) there is an add for signed Brett Hull
 cards for $379.00.  As to the low numbers making them more valuable I think
 that it depends on who you sell it to. Low numbers (1-100) and high numbers
 (2490-2500) I would think would definitely bring a premium. How much of a 
 premium...I don't know.

In a previous article, RH.RST@forsythe.stanford.edu (Bob Topor) says:
>With the apparent demise of Superman (maybe!) does this affect the
>price of Superman comic books? Just wondering...

This relates to the earlier "what to collect" thread. With the publicity
surrounding the "death of Superman" comic, I saw a TV news interview
with a lady who was buying several copies of this issue when it was put
on sale. She said (a fairly accourate paraphrase I believe), "I'm buying
this copy to put my baby through college, and this copy to put her through
medical school" -- obviously she was buying these with the expectation that
they'd be valuable collectors' items someday.

Of course, we all know that isn't the case. These comics will be worth
a bit over cover price, but there are so many of them printed, and so
many people and dealers are saving them for investment purposes, that
they will forever be a glut on the market. The only reason that
certain old comics are selling for large sums is because so few people saved
them that they are quite rare (and also that people are well-off enough that
they feel they can put investments into these items).

This last point also affects what to collect if you are thinking of hard
assets to rely upon in severe economic depressions or other such lean times.
In that situation, frivolous rarities will lose their value. It doesn't
matter how rare a comic book, or a mint-state-70 gold coin, or an oil
painting is when people are starving and cold. The comic book will be worth
its value as firestarter, the coin as bullion, and the oil painting as
a sheet of material to cover a hole in the wall... In those cases,
the best assets to have will be pre-'65 silver US coins for their silver 
bullion value, and small tradable items that can't be home-produced. (My
favorite is .22 rimfire ammunition.) Think of what you'd be willing to take
in trade for foodstuffs if you are a farmer in this situation and some
ragged family comes to your door to try to buy grain or vegetables.

   Not quite true... off-center coins increase in value with the % off 
strike the coin is until a certain point.  Once it reaches that point
(50-60% I believe, I don't have a price guide in my hands), the value
begins to decrease once again.

If the cards were insured, then follow-thru with an insurance claim.  If not,
best you can do is send a postal customer service card to the postmaster at
the sending and receiving post offices and see what they can do.  That's a 
long shot, but you might get lucky...

I've recently gotten interested in First Day Covers.  I've been somewhat
influenced by discussions in this newsgroup.  First, it appears that this area
of collecting has lost popularity in the last 15 years and hence prices are
depressed.  Second, some of the cachets are beautiful and they provide an
excellent means of displaying the stamps.  Third, the FDCs add a context and a
point in time and place to the stamp.

I have been researching prices and sources....Beginning with the FDCs from 1940
to the present one can find many cachets with a single stamps for $1.00 or less
each...Some cachet makers command a large premium but....some of the
inexpensive cachets are beautiful and the more expensive ones are ....

so I'm trying to buy some I like mainly Artcraft in the early 50s....

For those who missed the posting on the STAMPSLIST net, the John Hotchner's
article in Linn's Stamp News concerning the Washington-Franklin reprint
can be ordered from the BIA at the above address for $2.00 postpaid.
This reprint by Larry Weiss is an excellent article for anyone who wants
to understand and identify the Washington-Franklin Heads issue.. It is
written for the beginner and easily is one of the best ones around for
identifying this issue of stamps..
