Nobody can really argue with anyone’s definition of their own type set, but I’m trying to be realistic and limit mine according to my budget. I’ve...
I'll say $225. Nice, but not amazing toning, with a neat pedigree.
Solid group of Antonines, @Limes! Kinda funny to call them "adoptions" :) That denarius is a very popular one due to having AP and MA on it....
Of course seeing it in hand makes a difference. There's a reason graders handle the actual coins and not just photos of them! As I said before,...
VG10, possibly details (cleaned).
Gaming counter would be my guess as well. I wouldn't even say it's deceptive enough to call it a fake.
Let's just say that based on the available photos, I don't feel bad about my guess of 65. Of course, the coin is the coin, not a photo, so I may...
Hah, whoops. This should say 'bare head right' and RIC III 1a! I never noticed my tag was wrong until just now.
Great write up! Here's my Diana coin: [ATTACH] ANTONINUS PIUS, AR denarius, 18 mm, 3.01g Obverse: IMP CAES AEL ANTONINVS AVG, laureate head...
I agree with pretty much everything you said here, except that pretty much nothing gets a perfect 10 IMO. ;)
Any flaw I can find with this coin is basically nitpicking. You have a nice coin with excellent centering and some honest wear. If it were mine,...

64 with just the big pictures, but I upped it to 65 after seeing the full slab shots. I think lighting wasn't kind to this one in the bigger photos.
I guessed MS65. I feel pretty good about that because it did get graded MS64+ at least once. As @messydesk said, this is a pretty common...
I’d call most pure bullion stuff (silver rounds, gold bars and such, not bullion coins) exonumia. As such, I’d say you can post that stuff...
Nice collection. 20 coins is a pretty decent place to stop and reevaluate your direction. I could easily see you going in a number of directions:...
Hmm, I whiffed this one, but I guessed 65, and it looks like the consensus was 65. I guess I should start buying NGC Barber quarters and crossing...
@johnmilton: this is a gorgeous coin, and one I would own if I were going to only own one Augustus coin. Gorgeous style, nice condition, stellar...
Initial impression: 65, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it actually at 64.
I can’t really tell, and even if I could, I’d probably release it back into the wild to live out it’s dats.
