Hi guys, I just bought a few cheap ancients from a guy who had just got them out of the ground and was wondering how to get the dirt off them...
Yeah, that's way cheaper. I think I got maybe 300 2x2s for that price, haha!
Thanks for the feedback; I hadn't really considered thicker coins like Greek drachma. I'll look into using enveloped. Do you know if that method...
These are what I use:...
Why'd you stop putting them in 2x2s? I like flipping through and looking at my coins. Otherwise, I wouldn't really be interested in keeping them....
I have a price code that I made a while ago, but I haven't used it yet because all of the coins I've purchased have been under $20, save a few...
Thanks for the feedback, sakata. I feel like most of the coins I've cataloged have adequate information, but sometimes I don't know if I'm getting...
I've amassed quite a fair amount of coins, and I've been putting them all in 2x2s and labeling them thoroughly (date, KM#, mint, and other...
Can't you determine the approximate silver content by the date of his Ants? If I recall, those made in the 240s AD were roughly 40%, 250s AD were...
Holy cow, I actually got a Postumus in the mail today too! I loved the quality of this one, so I just had to get it. 260-261 AD O:IMP C POSTVMVS...
I think that's the only time I've ever seen a fraction written on a coin. I like it. :P
I'm having a lot of trouble finding any quarter farthings at all (none on Ebay, none show up on Google shopping). If anyone could point me in the...
That's what I suspected, thanks a lot! :)
I agree, but I'm talking about common coins. Let me rephrase, does the age of a coin increase the value? I've seen identified Roman coins from...
I've been looking around online at various ancient coins ranging from 13-14th century French coins and jetons, to 870-1030 AD silver Amirs of Sind...
Yeah, I didn't think it was an error since they're both rotated the same amount (that's what it looks like anyway). But you're saying coins back...

As some of you may know, I'm pretty new to this and don't know much about the different types or years of error coins. So here I am casing my...
I have a French 5 franc coin with KM#888a.2 (minted in Africa) made of what appears to be 100% aluminum. The original KM#888a (minted in France)...
Do people generally sell coins and bills below face value? I recently bought a few coins from Ebay that are worth more than what I paid for, and...
