I did a recalculation of the weight, and it comes out to 8.6 taels, based on a tael weight of 37.46737 grams for a tael. I need to decipher the...
Thanks. Sorry for the misspelling of taels in the thread's header. I guess I had Dickens on the mind when creating it.
Thank you. We live in a time where there are plenty of certificates certifying just about anything, but unfortunately not for this medal. There...
I won this 10 taels sycee salt tax ingot in 2005, during the New York International Coin Fair auction conducted by Ponterio and Associates, Sale...
And that's the challenge. I would need to find a contact with the estate, and that's no easy task.
Thanks! I hope to have more Roman coins to share with CT members next year.
A nice stater and denarius. I sold my Boeotia stater many years ago and never replaced it.
I agree. Unless you're a high roller, willing to pay the price for a high end coin that you're not familiar with, out of sheer impulse, comfort...
I normally post threads on the ancients, and, to a lesser degree, world forum sites. However, I decided to post on this forum a silver medal that...
I really don't think of coins being out of my comfort zone, unless we're talking about a coin whose high valuation, and known record of fakes, as...
And I think that is why the tetradrachms of the Ptolematic kings are very similar. They stuck with a design familiar to merchants and the general...
Cool Hadrian tetradrachms, Donna. I wasn't aware that there was one with a mummy on the reverse, but I guess I was just too wrapped up in things...
Like your coin, this coin that I purchased, and awaiting delivery (a long-term prospect currently), also came from Sardes, a bit later than your...
Cool! Here's a trilobite from Morocco, that I think is a Cheirurus Gibbus, Devonian. [ATTACH]
Nice tetradrachm! It's well centered, generally and with nice die work on the reverse. I would grade it a good VF.
Wonderful coins!. The denarii are particularly nice, and the patina on the Marc Anthony AE 24 is beautiful.
I did purchase some large lots of Byzantine folles and other denominations, which average around $12.00 per coin or less, in terms of a single...
Thanks again.
No, this coin was slabbed without weight noted. I think NGC offers a lower cost slab without this information and their surface/strike grading,...
Regarding the second inquiry posted today, yes, please start a new thread. Tacking it onto this old one won't be very effective.
