Classic troll move. Take a discussion that's been about coins and innocently add in "and companies". The standard troll transition. It's time to...
To the first point, nope. I already provided an auction in Paris where items sold for big prices. The Dahlem Museum in Berlin has a large Native...
Do you bother to research any claim you make? The Native American artifacts market is far larger than the ancient coin market. Here's one example....
Either they didn't anticipate losing the lawsuit, or they wanted to use the lawsuit to draw attention to their cause and urge a change to the...
Native American artifacts can go for huge $$$. Here's an example of a controversial sale where one mask received $1.2 million. I'm not sure what...
I understand this, but my point is they needed this to happen in order to file the lawsuit. I'm sure the same organization fed the story to the...
AFAIK, UST is Umsatzsteuer - or basically a tax. I currently see this on only one ma-shops shop, Toenjes. Clearly, the issue is on the German side...
This honestly seems a bit fishy to me: a group advocating the free trade of antique coins brings a group of coins into the US and - lo and behold...
Congrats on this great coin! I didn't participate in this auction because I have a number of targets at other ones, but this one would have been...
I reiterate others' suggestions to collect what you like. I'm sure there are others who collect one of each denomination for a particular Roman...
Petra is still fine. Jordan is a moderate country and suffered very little violence. I visited Petra some time ago and credit it for starting me...
As I already mentioned, there are numerous solutions to keep coins safe from dropping and sticky stuff. Others with more experience correct me...
The problem is you supply false arguments in your reasoning for buying slabbed coins. As has already been stated ad nauseam, the reputable...
I think there's a misunderstanding here. I research the current market value for the coin so I can know what to offer. Will $200 win it? $500?...
Well, this has me a bit worried. There are several high priority coins coming up for auction, but I'll be out of town with uncertain Internet...
You seem to have a lot of trust in Heritage, but I hope you remember that they're one of the more controversial auctioneers, specifically around...
Those coming from modern coins do, but just from the replies here, there are a great many ancient coin collectors who don't.
Yeah, there's two numbers, and often they don't make sense. There's so many things that go into whether a coin is desirable: - Centering - Raised...
I have yet to own a slabbed coin, but the following give me frustration with them. If NGC doesn't provide a COA, then why do they charge more for...
IMHO it depends on the auction, how badly you want the coin, and how expensive you anticipate the coin going. If the auction is one where "money...
