Oh, yes. A gold Scottish unicorn or Sword & Scepter piece are on my dream coin list! Those are particularly well-struck ones. Out of my league...
Seriously though- neat coin. I had to take the quick refresher course on Flavius Victor. I don't remember if I ever had one of his coins in my...
Sharp Max Thrax! Better than my old one from a decade ago. [IMG] "The man, the legend, the chin"
Not everything at flea markets is junk. That's a handsome set, and a pretty good chunk of bullion. Might be a fun way of spanning the gap...
I've added some more. A few are a bit lower grade than the ideal F+ to VF-ish range I'm after, but I'm enjoying them as a cheap(-er) sideline so...
Flavius Victor was often referred to by his contemporaries as "Flavey", and wore large sundials on a chain around his neck. Not to be confused...
I agree. Those were exactly my thoughts, but as usual, it just took me a lot more words to say them. :rolleyes:
Only about 6 to 12 cents, assuming you could find a buyer, which you probably couldn't. It's extremely common, but not as common as the 1958-D,...
I agree. Probably gold plated. Not really worth any premium (unless somebody just wanted to give you a buck or two for it as a curiosity). But...
Certainly there is some corrosion and scratches, but in this low a grade, coins sometimes get a "pass", and it might get a straight PO01 grade....
I've always thought the Mt. Argaeus reverses looked interesting. I suppose the many protrusions there represent trees? First time I saw that...
All of my auction experience (at least as a seller/consignor) is through eBay, so there ya go.
Indeed. I have some dealer experience, but only a very small scale. I've since abandoned any pretensions of that, and have resumed being just a...
I suppose I could always let the Brabant coin go on eBay via true auction, cross my fingers, and hope it does well. It might. Then again, there...
Thanks very much.
All right. So here's the coin I'd potentially offer in trade. Belgium (Brabant): gold Carolus d’or (florin) of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, ca....
That's not in my opinion quite as nice as the one I posted, but I do think it's 80% as nice ... for ~50% the money. Thanks for this input, y'all....
Thanks. I opened those last three. I'll catch you up on those soon, when I get a chance. Hey, maybe I got one of the fine Acme products I...
Oooh... that one has diamonds! :greedy::hilarious::rolleyes:
Oh, really? Thumbnail uploads? I don't see any thumbnail uploads! You must have been imagining things! ;)
