I'm going to preemptively say AU-55 because I see what can be interpreted as luster after being distirted by a scan. I would nat have risked more...
A whole tray of Athenian tets. :eek: I had the chance to buy four for nigh of $300. But I did not have the funds to make the purchase....
Is this a scan? That will determine my interpretation of the photos.
Could it be possible that the emperor wanted to make a good outward image and keep the scandal as much a secret as possible? This is strong...

How does one grade something like that? It does not fit in with modern conventions. Does PCGS have a secret dartboard that they use whenever...

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...
This. There have been instances where someone posted a live auction, and the amount of bidders bidding on the coin increased dramatically.
I really like those. Lots of detail, nice style, good centering, attractive patina... What's not to like about these coins?
This one has a square hole, but I din't think it coutns... One of the first square-holed coins of China: [ATTACH]
With my time commitments and budget, I can only buy one or two ancients a month. Even then, I still am not up-to-date in my cataloging, so don't...
The patina struck me as "off" on all three of them. I would return them.
That!s a very pretty coin.
