It has absolutely been dipped, and has begun to retone. I think it is market acceptable (at either service). It will *not* get a CAC. The profuse...
Obviously, I can't speak for Doug (and really, we disagree far more often than not). However, in this case, I'll agree that for the most part the...
As in, the whole coin was cast, with the counterstamp already on it? That's weird.... What are you seeing in the photos that points to that...
Thanks! The rounded rims, weak strike, and die polish all do the same ;)
I would hope that the Newman portal would have an index, and be searchable. It is shaping up to be a valuable resource, but it also should be usable.
I think other traditional archaeological methods are probably more useful for dating coins.
1. Pictures, or it didn't happen. 2. Are you sure they are real? Have they been cleaned? You already said they are damaged, so that is going to...

I would argue that for a large number of collectors, $100 is a small fortune. Many collectors will never own a coin in the several hundred dollar...

Why do these have that concave mark? It doesn't seem like it would be difficult to reproduce the original punching method (although, I'm not...
I obviously can't speak about the market in Russia, but I have been observing a number of auctions for Russian coins (particularly Stacks,...
I don't collect a lot of ancients (although there are many that I think are really cool - and intend to add eventually). I mostly collect US...
This is an incredibly cool thread. That write-up and coin in the OP is AWESOME!
You can't beat Great Collections for service and convenience. I have used them to sell coins before. Their fees are lower, yes, but... The prices...
NGC has several type sets available. They have one that is super-intense, and they have one that is modeled off the 7070. For example, mine is...
There are many online dealers who have great inventory and good pictures. You could also go to Ebay. I would also look at some of the big auction...
Ha. Haha. Hahahaha. Hahahahahahahahaha. Yeah.......
If the price is commensurate with the ding on the forehead and the weak strike, that looks like an attractive slider.
I'm building my 7070 virtually on the NGC registry.... I don't have a physical copy.
