Call CNG first thing in the morning and explain the situation - they might allow you to remove your bids.
The buyer would know because there's such a wide range in value. It would be like saying: "That costs 100." and someone handing over 100 cents,...
I've said this before but I'm glad Rick is a cheapskate who clearly didn't appreciate what he had on his table! The coin deserves a far better...
To clarify, this is what a silver octodrachm would buy. Gold was valued roughly 16:1 - the coin in the OP would have bought considerably more -...
I agree - beauty standards change decade over decade and have certainly moved over the last 2000+ years. It's also important to note that the...
Happy Romaversary! Here's my Domitian with Romulus and Remus, ex. Biaggi and ex. Boscoreale: [ATTACH]
Congratulations! Here's to many more decades!
Congratulations on a very attractive coin with the significant added benefit of a pre-1970 pedigree!
The coinage of Pantikapaion is indeed incredibly artistic regardless of the denomination. I tried and failed for years to acquire a stater of the...
And mine can barely deal with paperclips. CNG missed the mark not disclosing the make/model of the shredder!

That's just one gardening accident away from finishing your collection! ;)
This is good advice. There will always be coins to buy - it's best to ensure you enjoy life experiences and start to build a diversified asset...
I run a software startup and have been fortunate in prior companies that I've joined early and subsequently sold (I come from a lower-middle-class...
I don't believe there were many unsold lots in Kunker and, even so, it might not be the best idea to try to buy unsold lots. While there are...
Agreed on all points, especially #3. I lost interest in US coins largely for the "graded 63 but looks 64+" nonsense that every dealer says on top...
Most ancients do fit, even up to sestertii. However, my Athens owl and some other high-relief tetradrachms are a bit too tthick. I keep these...
This is a phenomenal example! Do you have a known pedigree for it? Here's my Skylla on a Greek tetradrachm signed by EUTH and Eumenes: [ATTACH]
Yes, it was a Syracuse (signed by Kimon) which opened at $130K but ultimately sold for $216K all-in. I didn't buy it but I think it was one of the...
I agree with this assessment. Additionally, the prices of some well-pedigreed examples are fairly weak and I'd say that a handful of the aurei...
