Great coin. I "dally" around the area, always in danger of diving deeper. I have some cool pieces, like all of the Pharos type coins, (not all...
To me there are two "paths" of relatively good fake ancients. The traditional path is going through all of the work of making a good copy of the...
I used to buy on Ebay but I am just tired. Too many massively overpriced coins, too many blatant fakes, too much shenanigans. I have a few old...
I would disagree in that generalizations are always subject to exceptions, but for the vast majority of cases it is true. I would argue 99% of...
Please be aware NGC does not guarantee authenticity of ancients. They are good experts there, but not better than a number of auction firms I...
Yeah, been horribly busy the last 8 months. Too much stuff at work man, and with 3 kids at home driving 30+ minutes at night each way is a chore...
Oh, ok, makes more sense if read in a different context. I was worried someone was massively overpaying for G3! G3, due to great numbers of coins...
Yeah, I see similar prices generally. I think the BU and SP versions confused a lot of people and you lost some collectors by getting burned...
What Gordian III short of a gold piece is a $300-400 coin? Dude, I have never paid more than $30 for silver or copper Gordian III and most of mine...
I have never heard that about Spain, but some other countries. I cannot say though since I do not remember buying from Spanish auctions. I do have...
Of course I agree it's a good place, but also agree lots of competition. I believe it's the largest ancient coin auctioneer in the world....
Thank you, I was unsure. I simply have seen many, many issues from Antioch listed under imperial, while many more listed under provincial, and...
I can, if not understand, explain once you said the word "pedigree". Many moneyed investors have gone gaga over pedigree, believing that at some...
Honestly asking, is any coinage of Antioch in RPC? I thought Antioch was, (at least at times), a weird animal, with many considering it just as...
Lol, that is the thing with us old bastards, right? I bought mine back when, and I don't "need" it at these prices. I might if I don't own 50+...
Not buying anything at these prices unless price is unaffected by PM prices, (collectible). Pt and Pd are weird ducks. I like Pt, have many Pt...
That is what is weird to me. To me, and I know everyone is definitely different, I would prefer the coin I got over this one. That is why I...
I looked for years at Biddr and just typed in "Julius". Got some other hits but would let me know which JC were up for auction at those firms. I...
I was actually wondering if the ancient market had weakened since the piece I got seems vastly underpriced. I like the other two lots as well. A 5...
I know the coin market can be confusing but I am still scratching my head about the NN auction yesterday. I won this QUITE a bit over what I...
