Not a fan of the Cleo VII theory. Everyone, since she is so famous today, tries to associate coins with her. Not without sound archeological or...
CILICIA, Anazarbus. Valerian I. AD 253-260. Æ (27mm, 14.59 g, 6h). Dated CY 272 (AD 253/4). Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / Dionysus,...
Muwhahahaha, I will drag you yet to the dark, dark side of ancient group lots! Cool score. I find such pieces much more interesting when you have...
Ok, I thought it was interesting the animals depicted, while clearly being what we would call a leopard, was labelled Panther, just like your...
As always, wait for some other opinions here sir. Its a special coin. Very low mintage, but priced barely above the common Rays issue of 1866. I...
I have a special affinity for that coin, I love 67 rays nickels for some reason. However, I would say cleaned or overdipped. Many of these turned...
I was thinking black panther. Actually, I think it shows this, a legendary panther associated with Dionysus:...
I don't have one of these, but read quite a bit about Dionysus/panther connection. One of the rare nickle issues from Bactria depict...
Makes a person feel better. I could not see much of the fake, just that it was too red but was a DD, (purportedly). Good thing the good fake coin...
Hmmm, there are always dream coins like a $50 octagonal slug for US coins, or a gold octodrachm from Egypt. On a more realistic scale, I have...
If anyone is interested, I called Whitman and they said one author passed away but they are still discussing whether to print this title (Vol III).
If I answer the OP question vanilla, (no reverse mortgage, but smart idea), then no. No one coin could fulfill my collecting bug. I don't care if...
Wow. Darken the first one up a little and how would anyone tell? If I bought slabbed US coins, it would scare the bejesus out of me. :( Maybe in...
Just a few questions @calcol , if there is something like metal to prevent a SDB from being read, (security concern), wouldn't the same prevent a...
I tend to buy colonials in PMG or PCGS, (mostly PMG). I buy the note, so do not care what the grade is from the TPG, but since the types of notes...
Maybe part of the hobby. Those parts not needing TPG might benefit. I agree it's a major concern. I have seen the better fakes, and entombed in...
Photographs can be tricky. I see gouges, yet when I cross my eyes a little I see them raised. I think you can see either in the photo based upon...
Nvm
Where did you purchase it? I would start there. Dealers usually are more open to buy from customers they sold to.
Lol I am there too. I have "profit" in my pm purchases, but I want the coins/pm more than I want the money. Now, if it spiked very high I MAY be...
