He did, he said it was correctly attributed and looked genuine. I agree as well. Nice coin. Chris
Big if, as most small investors historically buy high sell low, over and over again. Small investors spend too much time listening to others and...
Nice piece. I am not as lucky as Doug and have only owned silver Venetians. I would love to pick up one like that someday.
I like the quadrans (C), and the little greek (E) as well. For $20 a piece I would also buy (I) Greek?, (A) the jital, and (J) simply because the...
Like Cloud said, what you posted could have been dated 1980 except the headlines then would have been worst. You ask what could be good? People...
I am pretty sure that is all sorts of illegal the way it is now. At a minimum doesn't it have to have the word COPY on it?
People think its easy to profit from PM increases being a coin collector. In reality it isn't because of what you say here. Collectors do not just...
I own some but would agree most Americans do not own gold coins or any type of 24 karat gold. Most US gold is low quality jewelry. Overseas it is...
Or better yet, post five ancient coins and have non ancient collectors sort them and compare versus what we would choose. Make it fair and have...
I agree the wear on the reverse is not commonly seen like that, but it might have been a weak strike there or a pocket piece. I completely agree...
Me too. I dug through some of what I own, (not all, I have way too many unattributed Romans and as a type these are common), and I was able to...
Agreed Doug. It is very hard to quantify exchange rates, even though many ask. How I came up with my estimation was the fact that a denarius was a...
I think it would be a good thing for a couple of reasons, one would be to lock in an image of the coin so it could not be resubmitted....
Dang I know I am "old" but didn't realize the articles I read about this "new" system was so old already. Good info. Just turned 42 the other...
Yeah I thought of that, that maybe they would buy a hovel. It is still misleading though, no? I mean, if you report in 1,000 years that $8,000...
While it is a valid concern about competition, (I learned my lesson about posting auctions Doug), collectors like to talk about their coins. That...
So just how many of any wheat cents, let alone S VDB's do you find in your change? :)
I believe common series do have some computer grading done already. They used to anyway, something like Morgans would get a pass under the...
Most early coin denominations were inherited from other units of value. I never read about it but I am sure a shekel was some other type of value,...
Temple taxes were only payable in half shekels of Tyre, no other coins. You could not even pay a shekel for two people, it had to be two half...
Separate names with a comma.
