OP, first thing to understand about PM is how emotionally driven it can be. I just read an article from India how purchases there are down because...
I agree with JA. I know of this seller, since he is close to me. Self slabs a lot of garbage because a lot of buyers believe "slabs add value"....
I wouldn't count on it. I have seen numerous time outs and even some "voluntary retirements" from the site. It has been enforced sir. Not that...
One at a time? Which coins? If "just" ancient, and only better ancients, (so not counting Chinese, even knives, spades, or other early Chinese),...
We all do it Doug when a thread gets necroed. No harm, especially when it was a good thread to begin with. Regarding grading, I still feel like...
Um, I will take that bet. Seller selling something he does not know much about from China, yeah, its a great move to buy early BU US coins out of...
Still won't help. A lot of it is still on the buyers to KNOW they have a counterfeit. Unfortunately many will never know this for years until the...
No, the detail is not too good to be true sir. Heck, I have PILES of cash from 10th century, first century, even 2nd century bc wish as good of...

Its a fairly nice one, I would say more than a few bucks. Maybe $10-15 as a good buy.
Byzantine, at first glance appears to be Justinian. Denomination is I=10, so 10 nummi or quarter follis.
Fair points Doug, especially the last. I know I am guilt of not commenting enough on others coins at times. I respect everything that others...
I believe the OP said the sellers terms listed he had to pay for shipping it back, not the seller. That is why he was asking the question here. I...
True. I have been drawn more to Hard Time tokens, Civil War tokens, and colonial coins more than I ever was when I collected US coins. They just...
Yeah, even though I have a few bigger auctions for me coming up, I just bought a group of 5 Thai pod duangs. To me, a collector collects. Now I...
I agree, but there are always certain coins the loss stings more than usual. :(
Just in time for the Ebay coin fraud department's disbandment. Thanks for the warning. Yeah, I simply need to stop buying coins I am not...
I agree. OP, you are in the driver's seat here. If the seller says he won't pay return shipping, well, you never received your item, right? So, in...
