Most look like me, a bald middle aged man who hasn't been on a stairmaster in over a decade. :(
Given what ancient collectors look like typically, (no offense anyone), I sure as heck WOULDN'T want to see one. :P
Hopefully they can find another site that will enable them to move the show back into early December. It was a nice vacation to see NYC in the...
I do. I have a 8/16/32 power stereo microscope I use.
Of course most ancients are not "all original". The only coins that could ever be collectible straight from the ground are gold coins. EVERYTHING...
I would be with Bill. Liang was a smaller kingdom with usually cruder coins. Knowing that I am more comfortable with them, though not an expert.
If you have a choice between Europe and US shows for ancients, go to European ones. Much larger. There is a huge one in Germany every year. Maybe...
Um, you do know sir do you not that brass will not harm a bronze coin. Brass is much softer than bronze, so the brass at worst will leave brassy...
What type of issues are they? If they are from a usurper or a smaller kingdom I wouldn't have a problem with them. The shen seems off for a major...
Yeah, I am due to go through my holdings in the SDB and check for reoccurences. I scrape what I can with something softer than bronze, then treat...

Having said that, there are alternatives. I think I pay 12 basis points for an S&P 500 index in my deferred comp program. Ridiculously high cost...
Like Ken said, just ignore each other. My blood pressure went down 20 points the one time I ignored someone on CT. Sometimes people just get on...
Weird. I just Googles Mamertines and came up with this article from Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamertines So I guess these idiots...
Sorry, @stevex6 , he has a thing for animal ancients it seems. I have never seen a prettier dog on an ancient coin. You would think they would be...
I have tried to buy these a few times before, and always get Clio'ed. This one was cheap on Ebay so figure why not: [ATTACH] Not the greatest,...
So, no, not my collecting area. I do not collect Greeks, I do not collect this city, or this island, this time period, or anything about this...
Lol, I am there with you. I have dealers who "only deal in cash" or ask me to make a check out to Cash, (they must be a relative of Johnny...
....I thought this topic would be about how to lower the humidity in my sdb. :(
