I purchased a coin with Paypal last night around midnight and everything went OK.
You made it through the clio gauntlet and won a very handsome coin! Congrats!
I had a similar experience with a European auction platform. I came away without being able to place a bid on the lot I was watching. At least you...
Excusing the scratch, that is quite a lovely coin. Congrats @Mat!
Collecting the coins of the historical figures in Shakespeare's plays is quite an inspired speciality! In context, that little Cunobelius bronze...
Talk about Friday afternoon dies! During times of civil war it's hard telling who was pressed into service at the mints, apparently talent, or...
I am sorry to hear you are parting with the bulk of your collection, but the few coins you are keeping sure are beautiful! I fear I am in a...
Congratulations @ominus1! It's such a great feeling to finally acquire a long sought after piece.
That's a possibility, assuming an impending sale is the intent. Although, listing such a piece with CNG, Nomos, or in his home country Roma should...
It was a starting point not a true estimate. And you're correct about 'interested parties' - myself and a couple of other bidders who really...

Epic!
You won't get an argument out of me! That Pax type was actually struck in 75 (COS VI) and likely commemorates the opening of Vespasian's Temple...
I agree with most of what you say. I don't think there is any meaning or importance in the legend break (or indeed most legend breaks) - the die...
If it's any consolation, my RIC 1312 is not on solid ground either. Given to me by Harry Sneh and examined by Ian Carradice, both thought it...
A specialist collector does not just check off catalogue numbers - he or she gets into the nooks and crannies of those numbers. Here is one of...
That's one bronze coin I would trade a small hoard of silver denarii for!
No, I exclusively collect silver. However, I have this denarius with a Ceres reverse struck for Domitian under Vespasian. It's part of an agrarian...
