Well within the acceptable level. It is genuine.
Here's my example of the phony Justinian follis. What's interesting, and something I never noticed before, is that both the planchet shape and the...
For genuine types (with less wear) the weight should be between 4.3gms to 4.5gms. With the obvious wear it still shouldn't be less than around...
Here's another coin of Salonina from Side with obvious obverse/reverse differences. Obv: Diademed and draped bust right Rev: Legend in seven...
Bit different but here's a 10 Assaria type of Gallienus from Perga Pamphylia: Obv: Bust right, I before Rev: Legend in four lines [ATTACH]
The majority of coins in my collection are documented and priced. As we have no children my wife and I decided, and put in our wills, that when we...
Interesting type. Here's one I have, just not a great strike Postumus (259-268 AD); AR Antoninianus, Treveri Mint Obv: IMP C POSTVMVS P F AVG;...

You can even break it into just a few categories; maybe under $15, $15 to $30 and $30 to whatever dollars. That would make it a lot easier to...
@Justin Lee : Exactly, you'd have your dealers and your attendees, like any other show. @dougsmit certainly has a valid point but to kick around...
The biggest problem is that you would have to cancel probably 2 to 3 months before the date of the show due to travel and accommodation issues.
Just curious what folks think about the chance of cancellation of many 2020 coin shows. Already the MLB pre-season, NBA and the college basketball...
Not me. Every time I try to clean a bronze coin it ends up worse than I started. I really appreciate this. I was hoping that someone could...
