Appears to me to be an image of the colosseum shrouded in a heavy fog… may be worth it 😆

Welcome to the forum, glad to have you here! Bumping to the first page as I missed approving this Friday, my apologies!

How cool! Also always find it frustrating how few photos these articles always contain! 😫 Hopefully more come out soon.

My husband and I became "pawrents" recently. This little bundle of joy has been consuming every hour of our awake time ever since! She's a pure Golden Retriever, just turned 10 weeks old; Carmella is her name. Truly an absolute angel - potty training on the up and up, near perfect acclimation to crate training, almost no barking or biting. Just itching to get to her week 16 so she can get fully vaccinated and go on walks where we aren't having to carry her! (At almost 14lbs she wears the arms out quick). But at the same time, naturally want her to stay in this cute puppy phase as long as possible! 🥰

Bumping up as I ran behind on approving this post. Apologies

August is notoriously slow for European companies since seemingly the entire continent gets the month off. And if you’re detecting some American jealousy, I am very jealous indeed 🤣

It's been a minute since I've checked our standings in the google search results, and I do believe we're now showing as the #2 site* for 'ancient coin forum' search results, but curious what others are seeing 🙂 *Since Forum Ancient Coins is showing up twice I'm counting us as #2 from a unique site perspective. I'm also seeing us as the 5th result for a generic 'coin forum' search which is cool 🙂

I’ll investigate this today, the Cabinet should be back to normal after the down time a few months ago.

Time to start moving them over as new posts once CT is back 😁 With all the new members here I’m sure lively discussion would occur 🙂

It should be working - are you getting an error message?

My account shows shipped but interestingly I didn’t get any email notification and tracking number returns “no shipment found” when entered on the Swiss post tracker site so it must have just shipped out. I paid on Jul 26.

Thank you and to all our financial supporters here who allow me to keep this site totally ad free! I swore when this site started that I’d never let an ad on here as it is my biggest pet peeve with the internet now-a-days and that promise will never be broken, no matter what.

RIP in peace

Leu is the only auction house I engage with where my default MO is to approach auctions like shill bidding occurs. With that said, whenever I start feeling that way, I’ll win a coin significantly below my max bid and am left scratching my head. I do believe more transparency around bidder IDs would help. CNG gives you a paddle # so it’s easy to see who is winning each lot. But then I ask myself: if I knew that all lots where I thought shill bidding occurred were won by the same paddle, what does that prove? I just wonder if Leu attracts a certain clientele with deeper pockets and so the feeling of shill bidding occurring is the natural outcome. Unless hammered coins show up re-listed in subsequent auctions, I don’t see how shill bidding could be proven outright. Even if the person bidding you up was the same for each coin, you yourself are also bidding on all those coins, so maybe it’s just your doppelgänger? 🙂 So, all this head scratching does is guarantee that I’ll never place a bid in a Leu auction with more than 10-15 seconds left on the timer. That’s the best safety precaution I can think of. And it’s worked out pretty well; about half of my collection is from Leu at this point and nearly all of them I’d say I won for a fair price.
