That's awful. Was it from Europe or somewhere else, or a purely domestic letter? I've had one coin mauled and lost due to a machine failure, but...
What happened with my Trajan Decius Double Sestertius? :(:yuck: Perhaps BD or encrustrations were scooped out of the eye, leaving the weird...
Considering how many slugs and slicks are in uncleaned lots of 370's AE3's, one wonders how long they circulated? It takes a while to reach that...
Yeah, I hate that. A vcoins dealer whom I've been frequenting does that. While it's not everyday, perhaps once or twice a week, it's still...
Congratulations on your pickup! Even the 'budget' issues of that issue are pricey. Here's my 'budget' portrait Antony. Even though the coin's...

I don't have anything which qualifies for the most recent challenge... Is there any way to jump to the last post when checking a thread? I keep...
Were I deep-pocketed, I'd heavily collect Sestertii of the earlier 12 Caesars (up to Galba), as those are generally huge. I remember looking at a...
Great acquisition and the coin has an interesting story! I remember reading somewhere (Forum?) that ancient gold coins in India were frequently...
Hmm, you're right, vcoins only has one example, in rather ugly condition. As someone who likes spooky shows and Poe, I really like the raven!
Cool pickups. You might also want to see if Allen Berman is still doing business (I heard he was still doing coin shows). Many of my favorite...
Someone at work said the Antioch one looked like an Oreo cookie. :wideyed::hilarious:
What I'd do to ship TrachyEnthusiast's broken coin: I'd put said coin in a small, fairly sturdy box, maybe a ring box or something like that,...
I go through streaks of ordering from certain dealers. London Ancient Coins have been getting a lot of my business lately, and I've been quite...
[ATTACH] Sear 805. I purchased it when trying to find the best 805 on vcoins. The plate coin has a better reverse, but look at the faces....
I wonder if my crummy example is from the same Balkan mint (Perinthus?) as the Britannicus Sestertii? [ATTACH] CLAUDIUS AE sestertius. Struck...
Thanks!
