I agree, I just posted the same on the other thread where Dave posted this. After seeing clearer pics I see 4-5 things wrong with it. I hate to...
Well if it were real it would be 2200 years old, but seeing more clear pictures I believe its a reproduction. Having it in hand would make me more...
I never said the Ostia was anywhere near the quality of your coin sir. That would be well into 5 figures, maybe six. :( The example I almost...
I agree that its a pretty ridiculous coin. I also like how pretty the NCLT maritime issues were, and considered buying some, but thought twice...
I understand Jason, but if I understand your business model correctly you would want a brick and mortar shop that would buy bullion and coins, and...
Man what a fantastic specimen. It kind of makes me sad of two similar items I had a chance to buy but for some reason I didn't. The first was a...
To the Op, I would suggest reading some beginner economics books and then read opinions here. Most are one sided, or are handling large issues too...
I don't display coins, as I don't have either any want to, or any good way to do so. However, it might be stupid, but I do have a small display...

Well from photos I am always leery of saying something is good or bad, especially fuzzy ones. Of the two, the top one looks fine, 4th century...
I agree. Two different colored sides on a coin is common, as are two different grades. It appears your coin was exposed to the elements on the...
Fair enough sir. Btw, I only challenge people's thoughts to get them to think the entire issue through. My only intent in this is to get you...
I thought SMS were only made 1965-67? I thought 1964 had proof sets. But, its a question for SQD related to above. The 1965 SMS quarter is...
