https://cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=229190 This records the sale of an earlier example of the Akragas Becker for only $1600 + fees. Seriously!
I did not know they were still in business. Becker was a master die cutter of the 1800's. Rosa was a lesser copyist of the 20th century who...
I have that problem, too. I would not send a coin that I did not have some doubts about so I see myself throwing good money after bad. I also...
Anyone who buys a $1000 coin for $89 from a guy who sells plants is asking for a weed. It is no bargain even if we can not find a match in the...

While our little family here is quite varied in terms of budget and collecting interests, relatively few collectors of ancient coins are deeply...
You have to type fast to beat Bing! While talking about things that make no great matter please note my Alexander shows standards with an extra...
The new photos make all the difference! They read (in Greek) M ANT GORDIANOC. The way the city name was divided on the reverse was not...
This issue fooled at least one other pro: http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1879869
