Regular no-reserve auctions stimulate activity but can easily be ruined by a non-serious bidder at the last minute or even earlier. They don't...
Interesting. It would be even more interesting if the ad, photos, and seller exhibited a bit more legitimacy.
On the plus side, no one will ever steal them from you. Too much like work.
Would also appreciate hearing the details. It's positively horrifying how many Chinese (and other) fakes now crowd the marketplace for nearly...
Awesome shot and thanks for educating me wrt the 'accented hair' variety. Lately I'm fascinated with the (minor) varieties in this type. The...
Stunning photography in this thread. I'm going to ramp up my own game at some point thanks to the inspiration here! The Kennedy is imho the most...
Thank you for your expert knowledge on this! I could see that the relief levels had been 'recontoured' a bit and that they would weigh...

Never, unless they were divested of their gold by someone with a gun. And then they would no longer be people with gold [IMG] You guys are...
Wow. That is one of the more spectacular coins I've ever seen :)
LOL, I like your humor, however unintentional [IMG]
Soon you are going to have a post whose sole subject is the post itself, and the resulting do-loop will bring down the entire internet [IMG]
Your points are good, and I guess I was thinking of Rome the city while you mean the entire Roman Empire, which is doubtless appropriate since I'm...
Jesus, that's harsh :( I think the coin is beautiful and likely AU, and it would bring me pleasure to own it. But then I guess I'm just a coin...
