The problem I see is that @Lehigh96 assumes that NGC has a set standard, when in fact they don't. I have seen MS-66 coins in MS-64 slabs and vice...
You didn't just happen to buy this coin from a dealer in North Carolina did you? That coin looks familiar. :)
Ancient coins don't need to be slabbed to be appreciated, while US coins almost have to be slabbed. Very few people would pay MS-65 (and...
Reputable European dealers. Plus both are die matches to known authentic coins. My point was that collectors of ancients don't need fancy...
Yours really takes the cake. :)
Those books look really interesting.

If most of my bids were winners, then I'd have a lot of bargains. I'm a cheapskate. :)
I know what die varieties are. I was just not able to spot anything significant about the coins posted (RPD, DDO, RPM, 7TF, etc.). Apparently the...
I have done this also, but the auction house helped by placing the lot in a strange position that was a couple hundred lots away from similar...
I am feeling the opposite trend. Ancient Chinese coins are actually going up in value, particularly those with a good provenance. Prices have...
I like that coin @stevex6. Very choice surfaces and a simple, yet bold design. Here is my only horsey. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Since you like washers...
Based on what @Morgandude11 told me in my AU Morgan threads, this coin is no higher than AU-53.
That's how my type set works. I buy the most amount of detail I can afford, though I try to stay away from cleaned coins. Holes, scratches, rim...
There isn't any of this drama over in the ancients forum. :happy: No nitpicky grades, no competing in registry sets, no being anal about actually...
