What are you collecting these days?

Although of course I will most likely have to spread out buying the most expensive ones over several years...

Er.....Julian II Solidus? Carthage AV Stater? Alexander III AV Stater? Marcus Aurelius AV Aureus?

 

Even though the Carthaginian one is on my wish list, it isn't in the category of the gold coins I would be disappointed if I never managed to buy one, it is in the same category as the Duchy of Milan Ducat, if I find one in good condition for a reasonable price and buy it, nice, if I don't, I won't lose any sleep over it.

As for the three other ones, I expect them to sooner or later appear in good enough condition for less than my 7000 EUR maximum.

Thanks, but I already discovered that website when I was searching for gold dinars from the Emirate of Sicily: https://www.thetyrantcollection.com/sicily-2/

 

That man has an awesome collection.

 

This is an interesting article: https://coinweek.com/coinweek-ancient-coin-series-coinage-of-the-guptas/

 

I have the book on Gupta coinage/ many diverse themes.

 

Yes, I like this coin the most so far:

 

That one is mucho dinaros!

I bid on one from Goldberg auction about 2017. It was a MS "Tiger Slayer" type from Kumaragupta. I doubt if he ever went after "tigers" in real life!

 

How "mucho"? 5000 EUR? 8000 EUR? 10000 EUR? More?

 

30K+
cheapest Gupta coin in MS (Archer type) 3-5K remember I said it nice to be rich? In ten years coin prices will double again Coins are way too popular a hobby/ or too many $$$$ people.

 

Probably the bolded.

 

Something strange happened just now, I wanted to buy another Empire of the Romans Gold Solidus from a German numismatics company, and when I went to the checkout, Croatia wasn't selectable under "country"! I have e-mailed them about this, Croatia is the only EU country which isn't selectable.

 

That is utterly amazing! Esp. since Germans like Croatians
Not the same how we feel about Russians.

 

This isn't the coin I want to buy, but they have one I think you might be interested in (if you don't already have it of course): https://www.emporium-numismatics.co...B/?ObjectPath=/Shops/78050326/Products/222534

 

Thanks for that. However/ I have that one in MS. Got it from NFA in 1991. Numismatic Fine Arts was a really great auction house in Beverly Hills. They only dealt in highest quality rare ancient coinage. They later ended up in trouble when a few of their coins were deemed fake. All were in 400-600K range back then. I still need the Isaac II histamenon nomisma! I have 60 Byzantine AV coins!

 

This is the coin I was thinking about buying from them: https://www.emporium-numismatics.co...b/?ObjectPath=/Shops/78050326/Products/403369

 

Thats a good price! Leo I AV Solidi are common/ I bought one in NGC CH-MS 5/5 5/5 for 1600US in 2021 from Hard Assets. Turned out that same coin went for 3500 UK Pounds/ Roma auction year before. I think they made a mistake in selling it so cheap.

 

So, like me, you don't consider the "flan flaw" to be an issue?
