Good choice! :) Fortunately those ones can be had for a reasonable price so you could own your dream coin one day.
You mean this one right? [ATTACH]
The only condition I’m going to add is that the coin you pick cannot be sold since otherwise people would obviously pick the most expensive...
Thanks! ^_^ I’ve wanted one of these for a while but sadly they aren’t up for auction very often and the ones that did come up had problems like...
It’s considered a 1951 penny set I suppose. Usually though people don’t refer to those 3 as a set though. They just refer to them as having a...
I placed a bid on this one originally and it sold for $780 (that’s including the buyers premium). Would you say it’s unattractive or would you be...
OMG $1,000?? Wow I guess I got a pretty good deal. I bid $1,050 + $210 BP = $1,260 total. But I think mine is pretty attractive even with a...
Oh hey I have that book! Good stuff. [ATTACH]
Well I mean it doesn’t really matter in terms of the value of the coin. I just have never really been a fan of highly debased coins. Idk why I...
I was wondering that myself xD but then I realized I wanted it anyway. Maybe it was overstruck over a Greek didrachm?

Wow that’s pretty cool you have all 3! Mine definitely looks like the first one based on how the “ROMA” looks. Would you agree?
Hmm I guess I just figured maybe that’s why this bar was refined to only .891 fineness rather than .999. Then I wondered if that’s why it says...
Well HA listed it as 160.64 troy ounces just like it is stamped on the bar. Right now it has a bid of $270,000 which is hilarious because it’s...
I really hope it’s a high purity one. I’d be happy if it was at least 92% silver or more considering they could refine it as pure as 97% back...
Well I mean it was found in the shipwreck of the SS Central America so my guess is that it was damaged somehow whether it was during the wreck...
I was just browsing Heritage Auctions, something I do regularly, and I came across this gold ingot bar from 1855. It says it’s ~160 oz of .891...
Thanks! I appreciate you answering this for me :). I’m not sure if mine came from Spanish mines or is a debased one from later. I did look at...
Anyone happen to know the purity of the quadrigatus?
Thanks! :) I’ve had my eye on one of these for a long time. Unfortunately they didn’t come up for auction very often and the ones that did had...
