I cannot find the thread in the Ancients section to post my new acquisitions so I do it here. Post some pics of your coin please
WOOOOOW.....Manfred you just made my day and reinforced my strategy of buying at auctions where people don't know much about coins from other...
And an Ancient SELEUCID KINGDOM. Antiochus I Soter (281-261 BC). AR tetradrachm (17.11 gm). NGC Choice AU 4/5 - 4/5. Seleuceia on the Tigris...
I don't generally collect too many German coins but was looking at their overall performance on the recent HA auction. Many of them were very...
1707 Queen Anne Crown (Edinburgh Mint) VF35 [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
And with this Half Pond in AU53, I'm done with 1892 SA Ponds :) [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
That's quite strange as the Single Shaft version is much more rare and there are very few pieces in MS state. AU53 and AU58 coins sold at Heritage...

Nice to know someone who has seen the coin before it was slabbed. @dougsmit that is my problem with Ancients. One never knows the mintage...
You are so right....typo corrected :)
Last couple of days have been quite fruitful methinks. First I won an MS62 Australian 1862 Sydney Mint sovereign which is very scarce and shares...
Barry you are spot on. However, the grading did not mention cleaning, just XF 3 & 3 with edge scuff. Did you see the coin in person or are you...
Well.....the 1923 SA Proof sovereign has just been superseded by the 1892 Single Shaft in AU53 :D:D;) [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I've been after this...
