If eBay's ok......
Not hardly :)
Neat. Did you use a microscope to take that pic?
Thanks Ben. Coming from you that's great. I looked quite a bit before I found one I liked the looks of. Other than some 2007 stuff to keep a...
I've decided to start a Type Set & just picked this up as the 'official' first coin for it, hope you like it. [IMG]
Nice 'Rand. I've only got a 1/10th oz. one, but would love a 1 ouncer in that kind of condition.
Plenty of folks use older 2 MP cameras & get excellent results so nothing overly fancy is needed. The biggest thing is using a tripod or copy...
Drusus said pretty much exactly what I would have, so I'll just quote him. :)
Nice, I've always like Britannia's. :thumb:

The coin is great! The pics are out of focus. Does your camera have a macro mode? Are you using a tripod?
They don't. As I said earlier I've seen 'Rands & Leafs graded by NGC before (pretty sure I've seen Lunars & Pandas done by them too, but can't...
The Numismatica Ars Classica auction in Zurich on March 21st (online proxy bidding through the 20th at sixbid.com) has a Romulus Augustus...
I've seen 'Rands & gold Maple Leaf's graded by NGC. I've also seen plenty of silver Panda's & Lunars done by them so I'm sure they do the gold...
There are coins of Julius Nepos out there. Nepos was Augustus 474-475, Romulus Augustus was Augustus 475-476, however the Eastern Empire...
There are certainly people out there who make a great living screwing collectors with fakes. That's why it's important to buy from reputable...
You probably won't find any graded by a TPG. AFAIK ICG (& maybe ANACS) would be the only of the 'top four' that would even slab an ancient coin....
