I hope this guy was a lover of reading who was buried with his library!
Hey, baby steps. At least they no longer confuse Caracalla and Elagabalus.
No question at all, they're getting worse and worse in their efforts to cater to the telemarketers. I know for a fact that isn't Vagi's doing; he...
This point should be stressed in any discussions about slabbed ancients. US collectors dipping their toes in ancient waters assume NGC guarantees...
I spent over an hour on the phone with David Vagi last year, talking about this. David stressed two main points. The first was that a lot of...
The Carisius is really tough to find nice. Trust me TIF, I've seen a lot worse than yours, which at least has nice toning and is quite well struck...
I'm pretty fond of the MAT victoriatus I just won from CNG. Besides that, as Carthago already knows, I'm pretty pleased with some stuff I won at...

I'm really interested to see what happens too. I don't see how my paper can simply be ignored by dealers and collectors who strive to keep up on...
as are we all...
If it's possible to be completely confident of authenticity (which in this case is a VERY big if--it may indeed not be possible,) there absolutely...

For perspective, this brought 1000 euro + commission in 2014: [ATTACH]
I meant more that there will be ample chances for really attractive and choice RR silver in general. You're right about this exact type and this...
That's what I encountered when I was collecting RR silver imitations. They're all individually rare, but only the visually cool ones were...
Well, I do have a fair number of coins, so I pass on a lot of really 1st rate pieces because I've no reason to acquire another example of the...
1st rate examples of the type bring strong prices. This one--very nice but clearly inferior--hammered at 3500 CHF at NAC in 2011: [IMG] I was at...
I bought a coin. Auction prices aren't always cheaper, lol, but it's very nice and very rare. I was the underbidder to RBW in Triton I; I wasn't...
An eagle: [ATTACH] and a mushy owl (if you squint just right it even looks like one:) [ATTACH] I think it's illegal to eat these.
