I won this 10 taels sycee salt tax ingot in 2005, during the New York International Coin Fair auction conducted by Ponterio and Associates, Sale...
And that's the challenge. I would need to find a contact with the estate, and that's no easy task.
Thanks! I hope to have more Roman coins to share with CT members next year.
A nice stater and denarius. I sold my Boeotia stater many years ago and never replaced it.
I agree. Unless you're a high roller, willing to pay the price for a high end coin that you're not familiar with, out of sheer impulse, comfort...
I normally post threads on the ancients, and, to a lesser degree, world forum sites. However, I decided to post on this forum a silver medal that...
I really don't think of coins being out of my comfort zone, unless we're talking about a coin whose high valuation, and known record of fakes, as...
And I think that is why the tetradrachms of the Ptolematic kings are very similar. They stuck with a design familiar to merchants and the general...
Cool Hadrian tetradrachms, Donna. I wasn't aware that there was one with a mummy on the reverse, but I guess I was just too wrapped up in things...
Like your coin, this coin that I purchased, and awaiting delivery (a long-term prospect currently), also came from Sardes, a bit later than your...
Cool! Here's a trilobite from Morocco, that I think is a Cheirurus Gibbus, Devonian. [ATTACH]
Nice tetradrachm! It's well centered, generally and with nice die work on the reverse. I would grade it a good VF.
Wonderful coins!. The denarii are particularly nice, and the patina on the Marc Anthony AE 24 is beautiful.
I did purchase some large lots of Byzantine folles and other denominations, which average around $12.00 per coin or less, in terms of a single...
Thanks again.
No, this coin was slabbed without weight noted. I think NGC offers a lower cost slab without this information and their surface/strike grading,...
Regarding the second inquiry posted today, yes, please start a new thread. Tacking it onto this old one won't be very effective.
Very nice! I notice differences in the treatment of design elements between the two coins, such as hair style and throne. Both are Cohen 123...
Nice sestertius, Doug. Yes, I've seen this type of reverse on sestertii of Julia Domna. The denarius was one of four offered for $90 on eBay,...
Thanks
