Depends on the quality and also depends on how proud the owner is of it. Like Red Spork says, its a very common coin. Like all "biblical coins",...
Fair point Ken. I would say they have gone through tougher and more lenient times ON GRADING, but have had different ideas on what is "acceptable...
I would agree with THCoins. Due to soil conditions, a lot of times copper coins from here will come looking a little "funny". Perfectly natural...
Well with a name like Charles the mad I am sure there are some great stories there. :)
I really do have to agree. The blackening, the lack of any luster, etc. If I saw that coin raw I would be 99% certain of it. I wonder if this coin...
Can we asked why you wanted it? I have some misc medieval coins from lots, but I usually stop myself around 1000 unless Byzantine or related. No...
A good numismatic book to me is a "force magnifier". It makes your coins you already own more interesting and gives you more collecting pleasure....
I kind of "backed the truck up" a month ago. An old friend said he had some half dollars from his mother. He said the local dealers would only pay...
True, I just wanted my post to get too involved. :)
People have short memories. They remember what the price was a few months ago. If a few months ago it was $14 they stop buying at $16. However, if...
Like I have said on other posts on the subject, make it a lottery. Make people certify they are not being paid to order the sets, (cull out...
I have a couple of large Ban Liang's with rosette holes. I believe the largest is about 18 grams. I never heard they had any significance. I...
Rare coin and nice shape too. I don't know if I have ever seen a complete example of this type, (struck from Andronicus II on). I own one I like...
Another point I would add. I bet you a large percentage of these world coins in slabs are actually IN the US, bought by US collectors. The reason...
While I agree with this, in my experience if you make contact with local dealers you can do better, but have to wait until something comes in. At...
Pretty much, but it depends on supply/demand. At times I have seen slight premiums. I buy this stuff as a dealer of mine has it, but he can go...
One of those "castle" maravedeis coins from medieval Spain. I have seen the type before. Check out this listing:...
Eh, if its just chemicals it will not reproduce "NT" since most people aren't patient. It will just damage a bunch more coins needlessly. :(
CICF is a good show if you are into world and ancient coins. For all other coins, I would go to Central States instead.
I would be in the unmarked, crummy looking suitcase camp, depending on value. For my better stuff, I might leave it in the SDB until I flew back...
