It would help if we knew what kind of coin it was. Some reference? Is that scrawled on the ID tag? Welcome to collecting ancient coins. Which...
My orders from Zurqieh have always been pretty quick. In fact, it's faster to order from them (via post) than the UK, or at least the dealer I was...
Thanks very much! Are said shipwreck half dollars also available from fixed price dealers? But to be honest, if it weren't from a shipwreck, I...
Yes, I like toned. If I were ever to get a Morgan dollar, I'd like a toned one. The slabbed ancients tend to be cleaned blast white (yuck)....
In comparison, how much does a regular, non-shipwreck version go for?
I'd like something along the lines of those 1850's half dollars, like the Vault Box 5's had. [MEDIA] This type at 2:34
What about the most abundant shipwrecks? I have no clue about fixed-price American dealers, so I don't know where to look.
While watching Vaultbox 5 unboxings, I found the SS Republic shipwreck 1850's half dollar ones to be neat. How much do 'budget' ones go for (I...
And, I guess it opens up the rabbit hole if control marks equal mint marks. Plenty of republican coins had those. Does the OP mean "R", like...

Yeah, I just remembered, Al Kowsky has posted some slabbed Byzantine coins. I think I only have one details slab, a silver Magna Graecia with...
I didn't know that Byzantines were ineligible for entombing. I like them even more now!
Yes! That's why I collect the 3rd century Balkan provincials; the nice patinas. I usually don't heavily collect as-sized coins. This one has a...
Most of the recent vcoins ones resemble the above coin. That type was the one which I was considering.
Quite a few of these seem to be turning up. I had a question about one, quite a while ago, and the answer was that these were issued over quite a...
Codera has a lovely example, worthy of any collection. Well-done! Here's my somewhat decrepit example, although it looks much less terrible in...
I've never sold a coin, but in the hypothetical situation, the bottom 8.
That's a great question...
[MEDIA] Lol! I wouldn't have been that unhappy with the coins themselves, but at that price, I wouldn't have been a happy camper. Rene,...
I guess I'd be excited if I received a JC Aureus or a Justinian II solidus, but as a collector with 30+ years of experience, I know better than to...
