One I got from FORVM years back, because I thought the countermark looked cool. Tarsos, Cilicia, c. 164 - 37 B.C. [IMG]
Wow. Nice!
Ditto
I can agree with AU58 PL, now that you mention it. Didn't occur to me to include that designation with my original AU58 guess. Nice coin. Dunno...
I would think you could get them reholdered in individual slabs. Might cost you three reholdering fees for three new holders. You would of...
I think there's definitely something to this, and that there could indeed be a "sweet spot" in that $100-300 range of which you speak. Others...
This one was gold, and not tiny, but holed in antiquity. It also came with a famous pedigree. It cost me $350-ish or thereabouts, back in 2003...

Oh. Ha! I see what you did, there. Took me a sec to "get" it. In this case, they're gonna burn it out, with laser beams. (Second round of...
Ugh, geez. I'm subconsciously plagiarizing myself, now! But it kinda fits... in both cases. :P
I dropped the 20-coin limit (coincidentally also 4 years ago), and let mine grow- it's at 85 as of this post- but I am strongly contemplating a...
That's a beauty!
I'm going to try to do the drawing on or shortly after 9/11. That's the date I picked for the end of my similar giveaway on Collectors Universe,...
Nice. I asked for a link to this in your other thread, but I found it on my own. I love seeing a good "budget" collection of early Type like...
Got a link? Wanna see that again. Do you have somewhere where this whole collection is posted? I reckon I'd enjoy looking at that low-end "$20...
