"No matter, Berke has reached a status akin to a numismatic super hero.". I sure hope this is not right. Someone representing thieves trying to...
Not clear cut cleaning, most likely, but not for sure. However, remember it has always been OVERCLEANING, not cleaning, that should body bag a...
But what of 500 years of history of how ancient collectors have graded their coins? I have seen 100+ year old ancient coin catalogs and I agree...
My friend got a regular Ike, (most likely AU), and had one worn down in 3-4 years. Maybe he just rubbed on it more than normal. I have no idea. I...
What is a bigger shocker is the grade NGC put on this coin. MS? One, we do not have a MS grade in ancients. Secondly, that coin at BEST is VF to...
I agree there indeed is a market for low end coins. A friend of mine was ahead of his time I guess. He could have made some serious money. He...
Coin clubs are what you make of them. Usually they are on the backs of a few who care. Why not trying to care? Put together a presentation for the...
I would echo the other. The tremisses you posted IMHO is not worth nearly what the dealer is asking for it. I picked up one a few years ago for...
I am been accused of many things, but NOT having a Large bag of ancient coins, (or any coins for that matter), is not one of them. :D
Well that window is closed. What happened was I "accidentally" bought about 500 LRBs. My wife was in the car so she asked if I was going to sell...
Yeah, sorry JWT. My infamous "wife hoard" who remembered I promised to sell off the "excess". Dang wife. :(
They are all good to me. I actually find provincials generally more interesting than imperial issues. I really like Roman Egypt, but everyone...
I may one of the last you will be able to wriggle one away from unfortunately. @Mat did it once, and @Kentucky, but it does not happen often. I...
Thanks @TIF ! Yeah, not idea why they posted that way. They looked correct in MS Paint. Yeah, um, that is my level of photo editing, MS Paint. :(...
Here are a few photographs of a couple of them. I know, my photography skills suck. :( [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I just got a group lot of early Roman copper imperials. For some reason these large chunks of copper, (bronze and brass), just make me feel good....
Very nice coins all. Nothing in coins is as difficult as to photograph a shiny coin with toning. Even large auction firms have difficulty. I won a...
Lol, though if she showed up looking like she does on the reverse I don't think you would be laughing. ;)
After my last little incident maybe my opinion of genuineness is not terribly important, but right off the top coins 2, 4, and 5 all having mushy...
I think your group is indicative of an advanced collecting bent Doug. Anyone can write a check or follow a list of emperors. I think its advanced...
