I would recommend learning by getting rolls of pennies from your local bank and searching through them. Eventually you will learn which have...
Just curious what makes you think it’s leeching and not clipping?
Oh wow really? They’re “only” $500-$800? I thought they’d cost way more than that. I’ve had a budget of $1,000 waiting for a nice Augustus but...
I know you did. I appreciate it. I think that was regarding my Septimius Severus denarius right? But since then I’ve learned more about the...
Congrats! I collected them for a while until JMB sent me one with a big dent in the side (see circle) and then I saw how much the older ones cost...
I was watching a video that @Roman Collector shared with me about the debasement of the denarius from the medium sized high purity coins of the...
Which Roman Republic coins do you consider to be “common”? In my limited experience almost all Roman Republic coinage tends to be pretty pricey....
Meh no one is perfect. My guess is if I broke it out of the slab and sent it in again they would label it clipped. Perhaps whoever graded it the...

Go up to someone on the street and ask them: “Will toothpaste damage silver?” I guarantee most of them would say no. Silver as a metal in...
My point wasn’t about whether it’s ok to clean coins or not. It was the opposite. But mostly I was asking if heat could cause issues the same way...
Ouch! I wouldn’t mind some rainbow toning but melted plastic? No thanks! The way HA usually ships is in a custom cardboard box that fits a slab...
Well it’s important to remember Roman legionaries only got paid once every 4 months. They also had a much more simple minting process and the...
Would condensation be a problem even if the coin is slabbed? Aren’t the slabs airtight & waterproof? I guess I should stick to refreshing the...
I live in California. It’s even hotter than Vegas sometimes. [ATTACH]
I highly doubt it. Here is an authentic 1799 draped bust silver dollar. Try and see if you can spot the differences. Remember to look very...
