Yeah, I see similar prices generally. I think the BU and SP versions confused a lot of people and you lost some collectors by getting burned...
What Gordian III short of a gold piece is a $300-400 coin? Dude, I have never paid more than $30 for silver or copper Gordian III and most of mine...
I have never heard that about Spain, but some other countries. I cannot say though since I do not remember buying from Spanish auctions. I do have...
Of course I agree it's a good place, but also agree lots of competition. I believe it's the largest ancient coin auctioneer in the world....
Thank you, I was unsure. I simply have seen many, many issues from Antioch listed under imperial, while many more listed under provincial, and...
I can, if not understand, explain once you said the word "pedigree". Many moneyed investors have gone gaga over pedigree, believing that at some...
Honestly asking, is any coinage of Antioch in RPC? I thought Antioch was, (at least at times), a weird animal, with many considering it just as...
Lol, that is the thing with us old bastards, right? I bought mine back when, and I don't "need" it at these prices. I might if I don't own 50+...
Not buying anything at these prices unless price is unaffected by PM prices, (collectible). Pt and Pd are weird ducks. I like Pt, have many Pt...
That is what is weird to me. To me, and I know everyone is definitely different, I would prefer the coin I got over this one. That is why I...
I looked for years at Biddr and just typed in "Julius". Got some other hits but would let me know which JC were up for auction at those firms. I...
I was actually wondering if the ancient market had weakened since the piece I got seems vastly underpriced. I like the other two lots as well. A 5...
I know the coin market can be confusing but I am still scratching my head about the NN auction yesterday. I won this QUITE a bit over what I...
Yeah, anything that the general public knows about is generally overpriced compared to other ancients. 12 Caesars, Biblically related, JC, Cleo...
Yeah, I saw the listing as well. I call it the toupee portrait. It looks like Otho and his fake wigs.
I would say bronze, has the look of similar bronze from the area. I would agree scarce, I do not recall seeing this type before.
How scarce are the issues?
A chemical like water or acetone that cannot attack the surface of a coin is what I call safe conservation. Sometimes a coin needs to have harsher...
Extremely nice example, top 1% in existence easily. Cool, dramatic overstrike as well.
Thank you very much sir. Some kind of decoration would explain why the crest on the obverse is not connected and other puzzling details. I feel...
Separate names with a comma.
