We still cherry pick but now we decide whether we want a coin offered with no 'value added' service, another with scanty ID from a volume seller,...
I have collected several things but there has always been one rule guiding me. I never wanted items made to be collected. I collected stamps...
Will your 3rd Century project include the Barbarous Radiates? I know a show dealer who had a hundred of them last year ranging from under $10 to...
I really do not think the 15 years was the big difference here. My examples were just a few coins selected from hundreds in the stock of the...
If you appreciate humor, consider buying a DIVO VICTORINO PIO coin. He may have been a low life but he had good press. [ATTACH]
1. No. If one of the upper group of experts has accepted a coin, I doubt others would find otherwise. I personally dislike their little plastic...
My only denarius is a fourree shown here too often. My Antioch tetradrachm would be a great coin were it not for the fact that no Provincials of...
November 2001 was quite likely a Baltimore show where I always made Jonathan Kern's table a first stop. I never had enough money to buy all he...

I'll not say that it makes no difference whether it is good or not but if YOU are not comfortable and if the seller will accept the return, send...
How does this coin with PM but no TRP fall into the sequence? If it were a product of a ruler who was not a 'stickler' I would say it was a new...
