Nothing wrong in the least there. I have done the same. Blaubart i am with you. I hate those hotel buyers who lie, but i cannot save the world....
I would have a problem with it. Why there? Its because that dealer has spent money running a business, advertising, etc. Nothing is stopping you...
But the customer could have just as easily asked the dealer and not risk him getting mad at him. If a dealer sees someone poaching outside his...
Yes it can, but I have found that if you are quiet about it and never interrupt a deal, it can be done. If you happen to overhear an offer, and...
Tabaristan is interesting. Did you know coins from Tabaristan are basically historical proof of how the Sassanid empire fell? They were issued by...
I am a cpa, but no this is not formal advice. 1. Yes it could be construed as a loss to offset other gains. How do you prove the sale of the...
Why not? is not the greysheet a compilation of ALL sales? Just like the greysheet averages out the sales prices for high and low end 65's, I would...

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. :)
That is a bad practice. Never add grading fees into any coin value. Its simply not true. Grading fees are sunk costs, and irrelavejt to pricing.
Actually, the bashlik issues are either from Arsaces, Arsaces II, or "Phriapates to Mithradates". I got this one pretty reasonably. This is one of...
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...
