My oldest is this Persian Siglos of King Darius, minted somewhere around 485-420 BC [IMG] [IMG]
How does that compare with the electrum staters of Lydia? I thought those were widely regarded as the first coins ever minted. Do you think the...
Well, the photos aren't showing the PL surfaces as well as I would like - but these pics aren't that bad. It is hard enough to show PL well in a...
I'm not sure I understand your question?
I recently saw an off-center prooflike Lincoln on Ebay (and later found out it was owned by a CoinTalk member, @ddddd ). I was able to adopt it,...
The obverse doesn't look PL to me. The reverse may be, but it is equally likely that its poor photography. I'd pass.
@jerry45 Any update on what you decided to do with this counterfeit? Were you able to get your money back?
@jerry45 I know the truth of this thread is painful, but I really hope that you are able to get your money back. I also *strongly* urge you to...

I don't know enough about ancients to have a wish list yet. Any wish list I make right now would include an Athenian owl, a Lydian Lion, and a...
What are you seeing? Because I'm not seeing it. Can you try taking better pictures?
That is a fascinating animation, and great photography. I just can't get excited about woodies, and yours is no exception. Sorry :( I just don't...
Beautiful coins! I didn't know PCGS had multiholders. Out of curiosity, can you post a pic of the slab?
There was a series of threads on the NGC forums recently where a member (who works in the law profession) posted a serious legal analysis of...
Dcarr correctly picked up on the fact that I was parodying the language Trump uses. It was satire.
Where did you pick this up from, and how much did you pay for it? Because I strongly suspect that is a counterfeit slab, and there is a high...
This tiny little coin is a little bit smaller than a US dime. She showed up a couple of weeks ago, but I just now had the time to take her glamour...
