So, I received this coin in the mail earlier this week. It's a lovely coin, and the auction house picture is not misleading. What is a little...
You still haven't answered my question. If intent is irrelevant, what is manslaughter?
Probably my 'best' (or at the very least, most expensive) Medieval coin. [IMG][IMG] Hyperpyron Mint: Constantinople Year: 1325 - 1328 Obv:...
Wow! What a great lot of coins and artifacts!
I think you'll find that intent is absolutely relevant in law. The clearest example I can think of is manslaughter. If intent isn't relevant,...
It depends on the recklessness and probability. But I don't want to get into a debate about the law (as it was an analogy and is actually beside...
Thanks for the discussion thread @GDJMSP My unscientific view would be that the definition of Artificial Toning is defined by the intent, much...

Hello all I have a question regarding Greek style Illyrian coins (e.g. Staters, Tetradrachms Drachms, etc). I'm sure with some effort and...
Nice coin Valentinian! I've added this one to my want list as well. All "thanks" to CoinTalk.
Thanks for the likes and sharing your coins guys, great to see so many amazing Seleucid Tetradrachms. Thanks for the info Red. I'll have to...
Ah, a good question. One that requires a multifaceted answer. I'm into ancient coins primarily for the history. I love to hold history in my...
Nice Tet Mat! Alegandron, yea I've gotta start doing that. I calculate the exchange in my head, but I've yet to add the 30 to 35% for auctions....
Picked it up at an auction. Paid a little more than I had planned to (*shakes fist at taxes and fees*), but fairly happy overall. Seleucus I...

A good point. I feel though that the risk is significantly reduced for collectors who purchase these sorts of coins, because gold counterfeit...
