Just the nose. xD The rest of the coin looks just fine. Especially the reverse.
The way I see it is that the die shift happened during the minting/striking/hammering process so I would consider the die shift more of a “mint...
I don’t see them come up at auction often though. Granted I’ve only been using HA but I don’t think the coin in my OP is too bad at all. It does...
I really don’t mind the die shift much. I’m not sure if maybe the picture makes it look worse than it is. Sometimes if the camera has any...
No of course not. It wouldn’t make sense to compare modern coins to coins that have been around for 2,000 years. Im actually comparing it to...
It’s just that the denarius is supposed to be a highly pure silver coin (at least under Trajan it was since they were ~80% pure during his reign)...
What do you guys think? Does this Trajan denarius look fishy to you? It just doesn’t feel right to me and I’m curious if you guys agree something...
Nah it wouldn’t bother me at all if you decided to go bid on it and I lost because of it. That just means you are willing to pay more for it and...
Beautiful!! ^_^
Ask those CT members when they are selling their collections and I bet 99.9% of them would agree coins should sell for what they are worth. No...
I just figured there must be Mark Antony legion denarius collectors here. It’s just such a cool theme I knew there had to be at least a few....
I am waiting for Live Auction to submit my final bid. :) No matter who wins if bringing attention to it drives up the price it’s a good thing....
Fair enough. I won’t do it anymore. I’ve never done so but it was just such a cool coin I thought other people would like to see it since I know I...
Thanks! :) I wonder if more elaborate designs made coins harder to counterfeit?
I’m not advertising. I’m giving a heads up. Advertising implies that somehow I’m making money off spreading the word. Or trying to promote...
Yeah it’s beautiful! Nah I don’t own it yet but I have a pretty high winning bid on it so I’m like 90% sure I’ll win it. I bid quite a bit more...
I really like the obverse design on this coin. It makes beautiful work of the large flan. But I also love the writing on the reverse. All in all...
This is just a head’s up in case anyone is interested. I’ve talked to a couple collectors who are looking for specific legions so maybe this is a...
Ohhh you mean like my 5oz ATB quarter? Mine came in a box with a COA and has the P mintmark. Whereas they have others that come in tubes of 10...
I wouldn’t worry about your Designer’s Set being diverted. I had to wait a few days for processing on other orders I’ve made from the US Mint too....
