Dear John, most of the counterfeits in this sale can be found among the aurei whereas the percentage of fakes among the bronzes is admittedly...
When looking at the images of this sale, one might be tempted to start a new thread but this might be unfair to both the auction house and the...
Dear Joe, Gorny, where I purchased the coin in 2011, described the patina as "Schwarzgrüne Patina", which means black-green patina. The coin...
I agree, thank you very much, this was a good discussion. I learned a lot - good coins need good promotion to cause their price to skyrocket.
Since Joe showed his Ostia sestertius from the former NAC sale in a parallel thread, I decided to upload pictures of mine. The coin is from the...
I 100% agree with you. The difficulty or challenge is to get a feeling of what the coin's quality and reasonable price is. When I read about...

Dear Joe, fantastic aureus, congratulations. :wideyed: I also like very much the way you are illustrating the coin. Unfortunately, I am lacking...
Another nice Pius - again common type but particular nice style. One can even see the eyebrows and clear hints of berries in the laurel wreath....
Dear Joe, you are the lucky one. These precious items depict that there are some ancient coins out there with documented pedigrees or even...
I like this owl set very much. :wideyed: Although I am just a Roman coin collector, I am curious about whether or not those very small coins are...
pretty rare type, I guess.
Here is the gem of my collection with a genuine provenance. The coin is a unique silver coin of Fausta. It was most probably issued as marriage...
