Your work is very much appreciated Geek. I would like to have such a list in one place myself.
It's actually common knowledge among collectors of slabs that they don't prevent toning at all. We just don't hear about it so much on this...
The appearance of my coins won't matter to me in 50 years. Perhaps they feel the same way.
Is there a reason coinage disappeared for 7 centuries after the Burmese took over the area? You would think that such a useful invention would not...
Some dealers charge more than others. If I come across a $20 coin that interests me, and it's listed for $200, I offer $20. If the answer is no, I...
I agree. I have a list of small-time eBay dealers I follow, but the quality of their inventory can vary wildly, and sometimes they offer...
Here is one of my less-than-FDC specimens, but I like the various marks in the right field... [ATTACH]
I like the pied coin very much Doug! Don't clean it. Us collectors of ancients have it all over the collectors of moderns who only think they...
Looks like the engraver's tool slipped as he got to the end of the finger. [ATTACH]
I'm not sure you need to remove GC, just list it with the caveat that they specialize in US coins and don't have much of a selection of ancients....

I'm being facetious of course. These types are a dime-a-dozen in lower grades, but I decided to go full-out and get a respectable example. The one...
Barclay Head was the keeper of coins and medals at the British Museum toward the end of the 19th-century. Although modern scholarship has added a...
Licinius I AE Follis, 21mm, 3.18g Siscia mint: 315-316. Obv.:IMP LIC LICINIVS P F AVG; Laureate head right. Reverse.: IOVI CON-SERVATORI; Jupiter...
Very nice coins! I had a Diocletian ant (similar to the Aurelian) ask me nicely to buy it. When I took a second look at the double-struck reverse,...
Your pics are also excellent, and the coins are lovely - nothing mediocre about them at all!
I've seen the coins, and they've interested me very much, but I just don't know them enough to properly vet them. There are always a few Asain...
