To me, this covers all the ethical concerns, unless you're talking about some seriously juiced photos. And even then, there's the return policy....
Cue the Dos Equis "Most Interesting Man In The World" meme. "I don't always buy Roman coins, but when I do..."
I was "all about the portraits" in my "A-to-Z" (Augustus to Zeno) set and subsequently in my second Roman (12 C) set, but nowadays, since becoming...
I would expect it on a War nickel like @Paddy54 described. Very common on those. Kinda surprising on a 90% silver dollar, though (to me,...
Now there's a fine quote from a fellow Jawjuh resident! (Well, former Jawjuh resident. RIP, L.G. Chili Dawgs Only Bark At Night, indeed.)
Igpay Atinlay was all I learned in school. :oops: Every single bit of Latin I know came from coins. Thanks for all the education, little buddies.
Liberate it! I might entomb mine, but that's mostly just for "Box of 20" consistency purposes. If I collected only ancients, mine would be...
Oh. Wow! Consider me impressed! Don't have pics of my old Galba LIBERTAS sestertius, so this modest (Spanish mint?) As will have to do. [IMG]...
I thought it might be. I say again, "interesting!" But that's all I can contribute, aside from the vague notion it's a planchet flaw of some...
Aha! There we go!
Interesting! Planchet flaw of some kind? Certainly looks to have preexisted the strike. Is the "bubble" raised or concave? I'm not on the...
I wondered. LOOKS LI Looks like I hit CAPS LOCK by mistake. LOL Where was I? Oh, yeah. Looks like the best kind of "cleaned" coin. Cracked...
You posted that question twice. Sounds to me like... Oh! Thanks for volunteering! Here's the pooper-scooper. Sorry, no gloves, but here's a...
Proofs! Oh, yeah! Someone here needs to go cherrypick that PR69 DCAM Izzie quarter, even if it costs their entire five bucks!
Looks like a regular dime with spots to me ;) Nice photo, though. You can post full size instead of thumbnail. Welcome!
PS- I briefly owned a nice Seleucid tetradrachm that looked similar to your avatar, but @Aethelred twisted my arm really hard and made me sell it...
Hey, that's really nice looking! I like it... a lot. Are we being secretive about the grade? Is this a "GTG" thread? ;)
Almost certainly all of the above, with religion likely the biggest factor. Say and believe what you like about the man; his historical legacy...
Ditto. I'd become his galley slave for that thing. (Well, for a day or two, anyway.) ;)
Don't worry. I read somewhere that you vampires are immune to tasers. Won't hurt a bit. Hmm. Then again, we are talking about a 19th century...
