Sorry, calling this a 58/62 is just wrong. If you are not able to see that, then that’s not my problem. It’s pretty obvious: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
It is close to 67. I will say 66+ 5FS
I love reddish patina. Keep it as is. :) [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I got to hold this at the most recent show I went to. It was priced at a cool $80000. It was free to hold, and I had a nice little chat with the...
Search only for Trier-Mint LRBs. They were all of extremely high quality and fine style.
Shipping costs would be egregious. It would eventually get lost, or one of the 24000 people would keep it and fall off the radar/die, and things...
Owner’s bias is a very real thing. ;) This issue was very well struck. The fact that there are no breast feathers on the eagle means there is...

These look like they came off of a ca 1130 shipwreck off the coast of Indonesia.
At under 5g and 27mm, this was cast ca 180 BC. To be sure you have a Qin coin, I would look for specimens above 6-7g, preferably 8g, and over...
Nice givaway! Since I have over 30 examples of each type, I will defer to oher members here who want to explore ancient Chinese coinage. :)
With ancient Chinese coins, the rising prices keeps putting the coins I want increasingly out of reach, or I just get less coin for my dollar....
Good try. The evidence suggests otherwise
People like hearing that they are right. When they find an idiot spewing out nonsense that they agree with, that gives them vindication that their...
