Some people like Greco-Roman, or as it's now called, Byzantine history. One point adding weight to your view is that soon after the fall of the...
Beautiful half-siliqua of Odoacer. I should try to look for one. There has in recent time, perhaps the past 5 or 10 years, been a lot of...
I think this is a medal & not a coin. Thus grading standards may be different. Also grading by photos is difficult because surface issues may...
You could always go for a dek. Those are big ones.
I wonder when it was taken out of circulation? Maybe 1950's? A bit worn tho.
I recall having a Joseph Napoleon 8 R? ca. 1812 or sometime. It's strictly unc tho. I'll look for a photo.
It also depends on the country and type of material one is seeking. Also times change. Coins which used to appear on dealers' pricelists in the...

Just snagged the below at the FUN show in Florida Jan 5th-8th. A tetradrachm featuring Marc Anthony on the reverse side. I believe this is dated...

Very pretty 1915 half. Looks high grade unc from the picture. Isn't this type of item normally slabbed? Of course if it's in a 1st gen holder &...
I guess it's based on Littleton Stamp & Coin; a totally legitimate outfit based in Littleton, NH. It opened in 1945. [ATTACH]
Thanks very much for this info! I agree, the latter Roma Provenances "From a private European collection" are essentially worthless. It does...
Unfortunately I can't find the "E" on the 1644 half crown you mentioned. The "ox" below the date stands for Oxford I presume?
I've never slabbed many of my things unless they were being sold. For example I've an 1889-s Liberty $10 in what I & a Heritage numismatist...
That is completely true. This happened to me when my flight was delayed and I arrived at a major show at noon the day BEFORE it was slated to...
