Trying to predict the future is very difficult. I recently bid on a Roman solidus of my first name "John" (act. Johannes) which previously sold...
Wow, a very nice Max half Peso. These used to be quite expensive some years ago: more than the Pesos if I recall. Also has nice toning as well...
I also have no knowledge of these but how did you get 300 reis? A Brazilian 2000 reis was issued at this time and was of the same size and...
Speaking of crowns, I regret not being able to go for that 1804 Bank dollar in the Stack's CICS (Aug 14,2015) Auction. It was supposedly one of...
Actually the coins are marked down not up. Shown is a pix of an original 80 reis, 1828 Rio, in uncirculated. [IMG] Following is an 80 reis...
Also happened in Brazil. First the Reis was devalued, then they came up with I think the Cruzado, then the Cruzeiro. This bill is a 1000...
So this thread is siliquae that one regrets not buying in the past? Okay here's mine. I did submit a written mail bid for it but that day my...
Fortunately all the Italian collections of note appear to reside in San Marino, inside Italy, but an independent Republic which can legally export...
I'd really like to see it too! I was not referring to a multiple but I dimly recall I was researching early types of cast Aes. I don't know if it...
Very nice Aegean stater. I've been looking for one of these much of my life but have always been outbid on them. This is one of the earliest...
This one is my latest: not yet even in hand, just negotiated the purchase. Roman Empire, gold semissis, Julius Nepos. The next to last Emperor...
Apparently not that common and positively rare in top grades. Mintage was 100K for the '33 and '36 and 500K in 1929 but I guess all specimens...
Thanks very much for the reply. I've had this a long time and for years it was my best, tho not necessarily most expensive, US coin. Next time,...
My Vecchi & Thurlow does not give any diameters. However I found that I both measured & weighed my specimen and have the following. Roman...
I have a DB '06 half, which I bought as an AU (ca. 1982 - 84) for $850. I've been told that the coin was probably dipped long ago but such was...
No, well it depends what you mean by "a lot". I thought it was very reasonable. I used the same guy for 3 pendants made now. Gold Wolff Jewlers...
Also had made by a jewler & gave this to my niece for her 1st Holy Confirmation. Coin is enclosed in 2 curved plastic pieces so it can't be...
Actually I made another coin display for our wedding which may be much more amenable to showing off a collection of Philippine coins. I used 2...
Thomas Jefferson was the 3rd US President (1801 - 1809). He collected some Roman coins. Would a cheap & relatively common Roman bronze of say...
My guess is a pocket piece as I can't imagine this thing circulating for the 50 years or so without somebody picking it out. Also it has no major...
