Given the invoice amount they required me to pay via bank wire, so no Paypal protection here unfortunately.
Very disappointed and surprised! Here's the ($5k) coin I purchased (link). [ATTACH] Julius Caesar AR Denarius. Rome, January - February 44 BC....
Thanks for the reassurance all. I did think it a bit odd that these $30 coins would be faked, but the weight thing had me concerned. Didn't...
I recently won a bulk lot of silver antoninianii from Leu Numismatik, my first time buying from that auction house. The vast majority of the coins...
Seems like eBay calculates and collects VAT from the buyer during the checkout process until a seller reaches 10,000 euros in (annual? not clear)...
I sell some coins on eBay, and was previously using eBay's Global Shipping Program, which was recently changed to the International Shipping...

I've been thinking it would be a fun challenge to complete an entire set of imperial denarii by emperor. Anybody completed that set before and/or...
I just purchased this Geta denarius from a CNG bulk lot and was surprised to find that it weighs a whopping 4.63 grams! The flan is slightly...
Another one I'd recommend is Paint.net (not the same thing as Microsoft Paint). A friendly and not too overwhelming UI, and very robust...
The mid-late 19th and early 20th century was an especially productive period for beards and facial hair. Given most of these rulers were related,...
You can either adjust your white balance on the device itself (phone or camera) or in an image-editing program once you upload it to your...
