I don't find it that bad Mat. I wouldn't beat yourself up. Think of it this way, due to Octavian's policies, Rome blossomed and entered into a...
Its a very cool coin Mat. Octavian is to me the last RR, and as such are much cooler than Augustus coins. I don't have one yet, but one of...
Its a fair position to have sir. I may have lost money by getting unlucky on the RP's grading. I am simply confused why you believe the S mints...
Not really an accident, but I was cleaning a group of ancients once and there was a silvered coin in the lot. I thought about pulling it out, but...
No they wouldn't. Trying to use the face value of a gold coin for capital gain calculation has been found repeatedly and consistently to be a tax...
I find the best deals on EBay. I buy better quality lots at times.
My little diamond in the rough I liked to buy was the 27s quarter. Look into it, its a very scarce coin of a short series.
Fair enough sir. I bought 5 sets of the ASE's but still am sure I am short overall. If you count me buying a couple thousand ounces of silver at...
Btw Doug Smith of CT has a lot of information on coin photography for those who don't know that: http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/
Excellent posts. To me it proves a photo of a coin can never be relied on for either authoritative grading, or authentication. I would have called...
As usual I missed it. :( Thanks for setting me straight Randy. :)
So are you just going to leave us hanging Doug?
Very true sir, but I see many of these have bad horn silver coming out of the ground. I am not thinking they are trying to make them shiny more...
If its for an estate and no one wants them, take them to a coin show and get three or four offers for the lot. If its common stuff like bags of...
AU 55. I am guessing they gave it a pass on the cleaning, even though its too harsh for my taste. Nice strike though. :) Edit: Lol, sorry...
Actually I have an opinion to ask this group. What would you do in my situation: 5 sets graded, of the two keys, 5 s's 70, but only 1 RP 70. Of...
Just like you tried to shoot down Cloudsweeper asking him if he even owned bullion and why does he continue to post on threads about bullion? Is...
If I am wrong I will of course retract what I said. Maybe my memory was wrong Rlm. Sorry. I just remembered, (perhaps wrongly), that the 63 was...
Martin, you really collect some beautiful coins. Great taste. I have to admit every time I see Kyme I start to get excited since one of my...
Ace, I would think long term you will be happier with fewer but nicer coins. With that in mind I would do exactly what Gbroke does, take your...
