I used to buy on Ebay but I am just tired. Too many massively overpriced coins, too many blatant fakes, too much shenanigans. I have a few old...
I would disagree in that generalizations are always subject to exceptions, but for the vast majority of cases it is true. I would argue 99% of...
Please be aware NGC does not guarantee authenticity of ancients. They are good experts there, but not better than a number of auction firms I...
Yeah, been horribly busy the last 8 months. Too much stuff at work man, and with 3 kids at home driving 30+ minutes at night each way is a chore...
Oh, ok, makes more sense if read in a different context. I was worried someone was massively overpaying for G3! G3, due to great numbers of coins...
Yeah, I see similar prices generally. I think the BU and SP versions confused a lot of people and you lost some collectors by getting burned...
What Gordian III short of a gold piece is a $300-400 coin? Dude, I have never paid more than $30 for silver or copper Gordian III and most of mine...
I have never heard that about Spain, but some other countries. I cannot say though since I do not remember buying from Spanish auctions. I do have...
Of course I agree it's a good place, but also agree lots of competition. I believe it's the largest ancient coin auctioneer in the world....
Thank you, I was unsure. I simply have seen many, many issues from Antioch listed under imperial, while many more listed under provincial, and...
I can, if not understand, explain once you said the word "pedigree". Many moneyed investors have gone gaga over pedigree, believing that at some...
Honestly asking, is any coinage of Antioch in RPC? I thought Antioch was, (at least at times), a weird animal, with many considering it just as...
Lol, that is the thing with us old bastards, right? I bought mine back when, and I don't "need" it at these prices. I might if I don't own 50+...
Not buying anything at these prices unless price is unaffected by PM prices, (collectible). Pt and Pd are weird ducks. I like Pt, have many Pt...
That is what is weird to me. To me, and I know everyone is definitely different, I would prefer the coin I got over this one. That is why I...
I looked for years at Biddr and just typed in "Julius". Got some other hits but would let me know which JC were up for auction at those firms. I...
I was actually wondering if the ancient market had weakened since the piece I got seems vastly underpriced. I like the other two lots as well. A 5...
I know the coin market can be confusing but I am still scratching my head about the NN auction yesterday. I won this QUITE a bit over what I...
Yeah, anything that the general public knows about is generally overpriced compared to other ancients. 12 Caesars, Biblically related, JC, Cleo...
Yeah, I saw the listing as well. I call it the toupee portrait. It looks like Otho and his fake wigs.
