It's a nice find! Even counting bulk lots, I have very few AE Ant's of Gallienus. Most of my coins are either Sestertii or 'AR' Ant's from...
Yes. I'm a bit concerned that the big, stupid SEGS slab might make the coin harder to see, but we'll cross those bridges when we get there. If...
After spending a lot on home repairs, I think it would be best for my pocketbook if I don't do a heavy buy this time. It would be the perfect time...
That's a really terrible fake. Even I could see it was a fake, and I know virtually nothing about U.S. coins.
The JC dupondius (no portrait of him) also comes up infrequently at an affordable price.
The full one is also very handsome, as well.
Oh, well, if the ding is ancient, winner, winner, chicken dinner. You got a good one, edteach. That particular ding would not bother me, either....
Neat! [ATTACH] Vologases VI - 208-222 - AR Drachm - 20mm, 3.14g Here's a find patina, as toned as one can get.
The rim ding one (minus the rim ding), is about the quality of my 1990's example, currently the best Caligula I have. One wonders if the rim ding...
If you're willing to take a half a coin (halved in ancient times), one will hardly find one cheaper than this....
Probably the Thessalonica small AE or the 'heavy dupondius' of Octavian from Brundisium{?}. Warning, there are ancient imitations of the heavy...
Yes, that wasn't the SEGS slab which I referenced, just shown for the general type of toning I was looking for. I don't have a price guide, not...
Oops, forget about electric blue. I must have conflated ANACS. I believe this one has the standard label....
Per ancients, I found one mention on numisforums. I swear I saw some relatively recent posts of some really crummy, common late Roman bronzes,...
The one I'm looking at has an electric blue label. We shall see. It all depends if I am more influenced by the gold. I hope my first Morgan buy...
There's hardly anything too exciting in mind for my upcoming regular buy. If I don't go for a budget gold coin, I might just take the Morgan...
In my quest to find one Morgan dollar, I was trawling the vcoins' listings. I never heard of SEGS, but the particular one I was looking at was...
Here's some advice: keep what you have! You'll probably regret it if you get rid of it, and then want it back later.
I didn't know they were still around. Is that the same company which also offered some really cruddy ancients, back in the 1970's?
Is that a centenionalis? Or a copper core of a solidus imitation? It doesn't look much like gold.
