Its the "with mint tags" to our MS 70 beanie babies.........
I just discussed this with a circuit board engineer yesterday. He said palladium and gold we on the boards, not a trace of silver. He said by cost...
These are not so bad if you get Hartill. Its affordable and a godsend for English speaking collectors of cash. You are lucky, I had to start with...
Well, the Xi Ning could be fine and its just the wear throwing me off. I would say Hartill 16.171 if its fine. Its listed as r-15(common) so no...
I am not an expert in these, but your first pic I do not like the smaller coin. The "shen" is not right in my eyes. Look how the characters run...
Makes you sick to have the word "coin" associated with a pathetic crook like this. I hate how many times crooks use our hobby as the excuse to be...
Both Indian states, anywhere between late medieval and early modern. Sorry I am not more help without a Michiner book in front of me. I am sure...
Yeah Beef, I hate to say but it will be a long learning process. So many people think "ancient guys" should know all about all ancients. Truth is...
I like your style sir. I do the same, I buy coins simply to force myself to learn more about them. :D www.ancientcoins.ca has quite a few...
I agree with Rick as well as you. Yes, there were bank rolls because I have seen them in old auctions. A famous dealer had a huge sale in Iowa and...
I have to simply say Tim I have bid both ways. My net yield of auction wins by sniping is astronomically higher than bidding early. What you are...
As for bidding against friends like those here, I would say I would never bid on a lot anyone woukd post here asking about unless I pm'ed the...
For sake of clarity, I believe the Chris Doug is referring to is Chris Hopkins of parthia.com, not me. :) Btw, the third edition of Sellwood was...
I would go with a Sellwood 10.1, Sunrise 254, attributed to Phriapatios to Mithradates I (185-132 bc).
The book I reference Doug is the very same Sunrise Collection book you mentioned earlier. Its not the source, but uses articles published by Assar...
I am not sure if this is a mithradates or phriapatus-mithradates. They have some new attributions for these. Much scarcer than most sassanids of...
I agree. Its a book that was probably pretty valuable pe, (pre-internet), but I would say Doug, Warren, and others have sites that should get you...
I feel you. Something about big old coppers are warm and attractive. Problem for us is every field has large coppers basically, from Roman...
Nice writeup Warren. I posted something similar on Moneta-l a decade ago. Please let me know if you are interested in expanding it to cover other...
Its a huge subject Beef. "Ancient coin books" is unanswerable. Want recommendation for an inexpensive, single volume reference for roman coins?...
