I believe it is long overdue as well. What do you think would happen? Would they simply stop making new cents and redesign the nickel? Maybe a...
Sorry to take the thread OT, but how much value was the first ERIC for a collector? I mean, I own RIC and RCBM and others, how much would I get...
Since there is such a disparity of opinion, maybe that is why I have disagreed with others about how they can from a photo easily say something is...
Yup, same here. I would pay about $80 for rainbow toned XF/AU SL halves, same coin "dipped" white would be $100 at least. Bust halves toned XF/AU...
Fair enough Doug, but the vast majority of collectors do follow the same guidelines as to attribution. I do not see many "late Roman" listed as...
It is pretty toning though, and I would say its natural. If buying it on Ebay saves you a 10 mile trip to the local coin store its worth it,...
So I have a serious question. What actually constitutes AT versus NT? I know the extremes, but lets say I took some coins and put them in one of...
The three stereotypes I have heard, and you have to admit they are true somewhat, is the old fat white man, the "hustler" of a dealer just making...

You state you are just a farmer, but then keep on hanging on "expressed warranty" the dealer makes when he puts his opinion of grade on a coin. An...
Great thread, I am glad a a new person here others bumped it. Excellent overview, though like others have said each of these levels need to be...
Well all price guides are troublesome. Krause is just a little more troublesome since they are priced by dealers who have their own interests...
The blank reverse may be a trial, but I have seen many fakes with blank reverses. I would need quite a bit of convincing before I accepted such a...
So I have a question. What would be considered the first European "Dark Age" coin? I have a 40 nummi minted in Rome under the Ostrogoths about...
I think this is another example of the extreme dangers of people trying to price off of the internet. I get it all the time, people not paying...
That did it. Thanks RLM.
I have a question, but maybe I am just a noob. :( About 2 days ago my screen when looking at forum posts is about 5,000 characters wide. Is there...
"Error" coins in ancient numismatics is not really the same as modern. In modern coinage, "mostly" perfection is the norm, so errors are rare. In...
