As of now, since my kisd are young, (one unborn), I have no idea if they would want them. I know my wife doesn't. So I have a list of three firms...
Probably. Its simply math. I will say, though, TPGs do provide a great service weeding out the fakes. That is the one thing I would ever use them...
Yeah, that's the rub. I don't have unlimited time to search for coins, and why do I wish to look over a dealer's offerings if I am not sure I can...
Eh, depends on the counterfeit. Remember the Omegas? They would have been slabbed if TPG existed then. It was an authentication service would...
Top one is some kind of a token or something. Looks like a machine struck cash at first glance, but the reverse is wrong. They never dated...
I would agree with you Doug. I wouldn't care for such a situation like that either. I am hoping the OP's situation was not that. That would leave...
Interesting. They very well could be right, I just thought in Greece they had already struck bronze by this time. Again very cool coin. I was...
Well, considering its an ae2 for $11 all in you are already good. Just adding the nice patina puts that coin at triple what you paid. I find the...

Cool coin man. IDK about "first bronze coin" since they were making them earlier than that I believe, but still early and a very interesting...

I was told it was a known fake listed in Sellwood. So I checked Sellwood Sassanid and sure enough there it was. It was also on a fake listing...
Here is another I have looked for for the right price: [ATTACH] I just won it a few hours ago, so seller's pic of course. Its Constantine...
All good answers, except the baked potatoes. :) It can be an hour, decades, or never. Why do you think original fulll red has such a premium? Its...
True, it will depend what it looks like in hand. From the photo it appeared to be a nice problem free midrange specimen. A top specimen would hit...
I would estimate 140,000 Euro, so about $182,000 plus the vig. That would be around $218,000 all in. Still very strong prices realized for such...
Pm going down while stocks are going up. Who would have ever thought of that, huh? You know, I did pretty well with my PM during the 2000's...
Almost looks like Marathas. Sorry I can't be more help. These are not my area, but have "seen them around". When ancient collectors talk about...
High is relative. I bet you not more than half a recent sale of a non-holed specimen. Yes, for most of us its still an expensive coin, i just...
