They're all wonderful, but the Caesar coin is tops for me. I also love the contrast between the coin of Caesar and the coin of Diocletian. Placing...
Awesome stag coin and fascinating provenance. Here's the only stag-themed coin I own: [ATTACH] Philip I (the Arab); 244–9 CE. AR antoninianus,...
Deslab. The slab offers no useful information, and there is no benefit to a plastic covering for a coin in F condition.
I agree with Ken. eBay sales follow an auction-bidding model, and in this sense they can be called auctions. But eBay sales are not regulated in...
Auctions are fundamentally different than retail, in that auction houses serve both client and customer. The client is the consigner, the customer...
