I just posted my own antoninianus {two cents} opinion on this on the Heritage Platinum sale results. the thread is here:...
Thanks, it was a nice one for the time. There are {far} superior ones out there at far superior prices. Rather than upgrading it tho I've tried...
In retrospect there were two good pieces that sold cheaply out of Heritage's Pernamubana collection and a 3rd piece, also Brazilian: top grade...
I was in a similar situation. At least you bought your 1st $20 in 2018, 2 years before Covid and the price of gold went thru the roof. I should...
Thanks, it was bought around 1990 - 1992, well before the "Age of Slabbing". At least for non-US coins. I told Karl Stephens that I wanted a...
I've a few Baroque Era pieces. Actually, most of them have not been photographed as they didn't fit into my main collecting countries. My...

Thanks very much for the additional info talerman. I'll check various European auctions more carefully despite their lack of indexing. I also...
I think GC stands for "Great Collections". My experience with them is that they carry a lot of proof coins of a particular type I'm seeking....
Very interesting taler, Talerman. It seems the City/ region of Munster in far Western Germany was quite involved in Reformation/...
"On the entrance of Vespasian's troops into Rome, Vitellius' supporters (mostly civilians) organized heavy resistance, resulting in a brutal...
I'm fighting with the British Numismatic Guild over a problem I've had with Roma Numismatics. I won two Roman coins at one of their auctions,...
Very nice! That's an amazing coin for a 61. Often "60 and 61" coins are problem pieces or are actually AU's but this seems to be a genuinely...
Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for it --or another one.
I think I may have kept an eye out for Ed VI shillings and yours seems to be an exceptional example. I have a question for you. Is there any...
