You’re right. I rechecked my numbers and had 17 coins listed, I added the Macrianus and Quietus twice. I get to $800 easily. Plus the consignor...
Nice group of coins. At $240 (including buyers fee), they really did their consignor a disservice not listing and photographing all the coins....
Both are tokens/spintria so a die link wouldn't be unusual. Barry Murphy
The first coin in this thread does not look like an official Rome mint issue. The portrait style is odd. Barry Murphy

For what purpose are you trying to contact “David”? They each have different jobs and I can point you in the right direction.
Lange, Vagi, King, or Camire?
It does. But there are humans involved so mistakes occasionally happen, even with several places where it could have been caught. 7500-12000 coins...
This was just a mech error. It was just a case of grabbing the wrong drop down in a database. Send it in and it can be corrected at no charge. If...
Strike and surface grades are completely subjective, based on the coin, based on the grade, and judged by David and my combined 60 years...

There is no such thing as Thompson 190.1. Thompson doesn’t have decimal points. The .1 is a wildwinds invention indicating I assume that it’s the...
Ken, The Dupondius you illustrated was net graded to CVF, it wasn't a full grade service with strike and surface. My guess is you were comparing...
NGC has several options for holdering thicker coins. One option is to use a regular size holder but not suck all the air out, leaving a slight...
Yes it's Aes Rude and yes it was money. NGC doesn't slab any Aes Rude, Aes Signatum, Aes Grave or any cast coins of any type. Barry Murphy
As a dealer I would have paid $30 at most for this coin, so to me it sold for too much. It's worn pretty slick. There are similar ones on VCoins...
RomanCollector, it's impossible to make comments on your initial post as you don't state what the coin sold for or what you think it should have...
I met Jules for the first time at the 1983 or 84 EAC convention. I ended up sitting next to him at a dinner one night. He was passing around a few...
