I'll go for VF-30, no CAC. I thought those critters didn't circulate. This one did as a 1st yr of issue.
Delaware?
I thought Californians only bought $50 gold pieces and stuff like that? These coins should easily be well over the measly $2K limit for you guys....
You mean like this? A hoard of Antonine (96 - 192AD) denarii I photographed while in Warsaw last year. Quite worn: indicating they were in...
Yet a lot of the major coin clubs and auction houses are in CA. You mean there is an 8% additional buyers' fee (tax) on coins <$2,000 ?
What was the pre-reduced weight & purity of the denarius and the purity after Severus Alexander's reduction? I'll guess the old purity was around...
I like the 1905-S better!:vamp:
Exactly ! Couldn't have put it better myself. I did run across the occasional dime or quarter in better grades but never a half. It made me...
Congrats & a wonderful piece of research & writeup. A tetradrachm by Lysimachous was perhaps the 1st major coin that I bought upon finishing...
Actually it was an 1892 Barber in slabbed (PCGS or NGC) 63. Bought sometime around 1992 for ~$900. Not bought 63 years ago: sorry. Not a pretty...
Not fond of EBay questions. I gather it's a raw 93-S on the Bay, so it probably won't straight grade.
I voted MS-64 but it could be somewhere between a 64 & 65. I owned an 1892 in 63 years ago and it was quite ugly compared to this.
I have a late AE trashy but haven't photographed it. I'll do so and post it here. Thanks for an excellent article, I'll follow this thread.
Certainly. Actually I got it in 2019: not exactly recently? [ATTACH] Claudius II Gothicus, 268-270. Denarius (Orichalcum, 17 mm, 3.64 g, 12 h),...
I'll be visiting the British Museum and will hopefully have the opportunity to see some of the non-displayed Roman coins in their archives. I'm...
One of my more recent Imperial denarii was one of Claudius II (268-270 AD). This one isn't silver but purely bronze. I got it as I wanted to...
What I call nice and what a coin dealer would call nice have traditionally proven to be quite different. I really don't like the bother of...
Very nice. I was actually seeking to make a 2 oz silver commemorative coin but am not an engraver, nor do I have the time to become one. Would...
I think this is also an As.
Thanks very much Curtis! I will correct my attribution. This also reconciles with what I paid for it. I recall $950 was my winning bid. It...
