I wouldn't bother submitting coins from one of the three sources you mentioned. I had 0% success rate and for good reasons that unfortunately...
If you sent the images at the same time maybe they processed only one as they realized it was the same coin?! Otherwise it's pretty weird. Did you...
Would you mind sharing where did you buy the majority of your coins from? Looking for provenances for EL coins or owl tets that came out of the...
Damn not only did they re-engrave the sphinx, they went even further to smooth flan defects and filled in the edge split. This is really stupid...
Doesn't matter the coin was sold already. It seems there are a few collectors in north/south america who do not research their purchases and /or...
This is indeed very annoying. You have one person companies/ dealers buying at auctions, now on top you get big auction houses doing the same. Of...
This type was the second most influential coin for me as a kid that pushed me into collecting ancients. These series are sadly plagued by numerous...
You could send it to NGC to get it re-slabbed. I think they do it for free for coins that moved out of position.
Don't hold your breath. It's nearly the same team who sold the coin in the past in auctiones and there is a certain Italian dealer who doesn't...
The die break you are describing was thought to be a characteristic of genuine coins but it exists in fake coins as well. One of the signs it's a...

Currently offered in an auction as Cahn 71 (!!!????) this type is actually illustrated as a modern fake (F1) in Cahn. Sadly, there are several...
Yeah don't hold your breath, most coins are above estimate and some prices are already insane
So if I get this well, you don't want to take the coin out because you will destroy a page you wrote about the coin and you use this page as...
Did you try using a toothpick to check if you can remove it? I had a similar waxy deposit which was quite easy to remove this way, see the...
I don't even remember when was the last time I saw a fake EL hekte from Lesbos. You are probably talking about even smaller fractions than hektes,...
How often are you successful in your bids when using as a guide the price ranges of past sales ?
It's Cypriot sylabic script translating to may the curse fall upon him. Seems the curse worked as the forger let the Paphian staters alone and is...
There aren't a lot of fake EL hektes around so I was surprised when this popped up in eBay. It pretends to be Bodenstedt 55 but it's a failure. It...
