I agree with Willie, Roman Republican denarius. Looks harshly cleaned by your photos, but otherwise looks ok. Its a scarcer coin, and well...
I agree with other posters here. The prices listed on the respective sites has more to do with how THEY interpret coin prices than differences in...
Bah, a set is what you consider a set. Too much forced collecting in US collecting. Buy what you consider to be a complete set, and feel free to...
Ebay is a good source too. I have gotten half filled Mexican minor folders, and many other nice folders there of unfinished collections.
It depends on if you think you trust the dealer. Considering this is a common ploy on Ebay I would pay for what you can see and assume the rest is...
You are right, it could just be the double struck nature of the face, coupled with the not so great style of the nose, and the highlighting on it...
At first glance it looks good, the only thing that looks unusual a little is the nose. You can see the face was double struck, that is not it, its...
While I believe the speculation quote is true, it comes off badly since most people have a narrow definition of speculation. Any type of purchase...
I agree with others here. Argentina and all of South America have some interesting and beautiful coins. I would say Mexico is in that league as...

That coin will never be bullion gbroke. Its a nice, honest wear, very historically interesting type coin that most US collectors would be pleased...
I agree with others. One, with sniping so prevalent you will never know until the end. I have not bought anything on Ebay without a snipe in...
The reason that later on anonymous became scarcer is that the moneyers realize how great the self promotion could be to their careers. Imagine...
let me guess, Stainless, an Antony galley?
Well it is damaged man, look at all of that ugly color! :)
Yes, it should and in a perfect world would be. You know as well as I though that if someone bought silver at $40 and it declined to $30 they...
Seems very arbitrary and somewhat spiteful to me. This is an aspect of US grading I just hate, differentiation of WHY a coin is lower grade. WHY...
"Junk" is really meaning no numismatic premium. It was most commonly used on crummy, low grade or damaged coins. Its only as silver has risen that...
Yeah, Rome was well done. While I didn't like the plot direction as much on the second season, its a real shame they stopped producing the series....
