Wwe have discussed this here before. Personally, I find it depends on the civilization/area of the world. In Europe, traditionally the cutoff if...
Here is an article on these at NumisWiki: https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=anonymous%20follis The coin I wanted out of...
They are early October and late March. The fall show is called the MOON show, the spring one called Northwest Coin Club show. Let me know and I...
Thinking about this coin, it's exactly what drove me from US collecting. This coin would be slabbed Unc. However, it looks like this. This is why...
The dog is actually an interesting play. I expect good things for Vietnam as China's wages are forced to rise.
I will wait until a few others might wish to chime in, but I will say there is one in there in pretty exceptional condition for the issue, but its...
Oh, ok sir. Hard to tell from photos. Man, that should have been classified as rework at the mint. It is brutal their QC didn't catch that. I...
Btw Steve, I was hoping you would post here. The next lot AFTER this coin was a Stephen coin, also of Constantine VII, also the earliest depiction...
Are you sure some of that is not PMD from mechanical sorters or something? I agree the coin is weakly struck, but look at all of the marks in the...
My Vitellius looks like everyone else's here, (save for IOM of course). They sure must have circulated for long after his rule, since I find most...
I am just wondering how much could be the lighting? This is why I hate making such judgments on the internet, how a coin is lit and photographed...
So here was my other surprise from the auction today. Let's see how many people can read my mind, (I am pretty transparent). Which coin did I care...
Yeah, you get very low and price books are irrelevant. Basically you are paying a dealer hassle price. I am guessing you can buy them in pick...
Affect on PM? Why? Small localized war not affecting major gold producing or gold buying areas. Heck, there are ten other wars going on around the...
Well, here is it: [ATTACH] Not much to look at for some, but by gosh I wanted it. I have the gold version, but this is the silver miliresion of...
Good point. I get that affliction as well. You see the starting bid, and the price its currently at, and somehow that lower price gets locked in...
Nice coins, but above my price range for a coin. I have one or two I would pull the trigger around $10k, but not that high. I do know the feeling...
It was always confusing to me too. In hand you do see a difference in the fields and frosting, but as a US collector you are conditioned that...
Seated quarters? Good gosh, talk about a glutton for punishment. Pretty coins, but like 10 just brutal coins. I looked at them, but settled on...
Its ok. I used to know most of the by heart, (not stuff when it got into the tens of millions or gold though). I don't anymore. I just remember...
Separate names with a comma.
