Definitely a talking piece! The ones I posted were used to store garum which was a kind of fish sauce made from salted fish guts. Apparently it...
So I think by now everyone knows that I often participate in Heritage Auction's weekly Ancients auctions. I try to pay 80% of what previous coins...
Nice! I was just reading an article and it said the "SC" referenced the Senate's responsibility for issuing copper coinage and that the Emperor...
Oh no I don’t collect them just Roman coins. I didn’t even know it was legal to collect them as antiquities since often looters take that kind of...
Thanks :) Yeah for sure! I know some of the Emperors (like Gordian III) are annoyingly common and practically every collector of Roman coinage...
Oh I didn’t know that. I wasn’t a CT member last year. My bad :/ Dang I thought I came up with it myself..
Ah I see. I’ll probably just have the coins graded and not the COA since they aren’t numbered or hand signed. It’ll save some money on grading...
Nice one! Next up is Augustus! I know I should be posting but I don’t have the super early Emperors (my earliest is Trajan and I have a bid on a...
Yeah but I’m not selling my CC or O since I need it for my own set. Oh do people really buy COAs? I always assumed if it was in a PCGS slab there...
This post is just for fun. I thought up a game and I was wondering if we could finish it as a forum. So basically the game works like this: We...
Ohh gotchya, that’s pretty cool! I thought maybe it was like these garum amphorae from Pompeii. [ATTACH] It’s hard to tell the difference tbh....
Does Zeus’s lightning bolt count as a weapon? xD [ATTACH]
Nice! Is that an amphora like they used to store garum/liquamen/wine etc.,? I wonder what was in it back in Roman times.
Well I only got 1 CC and O so I am keeping those for myself but I’m selling the 2 extra of everything else. I think it should just about cover the...
Ah ok thanks I’ll do that then. I’m hoping I can get at least 1x MS70 for each mint mark of the 2021 Morgan’s and the Peace Dollar so then if the...
Good point. Do you know if TPGs send the OGP and COAs back? Or should I just send the coins in the capsules on their own?
But wouldn’t sending it sealed show to the TPGs that it isn’t a cracked out PF69 coin being resubmitted attempting for the PF70? Also does the...
But then wouldn’t it also tell PCGS that it wasn’t a cracked out 69 being resubmitted for the 70 grade?
Well it’s just like my way of proving that the coins have not left the capsule or anything like that and they are as the Mint sent them. If I...
Oh ok I think I understand what you mean. Do you know if there will be registry sets for these coins? I’ve heard the main reason people pay so...
