I agree with the mystery of the 7th century and why they allowed mint standards to get abysmally low. I believe the nadir was Constans II. You...
Since AU/MS is not an ancient grade, I am not sure what condition the coin was in. For a XF she wolf, I would think $40 is about right, but only...
I doubt the vendor can tell you much. He does not know if the package will be bent in exactly the wrong spot during shipment. Maybe just ask him...
Nah, don't be embarrassed man. I love you posted yours. Its a great lesson for new collectors of what different types of coins are. Most newer...
Yours is a different animal though Steve. I love your coins. Yours are two coins in one. The host coin, and then a new mark made years later to...
I do not see anything suspicious either. However, its extremely easy to take a coin and apply a "desert patina". I won't go into it online, but I...
Boy, if the error collectors ever move into ancient numismatics Doug and I are going to make a gold mine, huh? :D Nowadays I find myself avoiding...
Cool coin. I would just check the coin when it arrives. I hope that crack does not run due to stress of the mail. I have had a couple of coins...

I was fortunate enough to be able to buy from a long time metal detectorist who search in Britain for over 40 years recently. I picked out 5 very...
I just bought one not quite as nice as this for like $70. So, yeah, a few on the market lately.
My biggest problem is not Pecunem today, it was forgetting my password while trying to bid from my phone in Roma yesterday. I was thinking of...
I saw the cartoon link of Justinian and Theodora. She was an exceptional woman and exceptionally devoted wife. She has a very famous quote about...
Of course we cannot say for sure, but it's happened 100% of the time the last 40 years, so pretty sure. Not until new cheap supply comes onto the...
I agree earlier world coins, just like early US coins, are simply filled with varieties most collectors will never know about. US coins have been...
I agree, which is exactly the opposite of what it should be. Small investor sentiment is weird, its always chasing what is "hot". Long term...
Maybe the experts say it's not true but I removed about ten glass windows from a 1840's farmhouse. Every single one had much thinner glass at the...
Separate names with a comma.
