Very nice David. Great portraits with excellent centering, hard to beat. Easy to get hooked on these big chunks of silver! [ATTACH]
Ken, that is a beautiful coin. You have far more experience but that doesn't look at all like bronze disease to me. I too have the silver...
I won one lot today, a coin I've wanted for a long time. I'll wait to get it and photograph it before I post it.
I missed this one too and would have been a strong bidder for it as well. This is a really outstanding piece! I'm glad I didn't bid you up!
I really appreciate all the input, it's a huge help. I'll decide exactly what to do tomorrow.
I was the high bidder on a lot from the JEAN VINCHON NUMISMATIQUE auction. The auction terms say 18% commission, no VAT with written proof of...

Remind me not to shake your hand!! Unless you are some kind of nuclear powered superhero, there is no way oils in your skin can damage gold in...
That is a great OP coin, a type I hope to add to my collection as well. One of my favorite coins features Mount Argaeus under Tiberius. [ATTACH]...
I'm not actively looking for them either but this one is definitely in my wheelhouse.
I don't think it's overstruck. I would say it looks more like poor workmanship and worn dies. I wonder how many of these were struck? Thanks...
Although I was hoping for a unique authentic denarius, I'm still happy to add this unusual eastern forgery. Thanks to Mr. Atherton for...
Great pickup David, glad your patience paid off!
Great catch Mikey Zee. As you mentioned, definitely nice fresh dies. Here's mine. [ATTACH] The symbols of an eagle, wheat stalk, grapes, and a...
I don't know this type well at all except for Doug's and Martin's very enjoyable posts. But here a couple that aren't often seen, and NOT (yet?)...
