A quick search on ACSEARCH turns up 325 hits, so it's not a rare coin. Values are all over the range, from $33 to over $33,000. I have one of...
If many or most of the bidders are outside the UK, it's not surprising that the prices were strong. The logic would be "My (dollar, Euro, Swiss...
This issue may not be as black-and-white as it initially seems. After all, you don't divorce your spouse just because he/she forgets an...
It seems to me that, if the original payment terms (in British pounds) are still posted on the Internet, you can simply calculate the buyer's fee,...
This is the most compelling logic describing the assumptions likely to be made by novice collectors of ancients who buy slabbed ancient coins....
When I started out in ancients, one of the activities that I always found helpful and broadening was to to thoroughly peruse all the auctions that...
I, too, am happy to contribute photos of any of my coins that you might wish to include on any prêt à porter coin clothes. Although I don't have...

Not sure what you mean by this. Are you saying that the number of US coin counterfeits is as high as the number of ancient coin counterfeits?...
Wow. I'm stunned. They must have a high level of confidence in their ability to spot counterfeit US coins. Or maybe there are just a lot fewer...
Really? I didn't know NGC guarantees US coins. I'm curious how their guarantee works for these coins. Seems like a huge risk, to me.
4to2centBC, let me start by admitting that I'm confused and puzzled by most of the statements in your latest post in this thread, but there are a...
I'll leave it to the lawyers to argue whether an NGC slab is an implied guarantee of authenticity (I highly doubt it, though), but having written...
