I got mine from Heritage Auctions and so I’m guessing they also verify authenticity when they get it right? I mean like if they were selling fakes...
Here are some better closeups. I forgot how much some people hate seeing the slab. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Not all Ancient coins have been found exposed to the soil. There was one case I remember where a hoard of Athenian owl tetradrachmae were found...
Thanks! Yeah I was thinking I’d love to make Julius Caesar number 6 since he transformed the Republic into the Empire and Augustus followed him.....
Some facts: Under the reign of Tiberius in 14 AD a Roman silver Denarius weighed 3.9 grams and was 97-99% pure silver. But in 148 AD a Denarius...
XF is not uncirculated. XF is Extra Fine. MS = uncirculated AU = almost/about uncirculated XF is right below AU so definitely not uncirculated...
Well if that’s what you like then go for it. Buy all the ungraded raw coins you’d like. But please don’t tell me what I should be doing. It’s...
Yeah I have a cool display box that fits 6 graded coins perfectly and I want to put them in that. For the 6th coin I’d like to make it Titus or...
Yeah I know what you mean. I had to set myself to a strict budget for these two and I’m super happy that I was able to get them within my budget.
Just a personal preference. I’m a clumsy person and denarii are so little. It’s easy to drop them. Especially if I’m trying to hold them by the...
Not long ago I posted my first ever denarius. One from the reign of Hadrian. I said I was going to focus on the “Five Good Emperors” first and I...
Thanks yeah its mine :). I'm curious if the Heritage Auction sticker helps sort of verify authenticity? I mean if experts at both NGC & Heritage...
A quarter million ounces seems very small considering the solar market. 12 troy oz per home x 250,000 homes = 3 million troy oz of silver alone....
I was watching a video where Elon Musk was talking about solar panels and how only 12.3 million homes have solar panels and he mentioned that...
Basically I was asking about just the average LCS. Like if you drove to a random city in America and Googled coin shops and want to the ones...
There is no way to "mint to demand". They mint the entire stock at once because it's too expensive to mint to demand.
But even with a 24 hour limit what's to stop dealers from having all their employees, friends and families buy for them? Then it becomes a game...
I'm guessing they must be some of the cheaper Ancient coins? I was kind of talking about the expensive stuff like the Roman gold aureus, Persian...
Fair enough. I'm guessing you'd still pay for the PMs though right? Like a gold aureus is still 7-8 grams of gold regardless of what form it's...
Same with the whole MS/PF 70 thing. Now sure if a coin looks flawless compared to an MS69 with a hairline scratch I understand. But when you...
Separate names with a comma.
