One time I bought a group with horrible pics on Ebay for $200 because I believed the man who said his wife got them from her uncle. The group went...
Great job. Narrow focus is still appropriate as well. Since I have been around longer I have several subsets going at any one time, but I...
I see absolutely no signs at all that coin is fake. You paid a good price for it, but not unheard of. I have bought similar for similar prices at...
I don't disagree at all. However, there is a difference. Someone who collects very nice examples is much more likely to see appreciation of...
Good uses, especially the last. I get them from odd lots I buy sometimes. I got one lot that had like 60 in there. I bought the lot for a few...
Btw, if its a provincial, its not properly termed a sestertius usually. This is because in the provinces they had their own coinage system. We do...
Great reply from Christian. If I were going to ship to NGC from SG I definitely would go through a dealer and let him worry about it.
I would have guessed 50k, I am probably not very far from it, (or maybe low).
Now THERE is a high dollar coin. I am surprised AncientJoe doesn't have one of those. :)

All coins deserve love. :) Great find of a scarce coin Gil.
Not really. I can buy all I wish for about $.50 a piece at the Hmong market here, along with draped bust dollars, trade dollars, french and...
Lol, I guess its perspective. Those look more "normal" to me than most other ancients posted. :) Btw, the Nezak issue I always hate how they...
Pretty coin. I would be interested too I guess since I also have coins just like that. Maybe it was so many were saved in manila envelopes at the...
Heck Anoob, you can do about every Sassanid ruler, all had unique hats until the end. My favorite hats have always been bashliks worn by early...
Thanks Gary. I guess I always heard Fisher translated Fu Bao, but left out the charms section, and only did the coins. That must have been wrong.
The hand is the most important part of the reverse. Its the first physical representation of God on a coin, (at least the Christian god). Very...
I always have loved the "hand of God" coins. I actually look for them whenever I am pawing through groups of LRB and buy any nice ones I find. IDK...
I agree. I think its safe to say all of us here appreciate aspects of PM investing. Maybe WHY we appreciate it, or maybe our PERCENT of...
Separate names with a comma.
