@gsimonel and @Victor_Clark are both excellent sellers on eBay, I’ve bought from both. Actually I would have bought more but I’m usually not...
That’s an impressive coin, @dougsmit. I also do not have any coins with confronted heads of Albinus and Severus. I recently found a very beat...
@Herodotus I think I see some nice coins in there. I think you could offload some of those and probably break even on the lot if you were so...
@Finn235 If you find any Severans in that lot that you don’t want let me know. I always get blown out on the lots.
Lol this is all too familiar. As I am building my watch list from a new auction listing (or in the case of Roma, having to come back 100x to...
Even considering the wear, the portrait and the figure of Venus are both very nice. Congrats on the find and grab! I do not have one of her yet....

Nice additions everyone! I thought the same thing, @Gavin Richardson. I was like why can’t I have those kind of results?!
@MSG 78 I very much like the idea of keystone sales. I think that you will find that collections organized around a theme and promoted correctly...
I think @rrdenarius makes a great point. If starting prices (based on estimate of course) are high, I just move on.
There are a lot of worthwhile thoughts in this thread and I, like others, am happy to be asked for some feedback. Thanks for listening @MSG 78....
Those are some fine examples, @Victor_Clark, @Gavin Richardson and @Alegandron. It’s interesting to me to see the CONSTANTINI legend used on...
@Victor_Clark that is a very nice camp gate. I don’t know if I’ve even seen a four turreted camp gate before. Your list is fun to read and...
