Picked up this sharp (and very high-relief) aureus of Diocletian earlier this year. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I have noticed that eBay now defaults my search results to new listings, rather than Best Match (as they used to). Not sure if it's the same case...
I've noticed that NGC Photo Vision shots do a great job of showing a coin's color, but a pretty bad job of showing off luster. Any videos or...
Thanks! I ended up emailing them and they mailed me the original laminated certificate, though I'm still not sure why they didn't automatically...
Yeah, similar deal in my case - this was an aureus in perfectly good condition, no crystallization or cracks or anything. Maybe it's something the...
Yup, looks like a cast counterfeit.
Recent pickup - focused on getting the color in these photos, but the coin has some nice luster too. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

I just won a coin from a recent CNG auction that was NGC photo-certified - when receiving the shipment, I expected to receive the laminated photo...

Any private insurers that people recommend? I occasionally buy insurance via USPS for higher-value coins, but I've heard the claims process can be...
I've been selling coins online for a while now on eBay, my own website, and other platforms, but typically stay below the $1-2k range for...
I struggle with these recessed design coins...any thoughts as to whether this guy is undergraded at MS-61? It seems to have pretty clean surfaces...
Ah got it, thanks for the clarification all. My only other familiarity with varieties was with Morgan/Peace VAMs, so just assumed the same logic...
I'm not too familiar with Mercury varieties, and seem to have misplaced my copy of the cherrypicker's guide. But this die crack through Liberty's...
Yeah, I'm a little concerned about that. I know he could get probably double or more the value of the 89-CC if he gets it graded, even if it comes...
It recently got out through the grapevine of my family friends that I'm a coin collector, and I was asked to help appraise the inherited...
I was actually just going to post a similar thread asking about Kunker and other European auction houses :) It looks like their buyer's premium...
Curious what others think of these two toned Peace Dollars slabbed AT by NGC. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
