This is where the crackout game begins. They may resubmit for a Star or a Fine Style. Then as a pop (1/0) with that designation there’s no limit...
It must be even harder on dealers than on collectors to acquire high-end inventory in this market. Before the internet most coins at auction were...
I am probably in CNG’s target audience. I have had difficulties with overseas auctions in other collecting fields, including such things as export...
An amazing example. Congratulations!
I'm curious if these unusual prices are more pronounced in US auctions. Though we live in a global economy, I would think that Americans are more...
It shows you have a good eye.
I think this has a lot to do with it. Tesla stock alone has created $674 Billion in new "wealth" in just the past year. If you were lucky enough...
If the coin last sold at auction for $188, I would say that $300 is a very fair offer.
I had one nice Greek coin picked out at Triton. After much research I decided that four times estimate was a strong price for the coin, and I came...
It's too bad Cleopatra's portrait on these coins is so darn ugly. If they looked anything like modern interpretations, Cleopatra VII coins would...
I think you already know there is no right or wrong way to collect. To answer your question I prefer quality over quantity. To help figure out if...

If you want to collect ancients in slabs, that is what you should do. 3rd party certification has been slow to come to ancient coins, for several...
Maybe coin shows will see a comeback? With increasing buyer’s fees, shipping costs, sales tax, use tax, VAT, etc., face-to-face cash transactions...
Congrats on the 12 Caesar set. Looks like a really nice one. I hope to complete one myself some day.
I'm not a tax expert and I haven't really been paying attention to this issue. But, if the new tax laws say that sales tax now applies to items...
The grasshopper type is my very favorite of these Metapontion staters. There are some which have the outline of a dolphin on the reverse. I read a...
Hard to know for sure without the measurements but I'm guessing a little of both. The reverse is complete as well suggesting a wide flan. From the...
I think there is definitely a preference for bigger coins. I come from the US numismatics side, and larger coins are more expensive. Not because...
Thanks! But I may not make it that far. My thinking right now is if I buy one nice Ancient Greek coin per year, in 20 years I’ll have a fine...
