That's a lovely coin and good deal. Agree there is still bargains but they are less and less since Covid. It's taking extra hunting to find them.
Looks like it could clean up nicely.
Great write up. These circulated for many years. Below is the "Jimmy Durante" Variety. [IMG] [IMG] Histiaia, Euboia 340 - 330 B.C. Silver...
Or broken pottery shards, ouch.
Not just that, but when we have to go a #2, not so sure how pleasant it would be to clean up afterwards when we are used to our modern ways.
Seems like most of the list is from Vcoins. Outside of Vcoins I have to give a big mention to our very own @Brian Bucklan of Bargain Bin...
I'd be fairly comfortable. BUT, I'd rather trade in the silvers and acquire some gold to bring back to our time. I'd use the coppers just on the...

The coin looks OK to me. As for taking pics, I am hit and miss too. I find it very hard to get good pics of coins made of silver that have...
No kidding. Plus I dont want to pay $2mill and have the coin with a hole and scratch to boot.:confused:
Lol, they're located in Palos Verdes, Ca. We here call it P.V., it's a rich area. Amusing to me. Its only a few miles from me. Fun fact, Eddie...
That's a gorgeous coin, but not at that price. But should you be surprised? We're seeing posts for slabbed/boring LRBs going for over $1000 and...
Looks OK to me too.
