Well, there's no hinting involved - they do authenticate them, and won't slab anything they have any doubt over. There's just no guarantee. If you...
There's definitely some value there, although none of it is guaranteed, and a photo certificate would really serve the same purpose other than the...
I'm not a fan of slabs, or grading for ancient coins either for that matter ! Reasons: - I do like to take coins out, hold them, inspect them,...
Perhaps, but I wonder if NGC would even do it? How can you prove hoard provenance without there being a registry of individual coins or photo...
Thanks guys! It's sad to think that this type of hoard provenance is still only one sale away from becoming "ex. Property of a gentleman". Too...
Yes, although as avid collectors perhaps it's best we don't! Could you imagine the temptation of finding something like this and having to hand it...
Thanks @Black Friar and @Fugio1 ! I appreciate the positive comments! I was glad to be able to put together this write-up to do a little justice...
Very nice! It'd be fascinating to know the individual histories of some of these coins... How did a coin made in Carthage end up in Britannia 10...

Thanks, TIF !
This is probably my favorite acquisition of 2021. It's been a long time holy grail for me - the first coin type issued by Constantine I after...
I'm pretty sure it was Justinian II with these coins from his 1st reign 685-695 AD. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thanks Carthago! That's very kind!
That's awesome ! Thanks, Silphium Addict !
That's odd. At least they go back a bit further than ACSearch which stops at 2001. Thanks for checking!
Hi ambr0zie. yes that's the coin, but the $200 is just the estimate. I'm after the actual price it went for, which would have been published...
Does anyone happen to have the prices realized for CNG Mail Bid Sale # 47, from September 1998? ? The coin I'm interested in is # 1982 I've...
Who are you referring to? I don't think Jesus was executed for claiming to be a messiah, but rather just as someone who was leader of a group that...
