Well, the mistake was trusting ANACS, :p:D I don't mind them for U.S. and even modern world coins, but ancients...nah. Same goes for ICG &...
I'm going to go out on a limb and say the coin is OK. It has some weird stuff going on and hopefully getting a more professional opinion will...
There is two coin magazines based in Europe that I read. One is "Coin News", which is monthly, and the other is "Coin Collector", which is 4 times...
Other then Barry, Jyrki Muona the specialist in all things Otho. That's where one of my Tets of his is from. One of my Otho denarii I got ended up...

Nice find & Otacila Severa silvers are usually well made.
I spent some of the day watching the auction just because. It still boggles me the prices some of the coins go for. But, many are wonderful...

Wonderful addition, Rob.
"Bronzemat" here from IG, sorry to hear you're having issues. Hopefully things could get squared away for you. Exactly, I have gotten some...
Nice Domna with great hoard patina even though it's a limes. I would keep the dirt on it. The "Celtic? artifact" looks like it could use some Viagra.
Here comes another 10 page post. :D As for me, no I wouldn't use them. It's just too expensive to have them "slabbed" as is & I like to hold and...
Is there a pic you can post? Sounds like that was a deal.
