About the only way to avoid it is to either be a dealer or hold them forever. I never understood people who get mad about losing money on...
Nice Genius type, and a very nice large coin. While I have long advocated there are great deals in small coins, rarities for a tiny fraction of...
Well thank goodness, right? Every coin deserves a home, and if we all had the same taste we would be fighting over the same 1000 coins over and...
I buy lots all of the time. I would suggest sir going for a slightly higher quality lot. I find if a coin is not at least a gF, or rare, I do not...
I like the coin John, but in context. If I had a more worn version of her, or if I were studying details of her coinage, I would really like it....
Nice coins. Seeing all of these wonderful BU Greenland coins probably is giving people the wrong impression. These are very scarce coins.
I disagree. Not with the being fake part, but with the "Chinese Fake" part. Millions of fakes of these were made long before it was illegal in...
It depends. For my junk silver I only ever bought it as a financial hedge, so to me its physical bullion. Every other coin I own I am like you....
I superglued it. However, a tiny piece is missing, as it shattered when it cracked. So, its glued together pretty well, but has a small piece...
Sorry to hear about it man. Reminds me when I posted here about a coin I was all excited about, and when it arrived it was cracked in two. :(...
I just see lots of "new lows" being generated. Its a dangerous game trying to profit on these long term though. Its the proverbial falling knife....
I was thinking more sir that MAYBE, (huge maybe I know), the dealer accidentally charged her for morgan dollar prices for halves. Maybe you could...
I didn't bid on any of Frank's auction coins. By that point I had too many coming to me, (and I had spent a lot), from other auctions. All I got...
Could be right. Maybe she or the shop just made a mistake.
I like the Caracalla more, and i didn't think i would. I have really been getting into roman egypt more lately. I think its Nero's head as well,...
Most pay per snipe programs i have seen, and the one i use, only charge per winning snipe. So, i pay like a nickel per winning snipe. Cheap at...
Is she a sister of Boran? They change attributions of these coins from 628 on pretty often. I had a chance at a Boran from Frank Robinson once, i...
OP means original poster, (you). :)
Yeah, OP, I would trust Bill's knowledge in this area more than any dealer or firm I know. Other world known numismatists refer to Bill on these...
I "gamble" on Ebay at times, just did last weekend. However, I have been on there for like 15 years, and do perform "due diligence" if something...
