This is important and happens many times. I understand however Sincona is actually formed from the coin division of UBS, it wasn't a separate...
Panini. Interspersed with Rodeo, F9mily and C7osure. (Trying to shake OTR out of my head but it's tough when its in every cafê playlist). I...
My favourites are several that no one has yet mentioned and that routinely get completely ignored, yet often sell high end rare genuine Republican...
I am pretty certain Alex22 was merely joking
I agree with almost nothing in this post. There's occasional points I recognise but going through item by item, it's almost a complete list of...
As with Joe and Phil, I stick rigorously to my criteria, which differ from Phil's even though we both collect high-end Roman Republican because I...
It's a denarius of Lucius Staius Murcus struck 41 BC, an ally of Brutus and Cassius. Yes the obverse is Neptune (Poseidon) with trident over...
Love those huge cast bronzes. For bronzes, flips are potentially gonna do a lot more damage than hands. Chlorine in PVC > hydrochloric acid. No...
Dropped them into an Abafil along with some other coins scattered about on my desk (some I've had for quite a while). This is probably a nicer...

I picked up a new phone last week, and found it had an intriguing new app that wasn't present on my old model phone. When you have a page of text...
But if they slab my slab hammer, how can I break it out?
I love to see underpriced slabs. I buy them and break them out. My slab breaker is 2500 years old and a couple kilos weight: this: [ATTACH] I...
Strictly date. I intermingle all the metals - gold silver and struck bronze - in each tray so as to keep date order. Many collectors don't - they...
I was underbidder on several lots illustrated in this thread. Meaning several people now own coins that were destined for the McCabe collection....
Good coin Michael. You'll need to locate a pre-2011 provenance in time so it has a travel passport. My coin is W.C. Boyd's example (1840-1906) ex...
Separate names with a comma.
