Piggybacking off of what @Sallent said, it's actually shocking how well coins have held up versus other traditional hobbies and expensive...
Man, gotta love the experts in the YouTube comments section. I once shared a photo of one of my better denarii on a non-coin site to prove a point...
Savoca - Probably my favorite. Their fees are low, and their Blue auctions are sometimes peppered with very nice material. And the FedEx Shipping...
Ran out of space for the non-classicals! Sassanian Empire, Ardashir I $190, Amorepiccino [ATTACH] Nezak Huns, Napki Malka BI Drachm $30?...
Those are some lovely choices! I rarely ever win any high-ticket items from ebay... the last-second bidding wars get much more intense than at...
