First, I would learn to grade silver proofs. Then, search out pricing for certified coins in the same grade, and try to buy below what those sell...
I don't think there's a provincial portrait of Julius Caesar. Some others might be missing as well.
Oh, good, that means I can guess. I had this one on my watch list for a while. Just never got around to pulling the trigger. Nice coin! I will...
Fixed price sale. I bought it at Long Beach.
Actual retail price... $600. @Lehigh96 was closest at $650. In hand, it's quite the stunner. It's less photogenic than its actual presence....
Any last guesses? Reveal coming in less than an hour....

The converse is also true. Some fairly common coins can be relatively expensive due to high demand. See, for instance, Athenian owl...

$750
I agree. I would consider this fake unless someone more knowledgeable than myself said otherwise. There might be a die match somewhere in the...
What grade? Raw or certified? Do I have 5 minutes to consult the internet?
Blatant AT.
Wear most definitely is special. It's one of a very small number of types of damage we tolerate before calling a coin a "problem coin."...
I don’t honestly believe that for a second. As it sits, I wouldn’t buy that coin for myself with your money, much less my own. The reverse toning...
You can post this picture of another coin as many times as you want, and it’s not going to change anyone’s mind. Since this is a $2000+ coin...
