Just snagged the below at the FUN show in Florida Jan 5th-8th. A tetradrachm featuring Marc Anthony on the reverse side. I believe this is dated...
Was a surprisingly FUN show. Even met a CT member & had dinner both nites w/ other collectors. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Even was wrong about "Not...
Yes I know. Unfortunately I did not buy a very high end Julius Aes at the time. As mentioned I recall a price of $950. for the piece. Unlike...
Well not exactly a famous collection but I could use some help in this attribution. My Julius Caesar bronze Aes is ex-NFA {Numismatic Fine Arts}....
Finally I found it: my oldest shilling. Originally in my lower-end box then moved to the sd box for some reason. Eliz-I, hammered shilling,...
Very pretty 1915 half. Looks high grade unc from the picture. Isn't this type of item normally slabbed? Of course if it's in a 1st gen holder &...
I guess it's based on Littleton Stamp & Coin; a totally legitimate outfit based in Littleton, NH. It opened in 1945. [ATTACH]
Thanks very much for this info! I agree, the latter Roma Provenances "From a private European collection" are essentially worthless. It does...
Unfortunately I can't find the "E" on the 1644 half crown you mentioned. The "ox" below the date stands for Oxford I presume?
I've never slabbed many of my things unless they were being sold. For example I've an 1889-s Liberty $10 in what I & a Heritage numismatist...
That is completely true. This happened to me when my flight was delayed and I arrived at a major show at noon the day BEFORE it was slated to...
That's an extremely nice Trade dollar. 1873-S is also a very good year for these. I'd be happy with a more common 1873-P. It seems to be an...
I think this may not be accurate. While it's possible for any coin to be sold at a minor auction and sell cheaply unnoticed, I think a VF...
Finally, some of the earlier sunface types. I'll post a couple of mine, not quite as early but very rare issues that are not found frequently....
I wonder how much of the path of the Civil War you could illustrate with these pieces? I don't see any siege pieces so I'm guessing not into 1645...
I Just booked Hotel and travel so I guess I'm going. Note that often Dealers pack up early so getting there Friday or Thursday would be...
That's interesting. I talked with the head of the ANS earlier this year and mentioned my concern about bringing some very rare Roman bronze coins...
Here's the link: It used to be a top Google hit last week but not anymore....
Thanks for your detailed reply Stork. It's a recent CoinWeek article. I'll link to it when I get home later today. I'll also see if CoinWeek...
Some collectors of World that I correspond with are advising me to go to FUN, in Florida rather than the NYICS. -- for World Coinage. They say...
