Mediators move closer to extending US-Iran ceasefire

Mediators are moving closer to extending the ceasefire between the United States and Iran and restarting negotiations to salvage the fragile truce before it expires next week. The U.S. blockade on Iranian ports and renewed Iranian threats have imperiled the week-old agreement but regional officials said Wednesday they are making progress. They told The Associated Press that the United States and Iran had given an “in principle agreement” to extend it to allow for more diplomacy. Whether the ceasefire would hold is unclear as U.S. pressed ahead with its blockade, which threatens to sever Iran from economic lifelines it has relied on since the war began.

Scam warning! Nothing new, but since a friend of mine nearly got scammed last night, I figured it was worth a periodic reminder: If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

They were looking for a particular coin - and found it - from a seemingly well known dealer, at a crazy low price. It was a time limited sale & they only had a few minutes to secure the deal. Feeling the pressure, they went for it. They paid & it showed as pending in the bank... but then the transaction disappeared & the money was still there. By this time, they started to realise it was a scam. Extremely luckily, the bank must have been aware of the site & blocked the transaction. Usually a savvy shopper, it shows how easily it can happen to anyone.

Meanwhile, here is my favourite, not-as-it-seems coin: A "Fouree" denarius from ancient #Rome: https://coinofnote.com/19-b-c-rome-augustus-denarius-fouree/
