Thanks Doug! I appreciate the kind words. And yes, if I ever put together a catalog, it wouldn't be the cover coin. I have a couple new coins on...
Thanks everyone! I'll definitely post a thread when it eventually arrives (which might be a while, knowing the pandemic). Pre-pandemic, I'd have...
I bought it. Still recovering from the bidding process: it's been no small amount of anxiety for the last couple weeks! I should have been...
Very valid points, and I agree with your assessment: it's unlikely that this is natural wear. I hadn't looked at when the prior auction occurred...
Here's my Rhodes drachm. In a perfect world, it would be a tetradrachm but I've never succeeded in finding one this artistic. The style of this...
Not necessarily: the bull's belly was the highest point on the examples I've owned (they're a rather high-relief type). I unfortunately don't have...
Great point; I hadn't looked closely there. That is noticeably less visible to where I wonder if it was naturally worn down or artificially...
Perhaps my early morning auction eyes are failing me but I'm not seeing the tooling: it seems like just a difference in photography. Could you...
Congratulations! That's a wonderful coin at a very reasonable price. Syracuse in general was relatively inexpensive today. I still was outbid on...
I just noticed a Simpsons coin on MA-Shops. To each their own, but I think I'll stick with ancients. [ATTACH]
I couldn't afford it but holding an Alexander the Great stater at the Pegasi table at an ANA show caused me to be bit dangerously strong by the...
Photography is definitely an art rather than a science. Here's my favorite example of a coin that is far better in-hand than in the seller's...
The 3D goggles in the Domus Aurea were hands-down my favorite use of augmented/virtual reality. It was really incredible to see a rendering of...
Fantastic coins! To your question of if it is "the" Sphinx, it's also worth noting that the Romans were notoriously bad at depicting other...
That's a shame but understandable knowing the science. I'll miss seeing many of you there!
Thanks to the member who forwarded the email on. It is not from a legitimate security company and was instead sent through a common dark web...
That looks highly suspicious and certainly isn't from any legitimate security company. It's possible that there's been a credential breach which...
Could you send me a message of a screenshot of the email without clicking any of its links? That sounds extremely fishy to me (I work in the...
Congrats! That's a beautiful Marc Antony!
I bought my main lot for 1/3rd of my max bid so I can't complain!
