But I'm a US collector thats not American, what does that make me?

 

*awkward*

 

??

 

Noooooo.

Does this mean I have to change my username now?

 

><

 

i've been to that site so much that i can't access it from my computer anymore.

 

All Caracalla

 

if NGC graded it AU, i would keep it.

 

my home boy Brad Pitt should have come to cointalk ancients for his role in 12 Monkeys

 

*edit*

 

First, don't get so hung up on the grades. It doesn't matter in ancients like it does with modern coins and it is not as easily determined because ancient coins are hand made and there are more variables that matter a lot more than the wear on a coin.

Second, XF doesn't exist in ancient coin terminology either. The main grades you will be concerned with are F- fine, VF - very fine, EF - extremely fine, Mint State or FDC (which is not really interchangeable). There are variations between them that you will see like add ons such as "nearly", "about", "good", "superb", etc, but you really don't need to get hung up on it. In all likelihood, you will be collecting coins that are VF or EF given your OP example.

Here's something to give you some reading tonight.

ahh the correct use of adverbs...

 

I have that problem from time to time. You can fix it by changing your DNS. At first I didn't want to do this (why should I have to change my DNS to fix a problem with one website?!) but Wildwinds is pretty useful so I caved.

I'm on a Mac so if you're on Windows there will be some procedural differences but the DNS numbers are the same:

Network > Advanced > DNS

Click "+" to add IPv4 or IPv6 addresses
Type 8.8.8.8
Click the "+" again
Type 8.8.4.4
Click apply or OK or whatever to make the changes stick

 

thanks TIF.. uh.. whats a DNS?

 

I didn't know (or care) either. "Domain Name Server"

You can read more about it here (although I read it, still don't understand, and still don't care )

 

O, ok..lol, i was able to get again when i cleared my cache a while back, but it dissappeared again. i thought of doing that, but dango, i forget all muh passwords..thanks. i'll try that.
