Per ancients, I found one mention on numisforums. I swear I saw some relatively recent posts of some really crummy, common late Roman bronzes,...
The one I'm looking at has an electric blue label. We shall see. It all depends if I am more influenced by the gold. I hope my first Morgan buy...
There's hardly anything too exciting in mind for my upcoming regular buy. If I don't go for a budget gold coin, I might just take the Morgan...
In my quest to find one Morgan dollar, I was trawling the vcoins' listings. I never heard of SEGS, but the particular one I was looking at was...
Here's some advice: keep what you have! You'll probably regret it if you get rid of it, and then want it back later.
I didn't know they were still around. Is that the same company which also offered some really cruddy ancients, back in the 1970's?
Is that a centenionalis? Or a copper core of a solidus imitation? It doesn't look much like gold.
Ok, thanks.
Would this sold coin count as a rainbow toner? https://www.toughcoins.com/1.00-1882.html Something like that would also be good. I'm not really...
Dad reported that the coin store currently didn't have any rainbow toners. They said those sell fast. I suppose toning is something which I...
Yes, I was going to give very similar advice. Or, perhaps that's something telling you to move on to a different aspect of the hobby, like...
I usually don't bother asking to see the super-expensive coins. Too bad I was a poor college student when Jon Kern had bags of $500 solidi.
There were three tiers of pricing in those days. The $30 ones generally weren't great deals, unless you got a tet or something uncommon. I...
I also recall they had a lot of Heraclii from Catania and Sicily, as well as pre-reform 40 nummia.
I don't think I have anything photographed from pick bins. What kind of stuff does HJB have in the pick bins (or junk boxes, as we called it back...
I like the friendly ones, as long as it isn't something egregious, like trying to pass off dreck to me. I try to be polite, try to read the dealer...
Could it be shilling?
I like #1 the best. For example, the manager of the local coin store is very nice, and if it's a raw coin, a variant of #1 happens. If the place...
Like George Carlin would say, "WHY?!!"
I started out with David Van Meter's guide to Roman Imperial coins, and it's still available. Sear's Roman coins and their values (5 volumes) are...
