I understand, and I appreciated your post. I was simply pointing out some of the other civilizations who made coins in modern day Italy in between...
Isn't that a Maria Theresa restrike? If so the value is more like $20. I would pay $20 if I wanted the silver. Heck of a point Doug. Is toning...
Normally I always say caveat emptor. But, if this person was new to coin collecting and demonstrates that the prices charge to him were 50% above...
Young Numismatists (YN) covers collectors not just inexperienced, (who could be any age), but also below a certain age, (18 or 16), and therefor...
Agree. I do business with banks who will accept my change unsorted for free. I do it on principle, even though I may only take change in once a...
Agree completely with Conder. If Heritage opened up locations in other states they would have to collect in those states even if the buyer never...
You may very well be right, that the others I found were mostly grease filled dies. I was a kid and not a serious error collector so maybe they...
Very much agreed. I have seen many Sassanid coins declared fakes simply because of style. Remember always that the Persians ruled over a huge...

Much More reputable? From what I have seen ICG seems in line with their grades, sometimes better than NGC and PCGS. Are you saying ICG is a lower...
I know you wouldn't want them Doug for $30 Doug, and neither would I, but I agree with the dealer in his estimation of street value to an average...
Mark, I am sure there are many high end coins better served by coin auctions. The clientelle is different and probably have deeper pockets....
I would say you missed 1200 years of coinage. I own a coin minted in Rome under the Ostrogoths, probably the first "post Roman" coin minted in...
$219.80
I would say $40 because its nice color but I would have liked a higher grade or more even color. If that color was even I bet Lehigh would be all...
This. Also, having Ebay has enabled many more collectors to demand your goods. People hate on Ebay a lot, but should know that it is probably...
I will be a jerk and say that if "book" value is $110, I might say $130. It is not much toning, not terribly attractive, so I do not think there...
