Cool piece. I've always wanted one.
Lead is notoriously difficult to authenticate because it artificially aging is very convincing.
It might also depend on the consignment terms. It might say it could take however long and that they cannot be withdrawn until such and such a time.
Would these coins retail for at least $100 each?
I've consigned to Joe at Forvm and I've heard good things from others who have done the same. It took about a month to get them posted since he is...
It's a decent example. I could see it going for $100 give or take $20. Maybe the symbols above the prow indicate it is a rare variety.

Thank you, TIF, I'm glad you're enjoying it so far and appreciate the amount of work that went into it. Virtually every word of that text was...
Maybe, but I've won lots of coins at fractions of my max bid. The MFB I won yesterday for $125 had a $350 max, for example.
Nice one! I just read a draft of a book on late Roman bronzes that gave me a whole new perspective on what I thought were generally uninteresting...
I love these types, even without the countermark. They are usually well preserved, have awesome highlights, and lengthy inscriptions that are...
That's a nice one! I use MSP I, 338, when referring to coins in sections other than their own throughout the catalog.
From common to extremely rare for the bronzes. The least I've spent is $13, I think, and the most $1900 (so far). But I search day and night for...
Gela has no bronzes with the man-faced bull except for the countermark stamped on an Akragas under type.
Neapolis. I'm not with the catalog right now so I'm not sure the exact location (probably between 306 and 308), but it is a quarter unit, c....
[ATTACH] I have this one too, which I really want to read up on, and which desperately needs a new photograph! AE 20, 4.23g, Septimius Severus &...
One of my few coins of this emperor. One day I'd like to have a nice collection of denarii. [ATTACH]
