Good to hear. Thanks. I too might have been more hesitant on the purchase, but just after failing twice at auction to nab one, I made up my mind...
Ooh, I like Monitors.
I would've totally missed that.
@Mat here is referring to two unfortunate incidents I've had with bronze disease. In 48 years of collecting, I've only had two ancient coins of...
Otho is always a toughie. I made a point of getting him out of the way earlier in the game, this time around. The first time I completed a...
I was after Caligula for my Twelve Caesars collection. I did battle over some nice ones at auction, but lost badly (the ones I bid on went for...

It doesn’t have the snob appeal of PCGS or NGC (and therefore the resale perks), but if you just want competent...
This 1882 dime was hand engraved into a pictorial love token in the late 19th century. By chance, I recognized the ruins shown on it as The...
***SOLD*** This exact coin sold on Heritage on July 14, 2021, for $1,200 USD. I bought it for considerably less than that on 27 February 2023,...
Congrats! It’s a nice milestone. Seems a decent deal for £90. It was decades before I had an Athenian owl. This one sort of fell into my lap as...
