To answer your question, I think you did pretty well. I’ve seen worse than that coin with four-figure pricetags.
Coingratulations! This is a timely thread for me, as a lifetime Julius Caesar denarius is at the top of my current hit list. I've been shot down...
Your prize coin begins its transatlantic trek this morning, June 4th. Be sure to let us know when it arrives on the other side of the pond! :)
That 1798 S-163 is lovely!
That’s what I get for my money and time invested in these contests. Where I get my fun. Seeing what people will pick, and learning what they...
Not many of us can afford to! I consider myself lucky to own two common date examples (1899-S PCGS 62 & 1923 PCGS 64). And before my inheritance...
Exciting news- the prize offerings are about to expand considerably this month! None of this new stuff is in hand yet, let alone added to the...

I believe it’s had one or two other admirers over the last five months or so (I bought it in January.) Normally I would prefer that my...
Here's another 9mm tiny I used to own. Mysia, Lampsakos diobol, ca. 4th-3rd century BC. Great design. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] I used to have one...
Cool little things. SO tiny! This is presently my smallest (~9mm), and oldest. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Post pictures of it, in its own topic. It depends on the grade, the mint, and other factors. We can help you with it when we can see it.
It is immediately obvious to anyone who’s seen any kind of misstruck coins. Plus, glue or adhesive buildup on coins is not metal, and with any...
New prize option added to the Giveaway Gallery. (Details here.) (100 coins) World coin assortment including some older pieces and 2 silver coins...
