Or the 1825 in g4 that just sold at Goldberg for 11,000....
Except the 48 in f12 I just sold for $340... Suit yourself, but it's knowledge more than blanket assumptions that have value. Oh, and I paid $20...
Interesting coin. Would want to see it in hand, but looks like an n27 to me, an r4 variety. Date position looks right, lines up slight to left...
I'll add 21 is not unreasonable for this. There is really no guide for coins like these, they are worth what you think is fair. Just because I...

That's in part why I don't mind buying them, I have found most of the books I buy maintain their value, above and beyond the value I get from the...
Thanks for the link, I will check them out.
Thanks, I would love a more complete list. These two series of books are coming up in an auction and I wanted opinions on them specifically, but...
I am thinking about getting into ancients and am looking for some advice on books to buy. Are the Seaby 'Roman Silver Coins' volumes I-V any...
