I obviously can't speak about the market in Russia, but I have been observing a number of auctions for Russian coins (particularly Stacks,...
I don't collect a lot of ancients (although there are many that I think are really cool - and intend to add eventually). I mostly collect US...
This is an incredibly cool thread. That write-up and coin in the OP is AWESOME!
You can't beat Great Collections for service and convenience. I have used them to sell coins before. Their fees are lower, yes, but... The prices...
NGC has several type sets available. They have one that is super-intense, and they have one that is modeled off the 7070. For example, mine is...

Ugh, this give me a headache.
I have a couple of coins that came from mint sets (Moroccan coins from the 50's) which did the same thing. They were clear before the acetone...
