We with bad attitude are betting on the people paying these prices to lose interest and dump their coins when they want to start travelling or...
I freely admit that I subscribe to the Pellinore definition of 'Real Thing' Alexandrian. I do not consider all coins struck in the city as...
Examine all the photos in this thread and see how most show detail loss on the side not scooped as well. The thinned metal was not enough to fill...
All this would be unnecessary if they would publish minimum bids rather than estimates. Of course that would still run foul of those lots with...
That coin will not sell to someone who has to worry about cost. There are plenty of people out there who simply do not care what it costs if they...
I wish I could post my favorite Alexandrian but TIF already posted it. I suppose that is appropriate since the the galloping jockey-snake IS her...

I do not have a Henry III cut but here is a John with enough reverse legend to identify Walter on London. [ATTACH] The half is John / Willelm .L...
Not all those denominations were struck for any one ruler but there are three easier ones left.
This is toned billon and has clear legends. The $99 bright one is second but not as nice even for the price. Last place is the toned $99. Mine...
