Great post! You got a really good deal on your Claudius, and your Caligula is quite nice, as well. I’m a little surprised Titus and Vitellius were...
Well, aren't we starting off the year with a bang? I have to say, if I had seen that coin for sale at the price you paid, I'd have seriously...
Damage, probable vice job.
I must say, @zumbly, your coin really shows up the family resemblance!
I've seen Liberty nickels where even the rims don't help. The unfortunate thing there is that the MS coins are frequently worth more than the...
Never say never. This is not strictly true anymore, only mostly true: See...
This is mildly amusing, since I remember my first purchase from Mike was via MO (PCGS MS65 Lexington half dollar). Of course, mine was real, and...

I'm mightily impressed by that PL US type set, Jason. Of the coins you don't have, how many do you think actually exist in PL, regardless if...
It’s an interesting collection, but I agree it seems pretty steep at all $5520 ($153 per coin). I do think this is one case where there’s a bit of...
My thoughts exactly. Not only did I not see any of the Henning diagnostics I’m familiar with, the coin simply does not look fake enough. Sorry,...
Funny, I’ve had more buyer’s remorse recently over stuff I didn’t buy, even though I made a few great purchases recently and my budget wouldn’t...
Yeah, it looks like it. I'm away from my books and I don't know enough from memory to identify the emperor, but I'm sure someone here could!...
Technically, it has a mass of 3.11g, and weighs 0.0305 newtons (on earth).
Neat! I like it.
How is any of this different from the old Greysheet that you seem to like so much? Bid $100 Ask $200 doesn't tell me anything at all about who's...
