Classical Numismatics Aaron Berk
Nice coin! My first (and only) Morgan to be mail-ordered (which also had nice toning) also disappeared via Registered mail.
It's a sestertius of Severus Alexander. I'm too lazy to peruse that volume of Sear's RCV, but it looks like it's PROVIDENTIAAVG S-C. The guy was...
Yes, there's always the band hobby and some other long-time hobbies. It's still perfectly enjoyable to read coin posts. I just don't think I'll...
Not trying to get into any verboten topic or anything political. I don't have either the time or energy for that. I mention the tariffs only...
I collect mainly ancients and medieval coins. Sometimes early modern. Basically if it's struck and it's cool. I only have two modern coins, one...
I love toning, but like Butt-Head would say, "Umm, no." One could get a really rare ancient, like Eugenius or Constantine III for that.
I would avoid it. Go with your gut, especially for a hefty purchase. It could be perfectly innocent. Young people especially prefer cashApp,...
While she (on the OP coin) is no Southern U. Dancing Doll, to be fair, the husband isn't any looker. I always thought that both Severina and that...
I'd pick the most expensive of the bunch and trade it for a commensurate ancient.
(Unless I missed it) There's also the opportunity buyer; buying if some rarity pops up or is in some coveted category.
Yes, I'd much rather have an ugly Jovinus or Sebastianus than an EF Hadrian (which I'd also like to have). Mine's a qualified answer; If the...
It depends what the piece is. If it's a Brutus EID MAR, ugly and rare!
I'll echo the generalist theme.
For $124 one could get a halfway decent (or really nice common) ancient/medieval coin. I haven't looked at pricing lately, but presumably a...
[MEDIA] The youtube channel Classical Numismatics has a good video about fiat currency, past and present. Many of his other videos (most focus...
[ATTACH] Here's a freed example. The dealer had enough sense to free it from the tomb. The NGC grade was XF, and the equally useless strike and...
I haven't been able to re-find the video, but there was an amusing youtube video of Aaron Berk freeing a very expensive Brutus from its tomb. He...
I'd like to free 95% of my slabbed ancients. However, I'm a bit of a klutz and I'm fearful that I'll damage some of the coins in the jailbreak...
That's a nice Christmas cion!
