I can, if not understand, explain once you said the word "pedigree". Many moneyed investors have gone gaga over pedigree, believing that at some...
Honestly asking, is any coinage of Antioch in RPC? I thought Antioch was, (at least at times), a weird animal, with many considering it just as...
Lol, that is the thing with us old bastards, right? I bought mine back when, and I don't "need" it at these prices. I might if I don't own 50+...
Not buying anything at these prices unless price is unaffected by PM prices, (collectible). Pt and Pd are weird ducks. I like Pt, have many Pt...
That is what is weird to me. To me, and I know everyone is definitely different, I would prefer the coin I got over this one. That is why I...
I looked for years at Biddr and just typed in "Julius". Got some other hits but would let me know which JC were up for auction at those firms. I...
I was actually wondering if the ancient market had weakened since the piece I got seems vastly underpriced. I like the other two lots as well. A 5...
I know the coin market can be confusing but I am still scratching my head about the NN auction yesterday. I won this QUITE a bit over what I...

How scarce are the issues?
A chemical like water or acetone that cannot attack the surface of a coin is what I call safe conservation. Sometimes a coin needs to have harsher...
Extremely nice example, top 1% in existence easily. Cool, dramatic overstrike as well.
Thank you very much sir. Some kind of decoration would explain why the crest on the obverse is not connected and other puzzling details. I feel...
Sorry for horrible pics. It was in hallway of dealer I know. Around 2.5 grams.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Heck yeah we do, it it needs it. I have always been scared, though, to touch my avatar with the little bit of dark junk on her left shoulder. It...
Eh, I think they are beautiful coins sir. I would be proud to have such coins in my collection and to enjoy regardless of what slabbing services...
It is just tough for any coin to survive that pristine. I am not good at telling cleaned either. I usually go for the "crusty" looking ones when...
I agree. Let a professional remove this. If we were talking about a LRB in a silver holder I would say do it yourself, but you are looking at an...
