Leo Posted October 8, 2022 · Member Share Posted October 8, 2022 I dont generally buy coins in lots, but this one had some pretty interesting pieces that were missing from my late roman coinage set. So I decided to film the unboxing and the initial identification of the coins in question. Have you purchased any group lots recently? Maybe you have found a coin you really like in a lot? Let us know! Hope you enjoy the video 🙂 15 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerosmyfavorite68 Posted October 8, 2022 · Member Share Posted October 8, 2022 Those are a lot nicer than the baggies I recently bought. I recently sampled most of dirtyoldcoins' various offerings. Some were pretty delightful, others not worth the trouble. But I guess I now know what categories to get! Gosh, before that, it must have been Dr. Fishman, c. 2009. Those were cool; his $25 large folles were delightful! My favorite bulk lots of all time, purchased from Matt Kreuzer, c. 1998-9, were bulk bags of 1st-2nd (mostly 2nd) c. Asses/dupondii, commensurately sized provincials, and some small trachea, all for $1.50 each. As expected, they weren't magnificent, but they were quite nice for the price, most being a solid VG or F, the provincials having some patina left. Sadly, the As bag was misplaced in a move, although it's hiding somewhere. I had removed the better ones, however. I hid the bag too well while transferring things. It's been an enduring mystery. I've looked pretty much everywhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougsmit Posted October 9, 2022 · Member Share Posted October 9, 2022 Two of the last three large lots I bought were to obtain the same coin that was included in the lot and not respected as worthy of separate listing by the seller. I have posted them several times. Cohen listed the BnF specimen and the British Museum has two (as do I). Others? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulla80 Posted October 9, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted October 9, 2022 @Leo an enjoyable video and NF thread. I bought an interesting large lot a few years ago of 12 persian sigloi ex "van der Dussen" although they were unremarkable from a condition perspective, they included some interesting fourree coins and countermarks . all came with interesting holders indicating that they are ex Collection A.G van der Dussen 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
