Most of these coins have been cleaned. This one should be straight graded, I have seen much worst not detail graded.
Better than average example. These are also known with rhino left and rhino right. I believe I own about 3 of each direction, so not sure if one...
One of my favorite coins. Rhinos are really rare on ancient coins, with only two main types known, the Domitian quadrans and the Trajan...
I thought they just opened it and it was not.
I agree, especially with your legal tender post. In fact, coinage used to be very limited even for legal tender. I am not sure if they still are...
Question: Where do all of you believe Late Roman coins begin? I was just wondering. I have seen some start with the tetrarchy, others with a...
This "reattribution" is highly suspect by many serious researchers TBH. It is only from one, not so well respected, book. I collect coins of hers,...
One of my subcollections is sogdian, so F is a goal, not a settle for grade. Depends on what you collect and your budget really.
Really, any coin the general public knows would be candidates: 1. Cleopatra VII 2. Julius Caesar 3. Shekels of Tyre 4. Athenian Owls etc. The...
I agree. Terrific to have you here with your enthusiasm @Shrews1994 . A lot of us old men have seen it/done it all.
It is one of the "biggies" due to the mistake US numismitists made like 180 years ago. Coins should only be judged based upon a percentage of...
Hmm, pm would be much lower than my collection and books I imagine. I guess collection and books around 10%, and PM around 5%, (maybe less)....
Wow, not only doubled, but a rare 1955 D Proof 70! That must count for something [sarcasm off].
I agree with Fred, (though he is an expert and I am not, so listen to him instead of me anyway). If it would have been all copper instead of...
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I first thought of Henning(?) nickels, nickels a counterfeiter made using WWII dates. However, those would not look...
I agree diamonds are a very poor candidate for a currency. Not divisible readily and not fungible. However, a major point of item number 2 is...
Yeah, black is a fairly common condition for nickels unfortunately. Go to any coin show and you can always find clack shield or V nickels.
Too many variable really. Best advice I would have is to build up your knowledge. Maybe check out sold items at Heritage and begin to learn why...
Yeah, this is the thing. Most PM believers are PM believers. Most never cash out when it spikes higher. The only thing I did was liquidate some...
While we all know how us feel about this man and his actions, it reaffirms the need to educate yourself about coins and not simply rely on the...
Separate names with a comma.
