I'm not an expert on LRB's, but yes, based on the style and fabric. That looks very much like a c. 400 coin. The later ones become really tiny...
There's also other factors besides stated grade, patina/toning, provenance, centering, artistic value, environmental damage, etc. Aside from some...
It's impressive to have so many of the neater types of Maximianus. I have only an inexpensive example, one of the probably less than 25 AE Ant's...
Very neat! I especially like the Magnentius. Only one coin of mine comes to mind with a tag - I have an attractive Antiochus III tet I have was...
Pictures of teh box? Where to get one, etc.? I've been looking for a ready-made setup.
I think it's Heraclius, S 813.
What's the biggest winner? The 1798? I noticed some ancients in the distro. None were super-amazing. I would have been happy with any of...
The rampant introduction of fakes to the series, along with fairly high prices, has pretty much scared me off the series. I have an...
The original remix might have been fun, and I was willing to try the funbox, but no, I'm not trying a $4,000 vault box. Most people are going to...
I didn't get to report on account of the outage but when it was taken out and put in a flip, it looked a lot better. The thin film of the staple...
The photographed toned Morgan is nice, similar to the kind of coin which I'm looking for. That was an enjoyable report. What was the situation...
It's a bit overworked but it's better than a clownshow of a Domitian that I purchased, purposefully. I wanted a cheap order topper, I really like...
The topic seems to have disappeared from NF but congrats on reaching 5 years. You've done a lot in that short time. I've been collecting...
I suppose 'lost' in the mail SEGS Morgan would have qualified. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I just now freed the coin and with gloves transferred it to a standard flip. It looks less bad out of the staple flip and the 'raised'...
Not so. I prefer toning and am rather irked when ancients are cleaned to bright white. I wouldn't mind if the coin started to naturally tone....
Yes, I concur. Using a product which I don't know how to use and don't really want to use doesn't make much sense, especially since the dip...
Sheesh, both PCGS and NGC require that one become a member. NGC is cheaper, at $25. So if I'm adding up correctly, 25 + 25 (conservation) + 40...
I watched various videos about how to dip: [MEDIA] So, is it being dried with a tissue? How long should it be air-dried before being flipped?...
Don't forget the raised stuff on the rim, like tar or something had been spilled. It's raised, like a buildup. I just looked at the coin under...
