Yes, it's on.
I wouldn't buy a bulk lot. Take your time, buy each coin based on it's own merits. There are some auctions that offer nice bulk lots, but you...
John Jencek is not organizing it and that is his website. I believe Tom Cederlind is helping to organize it this year but and I also got an email...
Neat coin, Red. Great write up, & super pedigree too! I still don't own a Victoriatus and RR is my speciality.
Octavian, Crawford 540/2; CRI 315; Sydenham 1338 - 36 BC. Advertising the yet to be built Temple of Divius Julius in the Roman Forum. I think...
Drinking and shopping online are simply one of the special pleasures of modern life.
At least the coin won't require counseling later in life when you come clean that it was an accident. :shifty:
That's a nice coin, Phil. I remember last year, perhaps the year before, a whack, whack, whack echoing through the NY bourse only to find out it...
I simply tell them to "look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" I typically get the question "how much did it buy" before whether it's real....
I too just found this site recently. It's a lot more fun than Forvm and being lectured on the rules all the time. :banghead::blackeye: I...
I'm going to go a bit against the grain here and say that I believe seat makers should build seats if there are butts to fill them. Clearly,...
I appreciate your comments and thank you for making those points, 4to. Those are reasons I don't like slabs for ancients as well.
I think the grade on your coin was pretty accurate. The obverse suffers from a bit of a tight flan but the obverse is slightly offstruck. I'm...
That's not to say that your coin isn't a great coin for the right collector. The grade is not accurate. That's my problem.
I actually am appreciative that one of the major coin grading services has a dedicated ancient service that serves the needs of a market that...
Thank you EID MAR.
I've had a big year. The Arrius Secundus hails from Haeberlin (1933), HP Hall (1950), and Niggeler (1966). There are other pedigrees lurking...
Yes, and as Phil knows, I made unworthy attempts at all 3 of those only to be schooled severely by the Master. I wasn't event underbidder on any...
An interesting read, Phil, and compelling explanation. I'm waiting for my copy from the ANS.
I bought nothing in the auction today, though Volodya's Victoriatus was THE one I had every intention of pursuing but ended up not bidding this...
