  1. I am not sure who is smoking more crack the analyst or yourself that left 5-digit pre bids 2 months before the auction takes place 😁
  2. Is the attribution to Naxos supported by any references? Looking at the source of such coins dispersed in the recent years, Asia minor appears more probable...

    🍿 I am grabbing my 🍿 and wait for the usual reactions from dealers, their collaborators and dealer apologists
  4. It is called καθαρεύουσα and it was replaced by modern Greek (δημοτική) since nearly 50 years.
  5. Unfortunately I can't offer any help in attributing the coin but I believe you somehow got lost in the Google translation as what you tried to translate is not modern Greek. It reads M-Y grapes in a dotted border. A dotted border is described also for the other side.
  6. It is obvious that an imprint was taken before it was photographed by the first auction. The forger is basically the person who consigned the cast coins to cng and Roma. I would not be surprised if it is the same person who consigned the original to the first auction. It's pretty easy to find out who this is.
  7. Dealers constantly bidding in auctions are: 1. Artificially inflating the prices 2. Demotivating and frustrating collectors 3. Making it impossible to estimate prices real collectors would be willing to pay If dealers would offer fair prices, more collectors would sell to them or consign in their eshops. But no, they would prefer to offer peanuts but then pay 3 times more for the same coin when it gets in auction. And Shanna Berk is distorting the market and annoying everyone - except perhaps for her client.
  8. There are 2 reasons your consignment did not do well: 1. You won the coins in auctions and tried to flip them after short time. Do you think the underbidders whom you blocked from getting the coins they wanted, would happily bid again to give you flipping profit? 2. You tried to flip in an auction where the auctioneers themselves are also flipping and consigning. If you can't realise how the reasons above affected your consignments, you should better quit the flipping business.
  9. What will happen if he is ? He will block Atherton from biddr?😁 It's interesting to see biddr owners bidding in the auctions they host in their platform. I am sure they don't use any bidding information to their advantage. It would be also easy to return the coin, because otherwise a return is never accepted unless you get a statement from Sear; even then returns are not accepted by some auctioneers. 😁
  10. Also, this should only happen if you change pages very quickly many dozens of times over a certain period of time. This confirms my suspicion that the OP is an invented personality by an AI algorithm.
  11. It seems that dealers and flippers now found their Eldorado in French auctions. It's convenient because the provenance gets lost and victim clients can't find previous sale prices. But photos are low quality and "experts" used are ignorants. As a result happy flippers slab their wins and on many occasions get nasty surprises which lead to loss instead of the desired flipping profits.
  12. Where did you spot the medusa?! Why do I see the head of Hercules or Alexander? 🤔
  13. I think it reads NIKAIEΙΩN there's an extra "I' between E and Ω
  14. Forgers actively buy electrotypes and create from them fake dies. This is why electrotype prices suddenly went so high.
  15. New owner will probably be extremely happy, however cng consistently underestimate coins by 30-50% so I am not sure the consigner could break even 😕
