It was the Greek words from the Rosetta Stone that was the key to solving hieroglyphs right? If I remember what I learned from school the key to...
Ah ok fair enough. I live in California and I do pay sales tax so you’re lucky you don’t have to deal with that.
That’s a great deal! I think €220 is about $250 or so since I know the Euro is worth a little bit more than the US Dollar but not a lot more like...
Yup it did. The person must have bid $2,600 + 20% ($520) premium = $3,120. I thought I overbid a bit when I bid $750. Previous HA sales of the...
All I can say is that I think they are very late (4th-5th century) Roman coins due to how debased they are. The debasement got really really...

Gaius Suetonius was a 1st century Roman historian whose most well known work was “De Vita Caesarum” commonly referred to as “The Twelve Caesars”....
Oh wow nice!! I definitely think those coins would be worth waiting for. ^_^ A few months ago I was looking at Ancient Judea coins and I was...
After seeing all these Jewish coins I’m starting to think maybe I should collect them too. xD I mean I guess since I collect Roman coins and...
Nice coins! Just curious do you happen to have any Shekels? I read an article that said during Roman times Jews who came to make a sacrifice at...
I think this year is an obvious exception to normal years since they changed to the T2 design so they decided to make proofs of both design for...
Well I mean when it comes to open bidding with no reserve I imagine sometimes people get things much cheaper than they’re worth. Maybe not often...
Yeah I didn’t post all the information I meant to say and it came across incorrectly. I normally can get 1/10th oz gold & 10 oz of silver with my...
