Normally I don't place prebids, but given that the auction occurred while I was traveling, I did so. I couldn't trust the connection either on a...
That's one oddity of their bidding system. I placed two bids - one for 700 over a week before the auction and one for 750 a few days before the...
Thanks, but this doesn't quite make sense, since when I put my initial max bid of 700 CHF, I was shown as the highest bidder. I remained the...
FWIW, this is the first time for me something looks weird on an auction. I've purchased with Leu before without issues. There's probably some...
I'm sure there's a logical answer for how I was outbid on a coin this morning at Leu, but right now I'm confused. Since I knew I would be...
I don’t expect the war to affect ancient coin prices much. Yes, on the high end, there are many buyers from Russia. However, they’ve certainly...
Personally, I have a three-step plan to giving my coins incredible provenances. Create a website with stories and photos of all my coins (done)....
My family has a long history of stupidity regarding coins. My grandfather started it, buying mint sets and commemoratives from the 1950's...
I just took a look at the job description. There's a realistic chance that I have this! You will be educated to degree level - I do have a...
Wow, this thread has gone everywhere. :) FWIW, I'm currently a software engineer. Because my mother is Luxembourgish, I have citizenship there,...

Funny, I've celebrated this for some time on the nature forums, and I never realized it also applies here. :) [ATTACH] Sophytes, 'Athenian...
I'm not an expert in sestertii, but the diameter is well within range. The weight is a bit low, but not unheard of for the type. The seller is...
What's the weight? Generally, Savoca is very reputable. I've purchased many coins from them and they're one of my favorite auction houses.
Some more food for thought: Until recently, I collected ancient firecracker packs. I still have a few, but I sold the bulk of them to get started...
My "buck two fifty": The definition of "looting" itself is vague. When my wife's family moved here as refugees from Tajikistan, they had to leave...
You can't fix stupid.
Nice addition! Could the mem mean that it visited Gaza?
I purchase from both auctions and VCoins/ma-shops. In terms of "the one that got away" the usual issue is money. I just can't afford to buy every...
Thanks! I find it interesting that, with the exception of a failed attempt with Cynane, Alexander never attempted to find matches for any of his...
