Well, I feel better. Finally got a letter from Frank. Got one of the two I bid on, the better one so I am happy. It's a nice aVF Class E anonymous...
Nothing wrong with getting what you like and attracts you. I buy certain coins I like, owning multiples. I just like 'em. :)
Not as severe as in US coins, but there always have been massive spikes because of condition in coins. Maybe hundreds exist in F, but 2 exist in...
I am sitting on my hands. I never liked to be rushed, and have bought quite a bit the last few years when no one wanted it. That is my comfort...
Details on that coin is much better than the second coin. The OP coin appears very sharp. You would need better pics, but might be worth much more...
I have always had them in US holdings. They were never recognized by other world governments, so I count them as insurrectionists, (no offence...
No problem. One thing I would say is you will never know what you don't know. You will never know if you didn't place ANY bid until the last...
Many nowadays do not have fees. I used to use snip.pl, which had a very low fee like 8 cents per successful auction. Effectively nothing. If its...
Of course not, but it sure beats tethered to a computer counting down an auction ending. I have better things to do than that for MOST auctions. :)
Many times you do not want to telegraph your interest in a lot. A lot of bidders will "nibble" at your bid, bidding it up to see if they can get...
A website you sign up for that will bid at whatever maximum you set with a few seconds to go. Auctions on Ebay effectively happen in 10 seconds....
use a bidding sniping service.
I wonder if they are going back through their records and issuing refunds to all of those who paid for it and did not receive the protection they...
Well, I am not a beginner. I would say you need more of an advanced expert on Ardashir types. I have been collecting Sassanian for 20 years....
Just to clarify, my concern is the shape of the crown. I do not remember the OP's coin's shape before. It looks like a volleyball was cut and...
Good info. Btw, am I "melodrama"? I would say 1985, 1990, 1995, 2005 are all good comps, and clearly shows your overall point that equities...
Silver will be weird for a while. What strong forces I see intersecting for silver: 1. Cheap money - eventually could chase assets increasing...
Here is what that kind of crown usually looks like: [ATTACH] I am not a huge collector of Ardashir. I focus more on some other timeframes of...
Its an Ardashir I issue. From the pic looks ok to me. I am not liking the top of the crown, but it could be the strike.
Like I have said many times before, if I were into US coins today I would be a EAC collector. I was a SL/Capped bust half collector before. I just...
