Ebay more than anywhere else, but I don't recommend using that before you know much about ancients, as it's easy to get ripped off, particularly...
Yeah, it turns out that most coins, even very old ones, aren't worth a whole lot. Heck, I collect ancient Roman coins, and I've never payed more...
I've generally done pretty well with ancients, though I haven't sold any part of my collection. My best deal was from a guy who was obviously very...
In case you're ever interested in ancients, there's a blacklist of known fake sellers of those here.
I don't have any Widow's Mites, unfortunately (I have only 1 Judaic coin, which is worn to an almost unrecognizable state, but you're free to have...
You could always give out an ancient coin. There are plenty of very cheap ones around, and those who have no idea how accessible ancients can be...
I'm pretty sure that that just means that we don't have anything confirming that it's fake. You will need someone who is very familiar with this...
I pretty much echo what everyone else has said. I've been satisfied with what I got from them, though they seem to have a somewhat higher amount...
It still may not be. There are plenty of fakers on there. Make sure that the seller is not on this list, and make sure that the coin isn't in...
You are referring to Athenian coins with the bust of Athena on the obverse and a large owl on the reverse, right? They did indeed exist. You can...
Don't clean this further! It's already overcleaned, and you're not going to help it at all by more cleaning. Besides, there's probably nothing...
I still think it's later third century, probably tetrarchic. Compare the shape of the portrait to this one of Galerius. I think the coin here is...
If it's Macrinus, then that would indeed make it more valuable, but the fact that it's a fourth year coin makes that identification very unlikely....
If it's year 4, it can't be Macrinus, since he ruled for 14 months total. Did you mean someone else?
It's a Byzantine 12 Numi from the Alexandria mint of either Justin I (518-527) or Justinian I (527-565). That's in pretty decent shape for this...
The text is there, but it's very hard to read. It's all the lumpy stuff above and to the right of the bust. It's largely off the flan (it's...
I'd probably by myself a nice sestertius of Vespasian and spend the rest on bulk lots of denarii, if I could find any.
Well it's a tetradrachm from Alexandria, Egypt from the second half of the third century AD. The obverse has a Roman emperor, though I can't tell...
I believe that it currently is the Japanese 500 yen coin, which exchanges at $5.26 US at the time of this post.
If he's charging that little for each coin, he knows just how fake they are. If he is not indicating the fact that they are reproductions in the...
