So here is the coin. I think its pretty clean, and I cannot see any luster breaks, but like I said I don't have a ton of experience with US gold....
Mineral rights pertain to geologic minerals. I do not believe they would apply to lost property, unless that lost property is silver ore. At least...
Yeah, I remember St Gaudens were still $600 or so even when gold was $300. The $10 indian still was around $500 not tracking goold at all.
Ptolemaic style coins can be tricky. Most people make the assumption you did in attributing by style. Always remember Ptolemaic Egypt invaded the...
It was a pretty good fake. This series is known to have some pretty convincing fakes.
I might be totally wrong, but I am not liking the style. Its not that its high grade, its the style somehow that is making me nervous.
Anyone seeing this coin, and thinking it just looks like a glob of squiggly lines, should look at a Sassanian coin. This is a derivative of those,...
Thanks Dionysus. Man, SS sure looks like Serapis. I posted that Agathadeamon coin a month ago, looking a lot like that.
Well I am posting this in the bullion section for a reason. I wanted gold, but also like the secondary play of numismatic. Plus, I simply think...

We have to be the only site on the entire internet where this is what is meant......

Looks like a Serapis issue. He is the right figure on the obverse, with the emperor facing him. Many 3rd century emperors issued the type....
Lol. I dare not have a female dealer. My wife hates coin dealers enough as it is!
Agreed. Buying from someone who appears to be honest like this pawn shop, but not knowledgable, can be dangerous. Even posting pics cannot be...
We can agree to disagree. I simply find the premium for the word "key" to be exceedingly strong in US numismatics. I have had in my hand all ATB 5...
Yes, that is the extreme danger in my mind. Politicians NEVER let go of a tax, and I simply refuse to give them a national sales tax no matter...
I agree. I would preface this though to say we do not know what MANY denominations were, especially Roman Provincial. We do know the names of many...
Ok. Get back to me with that thought if we ever have a lower mintage in that series. I simply believe its a case the Hawaii issue got the...
Looking like China right now, isn't it? ;)
