I went with the XF Details both due to the reverse porosity and the color which to my eyes looked a little too even for a circulated coin. Not my...
Plus, I would add the hoe money that came from Central America. Some was most likely Aztec, others may have been associated tribes. It appears...
Weird. It sure looks all of the world as a Sassanid imitation in a Turkish style. Maybe I just think about them too much. :) Cool coin.
I agree with all of you. :) Yeah, it can be offputting to be the only bidder. However, it can be offputting to win any auction. Think about it,...
Assur, great profile coin. Is it Turkish Central Asian? I don't recognize it as Hepthalite, (unless south Tokaristan) or Sogdian, (unless early...
Commemoratives are not illegal to melt. "Legal tender" only means its legal coinage that can be used to fulfill debts. Not shady at all.
Lurker is just someone who reads but never participates. A troll is someone who is mean or disagreeable simply to start an argument. An example...

My advice, if you do not wish to sell these on Ebay, would be to go to Central States with the coins and a complete list of contents. Show them to...
I would post who the seller is. I would be glad to add such a fine seller to my list that I look through.
Ok, I understand sir. So what do you think the game is? Trying to make a name for himself? Trying to expand his mailing list? Bait and switch?...
Exactly. All coins are subject to prior sale. There is an internet dealer who has "bargain lists" from time to time. On his last one I responded...
Yeah, I hear you. I have seen ancient copper cleaned so that the bare metal shows. It looks naked to me, too shiny. Even if ancient copper EXISTED...
I thought we all had our comments published here on CT? Gratz Mike. :)
Geez James, they are 60 cents face value alone! To OP, it depends on whom you are selling or buying from. "Normal" ebay prices would be around...
Good eye. The glossy hard green patina is probably the most sought after ancient patina there is for bronzes. While for some reason fairly common...
One, there are ALWAYS variations. I don't know of any though that lead to huge premiums. You will find quite an array of prices on ancient coins....
Looks like die cracks to me.
