We all have our pet peeves. Here's one of mine. When a firm that sells middling quality coins, and with zero heritage or track records, decides to...
There are some important Roman Republican rarities from my collection closing May 1st; the full group is here:...
I show below my ticket filing system. There's 100 PVC leaves, and I use the first 9 or 10 of 12 slots per leaf so I don't need to rearrange...
http://gallery.respublicacoins.com/picture.php?/155/category/3 That's your current profile picture coin! Somehow I recognise it. :)
Great. Welcome to the Provenance Bug Club. This thread is a wonderful introduction to the joys of provenances.
McNall was the dodgy part of NFA. Here's a non paywalled article from 2nd June 1994....
I show front and back of the ticket with Knobloch written on it, in the same handwriting as Joel Malter in an earlier post. S.C. Collector. But...

They 100% definitely came from the same collection because multiple different tickets are known from other collectors with the same red writing...
I have by the way updated my records with this discussion. Record everything, one never knows when it may become relevant. Still thinking on this....
That's very interesting, as I mentioned other tickets are known from the 1970s with the same red text on different backgrounds belonging to the...
Attached is a ticket[ATTACH] that I'm looking for an ID for. The coin - a Roman Republican denarius issued by Publius Satrienus with a she wolf on...
The Mercury quadrans is not an error type as there are multiple obverse dies. The type dates right from the start of the denarius coinage when...
I would warn against any listing with a "make an offer". There's abundant data that some of the largest ebay ancient coin sellers routinely list...
it seems from replies that collections are either very small or very large and that libraries are either tiny or huge, and the size of library...
I'm waiting for the original poster to give us an answer to his own questions!
1. What metrics do you choose to add coins? 1a. Balance and completeness. I want my collection to look at first glance like an essentially...
