Well, I kind of figured something along those lines, Ken. I don't care for slabs myself in that a) I will not pay a premium for a coin in a slab...
Hidden dragon: See, the opposite of that is true for me. I live on the south side, so driving to Rosemont meant I had to cross the entire city to...
Those are both excellent reasons for me too lol. Great win.
As someone fairly new to ancients (say four years), I'm always interested in learning more. I also like seeing work by people I already like. I...
Good lord that looks like a beast. Nice portrait and eagle both. Also, why the crackout? I don't buy stabbed for cost reasons so I don't really...
Well unlike the past week, today was not terrible in Chicago weather wise. And the show was good even if everyone was sort of out of their...
Thanks Mikey. I think you did bring me some good luck. I have been looking for a Cappodocian drachma and found one for $45 in VF. Also picked...
Yes the event is new. If you compare dealer lists from last year's CICF and this year's Chicago Expo you will see that they are pretty much...
Alegandron, sorry I am not sure of who you are or I would have said hi. I meant to send you a message earlier as I walked in but I immediately...
I'm not sure where you are going but I hope that you have a nice time. The show was great. I spent too much money because I found too many good...

Yes the stained glass skylight is Tiffany. Beautiful Place. Walking in now.
Hello all, I was wondering if anyone will be at the Chicago Coin Expo tomorrow. I will be. Hope to run into some of you there. Nick
This is very cool. Was the seller unaware of the rarity? That seems like a really good deal to begin with, even more so if the seller was aware...
I agree. Unless there is bronze disease, I say leave it. Easy to mess up a great coin and if doing no harm, it does not detract from the coin at...
@John Anthony: I see that you have picked up a fine example of AIB for yourself! That is remarkable that both legends on either side of Apollo...
Magnus Maximus, thank you very much! I am still learning how their empire ebbed and flowed. Now that I am getting a feeling for identifying the...
Yes, I see how I was misreading the calipers now. Ugh, nothing like feeling dumb in front of twenty other people.
So, feeling braver and more knowledgeable after the help rendered yesterday, I tackled the last four of my coins. At least I had a head start on...
Lol @stevex6 ; @dougsmit I do multiple weighs/measurements as well. I am guessing that buying the calipers I did was the problem. I am...
