Nice coins! I've not paid much attention to Celtic coins but that one is cool.
I have my eye on a couple tomorrow. The pre-bids are already near my limit though so I'm not hopeful.
That is a really cool book. You can tell a lot of work went in to it. Why didn't you include pictures of the coins in the book? That would...
Did Egyptians invent the first coins? Not to be pedantic about it, but I think it depends on on how you define "coin" and how you define...
I recently sold nearly all of my US coin collection. Not quite 3000 coins, but several hundred. I used all of the above methods and more. If I had...
I have not observed anything like you describe, where coins are selling for 1/3 of what they did a couple years ago. I suspect that was just bad...
Beautiful turtle!
Great list! I think you did a great job of separating the "real" Roman emperors from the ones of dubious/complicated status. How about continuing...
Nice Caesar denarius! I can see why you are attracted to it. The elephant looks a lot better than most. I also like the jellyfish or whatever it...
Here is another addition to my Roman Emperor collection, Claudius. [ATTACH] Leu Numismatik, Auction 8, Lot 252 10/23/21...
I have not sold many ancient coins, but I have sold a lot of US coins and I believe the options are about the same. I did an analysis once on...
Thanks everyone for sharing your examples! I’m somewhat surprised that we still have a number of these coins to enjoy, considering that they were...
I have been slowly expanding my Roman emperor collection over the past year. Thought I would share my Nerva denarius. [ATTACH] CNG 118, Lot...
That is an interesting case. It is a really great coin and I don't think the price is that far out of line in the current market. The previous...
Well, I ended up being the underbidder. So it appears 24x estimate is just the beginning of the journey for me. C'est la vie.
You live a blessed life. :happy:
That sounds so ridiculous I wonder if it was an error.
I have a feeling that estimates for some coins just get the generic treatment. Small bronze, $50. Republican denarius, $200. Aureus, $3000. Or...
There is a coin coming up where I am prepared to bid 24x the estimate. I think the estimate is about 10x below where it should be, I'm not sure...
I didn't write near-identical, I wrote "equivalent or better". Although each ancient coin is unique, I think much of the time you can find an...
