Wow, a uniface Sasanian coin! That must be rare :D Let’s see the reverse :)
Maybe the current images show the coin in a more flattering light. Sometime I take dozens of pictures of a single coin with varying angles of...
How can you cheat when there are no rules? Do it however you wish :)
Agora is really starting to attract some good consignments!! I was an underbidder on three lots. Didn't win anything.
Looking forward to the rest of the story!

A few clarifications regarding my posts. I was not implying that FSR does not have the trust of his current customers. Clearly he has earned a...

I agree with RC and others-- the price is out of line. Enlarge the picture-- the metal is porous and unappealing. The reverse is weakly struck...
Good questions! Juggling phone and email bids near the close would be fraught with problems. He’ll probably need to have a phone/email bid cut...
