Sear, ANACS, and ICG are probably still options.
Whoops, I was looking at the MS66 column. :p I’m gonna go with $250.
How much is the premium over face for a Roman denarius, or a Greek tetradrachm? ;)
Price guide for 1936-D PCGS MS66+ Buffalo nickel is $140, so I'm going to shoot a wild guess and say it's $140 * 1.2 = $168.
Fair point. It's really just a special case of "know the coin or know the dealer." I know that, of course; I just haven't run across an aes rude...
That's a very hard question to answer, as I'm sure you know. Step 1 would be to factor out movement in the metals market by basically subtracting...
If you're down to 700 now, how many did you start with?
This is a really good point I hadn't thought of. With the Gospels all being written 30-80 years after the Crucifixion, one has to wonder how much...
I'll say $150.
Yeah, it seems like every major auction has like 20 of them these days though. I'm not sure how many you'd see per auction pre-hoard, but that...
As a simple collector, I'm treating it as a buying opportunity. There are things affordable to me now that simply would not have been ~10 years...
George VI was my immediate thought as well.
Honestly, if we haven’t figured it out after 2000+ years, I don’t think we will ever know, unless some startling archaeological discoveries come...
The Y is fine, but look at ERT and VST. only the R has a vague hint of color change over it. The rest of it looks painted on.
I’m gonna go against the grain here and say I think the toning looks applied. It has that “oil slick” kind of look, and there’s little evidence of...
That’s how we got coins with nickel in them, after all. Good old American greed strikes again.
That’s an idea I somehow never considered. I think I might order some Eagle pages to replace my Lighthouse pages. I like the album and dislike the...
Nice! I, too, have wanted an aes rude or 2, but, as @red_spork said, it’s hard to find ones that seem right, and they look ridiculously easy to...
Right. I guess I didn’t ask the right question: what am I looking for here to distinguish it from porous surfaces due to casting?
IMO, on a sheer "ooh, that's pretty!" basis, #7 is the hands down winner.
Separate names with a comma.
