I bet you have met tons of dealers who bought at $12 levels though. I bet lots of silver was bought at $12 market levels, but none was sold.
I agree with this assessment. I wondered about the Cleo I bought, but what in Roma pics looked like roughness of the surface was actually pretty...
Its a nice type. I don't have it yet. I have three other Pharos types.
Yeah, this is good to, especially a late roman lot with some people like Constantine and Helena if possible. People that lay people may have heard of.
For a first ancient, I thing a nice second century ancient with someone like Trajan or Hadrian. Get a large copper coin. People love larger coins....
Wow, tough board. I stand by my assertion nothing looks terribly untoward on the coin. Low grade examples are numerous, having handled quite a few...

Better make them two drachms. Don't want the boatman to refuse use for being short of silver. :)

Just so others who read this may know, striking a coin is a fierce environment. It is nearly impossible for a coin to be struck on a planchet this...
Disability has nothing to do with age. I draw a disability pension from the VA from my service in the Gulf War and I am barely over 50. Want to go...
My lobby where the SDB is has appointments only, but you can only get one if you are 60 or older. So, I am locked out of my SDB right now.
Yes, I have done the same. The rep can let them know whom they are bidding for.
I don't mind, and could mail you the last couple actually. I dropped some money on the Cleo VII tet with them so I get them. Mail wasn't bad as...
I will mail you mine if you want it.
Pretty sure I got mine a while ago. Tough to consider major coin purchases when stocks so cheap. I know I am in minority, since I hear coins are...
The Twin Cities Ancient Coin Club meeting was cancelled for March, and I doubt it will be on for April.
I would agree. It was name of the Syrian sun god represented by the meteorite. I am also jealous of the coin type. :) I wish I had more pics of...
