I agree with fatima's point that the hype around here was getting overheated. However, your point about MCM being out of stock and therefor their...
Lol, in one quick sentence I told you 100% of everything I knwo about them. The only errors I collect are ancients, and not on purpose, but its...
Dang, you must love sports. I am given tickets to baseball, hockey, and football games here and even then will not go. Everyone has different...
Great story Matt. Listen, I know everyone wants bargains, its human nature. But coin collecting is also a learning curve. Starting the curve...
I agree. It says in the description for the second coin some were struck at the Bombay mit as well. I think the first is just a duplication.
Well I was just saying generally "one of two". During the Roman Republic, are you saying 400BC, 200 BC? 100BC? 44 BC? Which period? For most of...
I hear what you are saying OP but I have done exactly what you described. I am not sure about the price point for the coins you are talking about,...

Look at a worn coin you know is authentic. Just pick a US one. Look at it closely. See how the highest points are worn, leaving no detail and...
Well, I bought a bunch of stuff on the secondary market from the 70's and early 80's. That is my baseline sir, and I don't think the overall...
Scales can help, especially with certain issues. For this one probably not. I got a small electronic scale off of Ebay for about $60 to give you...
Look at the edge sir. See the line running around the coin? Its the casting seem. Its a cast fake. Chris
