Thanks very much for the warning!
They seem to be all over the place, and they are not all the same. What's a good reference that might enable a novice to tell one type from another?
HYB apparently must be an abbreviation for Hibernia, and the term 'R' is for King (Reg), but how do you get the term "lord of" from DNS?
A well known dealer from PA, an advertiser in Coin World, whom I will not name here, advertises many of them in his price list, but those which I...
I also have Byzantine, Greek, and Roman coins, so no single book would suffice.
What do the words DNS HYB refer to?
The writing on these medieval coins is very hard to read. I have a dozen or so of the coins, but only five or six books. I often think that to...
say, VG to VF, or perhaps up to XF for some of them. They seem to be pretty hard to locate. Such coins as the 1892-O Barber Half, or the...
Both of them I own have a filled in S. I worried about their authenticity, until I noticed that all of those I have seen on Teletrade or Heritage...
Nice shots from the side.
I am very fond of the 1800 half dime, although my budget does not permit me to own many of them, and even those I own in very low grades. I have...
I've owned a couple, neither certified. Currently, only have one. Had no trouble selling the other one, but would be very careful about where I...
Try asking the people over at Forum Ancient Coins. Alex Malloy, who used to run an auction house for ancient and medieval coins, moonlights there...
I started bidding on Heritage about two months ago, and liked it, so I decided to try Teletrade, too. My mistake was similar to that of Mark_H; I...
The coin I bid on was an 1814 dime in VG8, which lists at $45, so I might even be outbid before the bidding is over, since S&H plus BP still will...
My bid was only $24 so it won't kill me. Maybe it will teach me to be more careful in the future.
I bid the wrong max bid on Teletrade - thought I was bidding on one coin, but actually was bidding on another, although, fortunately, the mistake...
So far, in my brief experience of a couple of months, I have found Heritage easy to deal with, even if I do have to include BP in the bid costs,...
So far I have done fairly well with Heritage, even including S&H and BP. I haven't seen much of interest to me on Teletrade, but haven't really...
I have lots of 'dogs' - an 1801 half dime, an 1803 half dime severely soldered, and a few with holes, including an 1865 dime, a three dollar gold...
Separate names with a comma.
