lol thanks - it's a hard one for me to figure out definitively. I'm leaning towards AT at the moment. By the way, your best chance at beating me...
Do you think that this is natural or artificial toning? The bright blue hue and the dark patches makes me suspicious, but maybe that could be...
Granted these are in various conditions, types, relative rarities, etc... the price difference is about 10K from the most expensive to the least...
Yes, I know... I'm asking this as a serious buyer. I've seen them typically fall in the 4-5 figure range (5 for really nice examples, maybe even...
I love history, too. But I also love design. I see it as a balancing act. If it's a coin from a civilization and era with a rich history, but the...
What would you guys value this at? I've been eyeing one like this for a while, but I'm seeing prices all over the place. Not sure what the level...
How much is it?
Are you referring to this one? http://www.colosseocollection.com/p444364358/h1240c5d4#h1240c5d4 The link you posted comes up blank. EDIT: Never...
Can this be referred to as "AU" condition? It looks a lot better than some of the XF condition ancient coins that I'm seeing. Pic from the 'net...
This to me is a "good" grade. But that's relative. If there happens to be way more coins in a much better condition, then I'd want the better...
I was hoping one of you knew lol.
Can we translate it? lol ... like how the metric system is converted to and from the imperial system.
Yes, I read through a lot of it. However, what should it look like, hypothetically speaking? The same as, say, a museum's replica pieces?
So what "should" a non-gold but perfect ancient coin look like? I'm sure that most of them have succumbed to the elements. Would they look like...
I post nudes all the time! (^^ That's never going to be taken out of context lol... See my avatar? ;)). Human nudity has so many rules. Unlike...
How do old gold coins turn out? I'm more of a silver guy but I'd imagine these are super rare examples of what it would have looked like back in...
Has there ever been a discovery of some or a hoard of long lost ancient coins found in MS condition (in modern-speak, of course)? Yes, will do.
That'll be hard to get over. I'll probably still baby them, at least at the beginning. Yeah, I love buying raw in part for that reason. Though,...
Good point about authenticating an expensive piece. But, not guaranteeing a coin when that's part of why coins are being submitted sounds a bit...
So no black ring insert Air-tites? Bad idea?
Separate names with a comma.
