This particular coin (the Tiberius portrait sestertius) is the one remaining coin I lack in my 12 Caesars imperial collection. It is very...
Unless you're desperate for cash, it's ludicrous to sell a genuine EID MAR denarius by any method other than a world-class auction (NAC, Triton,...
Correctly stated. For any auction in which I'm bidding, I've already calculated the additional buyer's fees, approximated the exchange rate,...
This mirrors my thinking on this topic as well. While the user interface clearly can be improved, the fundamental auction model isn't going to...
I stand corrected. I haven't shipped anything overseas for many years, so maybe my information was from years ago and requirements have changed.
You should be aware that for customs purposes, the "value" is NOT the amount paid by the buyer -- it's YOUR value. In fact, if the coins you sold...
Conceptually, this is a pretty interesting idea. A 20% buyer's fee calculates to a 16 2/3% seller's fee on the hammer price. I wonder if any...
I agree that the user interface to an auction can be improved in most cases. Most user interfaces are abominably badly implemented, usually by...
How would you implement this improvement? For example, the actual buyer's premium can't be known until the hammer falls, so displaying bid price...
I'm curious -- exactly how would you change the current auction model so that the customer experience was better, while still giving the auction...
Among the various criteria for rating a dealer or auction house, how would the collectors here rate the relative importance of the following...
Ahhh... Hadrian with modern-day lip injections gives that one away... Here's another genuine example [ATTACH]
That's part of the exercise in this thread. Theoretically, by selling at a well-publicized auction for $42K, this coin's market price has been...
It's clear that the dealer's listing price will be negotiated downward, but if I were a dealer, I wouldn't want to tie up $42K of my...
For accuracy's sake, all costs and fees should be added to the price you paid for the coin (including shipping).
Interesting... hadn't thought about the angle of a dealer having a high-value coin in his inventory mainly for prestige, but it makes a certain...
I've always loved this type of coin -- visually it's an eye-catcher and yours has all the essential elements well centered on the obverse. A...
Your #1 and #5 are very much my favorites -- well centered, recognizable portraits, and #5 has that unusual and attractive reverse. But also an...
Yes -- spoiler alert -- the dealer who bought the coin is listing it for $115,000. This is really a key observation about auction coins bought by...
But the question about which I'm curious is, if YOU were the dealer and paid $42K for this coin, what would be YOUR asking price?
