I'm handy with Corel Photo Paint and if you want I could alter the date of your avatar: the 1794 half cent to make it read 1793?
It's almost enough to make me look at all those SMS and proof sets I bought from non-collectors in the early 1970's to see if any of the pieces...
Very nice coin, I should mention that I bid a lot more than 500 euro for high grade Roman gold and never get anything. In fact I bid a whole lot...
For some reason ancients seem to be extremely hot this year at the NYICS. I saw a sestersius or two that I liked and doubled previous auction...
This past friday, 12/14/18, when I went to the bank they had some silver half dollars. This was a slight dilemma as I normally only collect...
Rarely have I gotten a coin from Ebay that I did not return. The reason was always grading or undisclosed damage. My guess is that with...
Here's one of mine. I don't think I paid much more than the current Ebay price for the NGC-53 graded specimen in the OP (I recall about 2x the...
Thanks, but Aes Graves, and ancient bronze coins in general, are not popular with those who like small, portable, & expensive items. Thus for...
Really I should wait until I have the piece in hand and take my own nice photo like the other ancient collectors but I just won this piece at...
Thanks everybody for your comments which were quite helpful and in the correct direction. But alas I did not win the coin, and it sold for a very...
Exactly! I myself was going to suggest a "box dollar" filled with dynamite or TNT but then I saw he was receiving the coin and not giving it out...
Well maybe they have evidence Abe Lincoln had it when he was a young lawyer or something. I'm going to have to look in my box of stuff for old...
I think the Brazilians are preoccupied with their Presidential elections at the moment & haven't replied back to me. I'll try some new ones.
Thanks very much for all the input you guys. This is a type I've been looking for a while and while the horn silver is not nice, it may not...
I don't know about that; in ancient Roman times some were kept as pets -- well kept anyway. In any event keeping one on a chain in the backyard...
I've been looking for a certain Roman period ancient silver coin for some time. They're not super rare, but not super desireable so it tends to...
The company is ex-numis.com I haven't had good results with them. I submitted photos of 10 ancient coins; some of which were a little higher end...
Wow straight XF40? I collect foreign so I'm used to seeing how very critical NGC is of foreign coins made in the 1600 and 1700's: even marking...
Well from the quality of photos it's hard to tell. Normally an 1810 in this grade would be worth $80 or so. However if it is an 1810/ 09, then...
Looks very nice. However, I'd wonder about any mint state Seated Quarter being sold raw these days. Appears to be a very nice grade from the...
