here's one that has a coin in my collection, but there are not the directories you specify. This means that it is rare? or unpublished before? http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=152150
It could be unpublished, yes, but attributions like that just mean that it isn't listed in the catalogs you would expect to find it in. That, or the dealer doesn't have access to a particular catalog, which in the case of Numismatik Lanz München is unlikely. It could be published elsewhere.
I think we have a miscommunication due to different languages. Lanz has the directories, by which I think you mean catalogs. The coin is not listed in those catalogs. It may be listed somewhere else.
John, no, this coin at auction "Lanz", and there he shall always be public directories, this coin was previously. For example the British Museum and others. and in this case the name of the directory is not specified. This means that the coin is rare or unpublished oozes Lantz found her catalog, but it's unlikely you've said is true!!!!!!
Ok. I'm still not sure I understand, but if you have an unpublished coin, then congratulations! Always nice to find a new type or variety.
Thanks John, but the coin in my collection which we are discussing here. No, John , I do not say 100% that it is not published. I was just in katrimkah in Google found these 6 pieces, but maybe I'm wrong, and that other coins. Therefore, I ask you and the Council.
Well, your coin isn't quite "unpublished" now anyway, since a listing could read something like "See Lanz 117, lot 201 for another example." Even if that's the only other example ever to appear anywhere, your coin will have very little commercial value.
Volodya, Naturally, if the coin 1 is referred to again in Lens, it has already been published. Just wondering rare it is. And on the commercial value, I do not think so. I take these coins for small change
Greek copper coins in that condition are not worth much and not worth a lot of time attributing. Auction search engines (acsearch) find valuable coins that were worth putting in serious catalogs. That coin does not qualify. The buyer can search for a published attribution. It is not worth the seller's time.
Valentinian, I'm fine collector and collect the coins that the values for large auction houses are not
By the way here I disagree with you, copper ancient rare coins prodayutsya on good auction for expensive, from 40-70 to 300 and more Euros. Eg auction Lanz to pass a lot of these sinks, and there are rare among 80% of copper.
paschka, I applaud your approach of buying coins that you value more than large auction houses do. There is a lot of attractive Greek copper that does not make it into major firm auctions because 50 or 100 euros is less than the values of coins they usually list. That makes frequency of Greek copper hard to determine from sites like acsearch which record high-value coins. Here is a site which lists catalogs with useful selections of Greek AE: http://esty.ancients.info/catalogs/Themes.html I recommend that anyone interested in Greek copper acquire those references for their library.
