I've been attempting for the past couple months to save up for a couple really cool (and REALLY Expensive) coins. But new stuff keeps coming along...
Here are my pictures of the cent I want to keep. How do you grade it? I say MS-63 RB. Or am I a bit too conservative? I like it a lot for $22. :D...
I got this yesterday at a coin club auction for $26. I feel she is easily MS-64, if not 65. A definite improvement in both technical grade and...
This is also a Guy Clark coin. This one caught my eye because of the incredibly sharp detail. And at $45, I could not say "No"! Yes, I am...
This is another one of Guy Clark's coins I bought from Tom Wood. I was surprised to find it in his box, and when the price was cut to $200, I...
This is one of the seven coins from Guy Clark's inventory that I bought from Tom Wood this weekend. I might have overpaid at $100, but I don't...
I can buy either one of these (or maybe even both if the budget allows), and they are about the same price. Which would you prefer? [IMG] [IMG]...
I'm not aware of this having been done before, so I'll start one now. There have been a little too few threads on non-European empire coins, so...
There are so many coin shops in Greensboro! I am so used to having none within a 30-minute drive. I don't know if I posted this or not, but I...
I had recently walked into a coin shop and saw a very nice, original 1809 Half Dollar that I'd grade VF-20 (dealer said F-15+). When asked how...
Yesterday, I made an appointment to visit Bob Reis and get some tactile experience with the counterfeits he owns, as well as give him the chance...
Just cherried this from a dealer. I was hoping for a confirmation before I tout it off for sale to specialists. I have been hoping to cherry this...
It has been cut in antiquity, but I think it is a denarius of Nero. Correct me if I am wrong. The dealer has it priced at $19. Should I have...
I had seen this type posted by @TIF, and I fell in love with it. I have a fascination for creepy coins or coins with dark imagery, connotations,...
I just made my first purchase of the year! I had originally planned to buy this in December, but a delay in the arrival of a check pushed things...
Ancient Chinese Bronze Imitation Cowrie (ca 1000-200 BC). $40 Very scarce type, and hard to find intact. The patina is quite attractive as well....
Before I start my top 10, I will give a few honerable mentions. Picking out a favorite 10 were just as hard as remembering which coins were bought...
@Ken Dorney 's givaway #5 arrived yesterday on Saturnalia. Here's what appeared: Roman Denarius. As far as I can tell, the ruler is Trajan, and...
I bought this from Bill Fivaz last night at a coin club meeting. I had never seen one of these before, and the price was right. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Definite AU. I say AU-58. Probably one of the nicest-toned you will see at this grade level. The pics do not give the luster justice. [ATTACH]...
