I said “most dealers” not all dealers. If I went on Google and searched for a dealer near me I wouldn’t find any who are experts in ancients. So...
Well yeah I was referring to US dealers because that’s what most dealers are. Like in my experience every local dealer I’ve been to is a U.S....
It’s not bunk, AncientJoe just agreed with it too! He said expecting American coin dealers to be experts in ancients is like expecting a car...
You guessed closer than anyone else :)
Well I mean yeah if people were telling me to buy Morgan Dollars at a car dealership it would be the same thing. That’s why I say I don’t buy raw...
I know a lot of people say that but even dealers make it hard without slabs. For example what if I bought a coin from a dealer raw and I didn’t...
I like slabs because they allow me to collect ancient coins without being too afraid of getting ripped off. If slabbed coins didn’t exist I...
Because if they think they’ll be paid more for a coin if it has bankers marks they could easily use tools to create their own banker’s marks.
Here is the answer for everyone who guessed! :) I know some people will disagree with the grade but with that CAC sticker in addition to the PCGS...
What do you guys think? :) I haven’t done one of these in a long time! [ATTACH]
I was thinking of bidding on this one just to have an example of Otho even if it’s in super low grade. [ATTACH]
Anyone happen to know if Otho & Galba are more or less expensive than Vitellius? I have a nice Vespasian already and I’m going to need all four...
Nice! I still need Nerva for my 5 Good Emperors. I have the other 4.
It’s not just Vitellius! Take a look at this Marcus Aurelius denarius of mine. It’s Looney Tunes levels of cartoonish. Lol![ATTACH]
Nice one! I really like the design of that reverse. I like birds lol. Mine has an eagle on the scepter on the reverse but it’s tiny and hard to see.
Yours has some great details and a very pleasing color and strike :). Just curious how do you know if the banker marks were made back in the...
Thanks! Yours is a beauty! I’ve been trying to find more information about exactly how rare this particular type is but my success has been...
In my defense F12 is the lowest grade coin I’ve ever had (1799 Draped Bust Dollar) so I’m not as familiar with the grades below that. XD
Omg I just realized this entire time I was confusing my VG (very good) coin as an AG (almost good) coin. xD I literally just realized a minute...
But I’m sure an Eid Mar aureus they’d spent lots of time looking at every single thing about it. I mean it’s true they could mess up but that’s...
