  1. I guess it was a dark time for coins.
  2. It will make it harder for dealers. It will raise premium prices. It may benefit already established collectors by raising the value price of certain coins. I don't know. Time will tell.
  3. Exactly what I saw as I skimmed this. Altho not begging, helping himself while owner is away
  4. At first glance, I feel bad for him in a way, at second glance, this is not his first forgery of documentation. Which to me is a cardinal sin in the hobby. But, does the punishment fit the crime? Probably not.
  5. looking at the past few pages, got me thinking how extremely difficult it must be to like LRC's 😄
  6. This corroded coin in style of Corithian from Akarnania, not sure of exact attribution, mainly because it's under weight. (7.xg) Possibly Argos Amphilochikon, Akarnania, AR Stater. Ca 350-270 BC Pegasi/Argos 3 BMC 1-2. With off strike decapitation. Definitely not perfect
  7. Who is selling it? Maybe you can make a $20 deal for a scan of the said page(s)?
  8. Only believe a fraction of what you hear and half of what you see... Or something like that.
  9. Nice, pretty good imitation, kinda like the Philips, which were also very good.
  10. My first didrachm and Ptolemy coinage; I bought it because I really like the bust. Ptolemaic Kings. Ptolemy VI Philometor (second sole reign, 163-145 BC). AR didrachm (20mm, 6.49g). Uncertain Cypriot mint. Struck in era year 102 (161/0 BC).
  11. Interesting chip, how much did u save because of the damage?
  12. Domitian looking like he is not playing around.
  13. With ancients, harshly cleaned means scratches to me, but if its just to bright, but the surface is good, no biggie, any original luster is usually gone anyway, and it will retone, naturally or you can speed up the process.
  14. Any "technical issues" falls in the responsibility of the auction house to correct or not. Weather they want to take action to fair the field is on them. Sometimes shit happens and u eat your lose or gain. It should always be fair across board. Judge the auction house, not the customer. Was the action they took or lack off fair? U decided as FUTURE service user
  15. Nero had some great coins, congrats in this beauty.

    This is NOT a NewStyleOwl!
  17. Amazing style. Might as well be Greek! Grats.
  18. Even Alexandrian tets look just like pius, his distinctive image can't escape any style.
  19. What an amazing example, just wow.
  20. @Ursus I absolutely love that drachma! Let me know if you ever wish to part with it!
  21. I see where Nerva's nose was inspired from, amazing portrait on this coin btw
