I see that he charges a 15% buyer's fee. The VAuctions Terms of Sale are at https://www.vauctions.com/terms.asp. In terms of payment, at least...
Trying to sell his coin at auction and at a fixed price at the same time -- whichever is higher first.
The only reason I haven't bought anything from him lately is my concern about the delays in mail coming from Spain to the USA.
The two siliqua I own, issued by Julian II and Valens, weigh 2.2 and 2.0 grams, respectively. Neither shows any signs of having been clipped.
The seller on Ebay, Lucernae (located in Spain), is the same dealer who owns the coin that's being auctioned on VAuctions. (Note the title at the...
I just looked on acsearch and found these three examples from Trier with similar reverses -- in fact, I think that the first one, sold by...
Thanks. My original thought was that it might be a scroll. And then I decided that it seems to be shaped like a goblet, which of course could...
I didn't want to say anything either, but I know that if I had a typo like that I'd want someone to let me know!
Thank you. The object certainly isn't a hasta pura [bloodless spear], and if it's a cornucopiae, it seems to be very small for one, plus it isn't...
Nice coin. I have one example: Constantine I, Billon reduced Centenionalis, Trier Mint 330-331 AD. Obv. VRBS ROMA, helmeted bust of Roma left/...
PS: What is that object that Providentia is holding in her left hand, anyway? I haven't been able to find an identification anywhere.
@hotwheelsearl, your review confirms my instinct that buying uncleaned coins is not something for me! You may want to fix the typo under item #5,...
A coin I just bought recently. Roman Republic, Lucius Marcius Censorinus, AR Denarius, 82 BCE. Obv. Laureate head of Apollo right, traces of...
I'm rather shocked that someone paid $800 for that coin. Yes, it's in great condition, but CNG itself called it only "near" EF. Is it truly that...
Indeed. See my post a few above yours. Obviously, great minds think alike!
I forgot about adding all the possible different coins from the various officinae. Wildwinds tends to number them separately, but I don't think...
“The Holy Roman Empire was neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire.” Voltaire, 1756.
Couldn't one argue that in at least a few respects the Vatican is the successor of the Roman Empire? Pontifex Maximus and all that sort of thing?
Obviously it's impossible for some coins for which only a couple of examples are known, like the two of Silbannacus, unless one of these people...
I agree that it shouldn't be considered impatience. On the other hand, in the present situation, I might tend to give a dealer the benefit of the...
Separate names with a comma.
