This is interesting! I don't think he was joking. To start such a business, you need to have some money at your disposal. You see can plenty of...
You're right when you say that the sellers offer a second chance for some coins. However, as a modest collector, my 'mixed' feeling comes from...
I've already visited the show yesterday. I've seen some interesting coins and will come back today in the afternoon (probably after the lunch)....
Congrats! These are great acquisitions and, btw, your gif is awesome !
I've also been clio'ed a few times (in CNG as well as in Nomos/Obolos auctions). This is the frustrating part of the hobby for normal people :...
