You're right, I am a bit like the boy who cried wolf. But I really am wary of Byzantine gold.
GOOD LUCK! Byzantine gold coins are some of THE most difficult coins to authenticate. I would seriously question the abilities of ICG or even NGC...
One of the best bets for this is to place it in a half cointain - that way the coin is free to breath, but protected from cabinet wear.
Ha, the dealer must have rung a bell when you bought that. :-D Nice coin.
Well, I went into the city with money and came out near broke. So it was a good show. :D The Severus sestertius commemorates victories in...

Seeing as this is the US coin section, I suppose I should answer with a US coin. And heck, why not dream big? The schoolgirl pattern, in...
This piece nears the epitome of classical Greek numismatic art. Congratulations!
I'd grade it BS-64.
Ah, I was certainly searching under the wrong wildwinds database. (There's a similar specimen there too.) Thank you, again!
Best news I've gotten all day. Thanks! It only cost me $3 out of a pick through bin! EDIT: How did you know where to look?
AnemicOak, hopefully you'll recognize this coin. I'm thinking it may be from Pantikapaion. I've had it sitting in my unattributed pile since...
I was browsing old threads and found this - pretty damn funny, in retrospect. (Note the person who started the thread :D)...
