Joe, Just as a point of reference, in the new Sear, #1924, looks very similar to the listed coin. Same mid-age portrait, same reverse. At least it is not a...
Also the lettering on the reverse l;ooks funky and not correct style for the period. ... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1357536017 ... ...
Joe As to the graininess, it looks like it is mostly confined to the one corner, on both sides. The coin could have been heavily corroded in that area prior...
If you are going to accuse this seller of using Shill-bidders, can you please be more specific and provide evidence to support this. Simply saying it is so...

I don't read these groups often, but I did look back in the archives the other day and saw that my drachm was questioned as being possibly not authentic. So I...

Hi ACFDL members, I would not doubt the denarius shown on this list by s_uhrick, from the photo, and if I did not have experience already with this engraver....
... Alan is correct here. There are actually three Thasos coins illustrated (#1326, 1357 and 1361) and none show this feature. However, on page 137 there is...
Now that I look more closely, there is a very faint bracelet on #1746. One has to look very close to see it, but it is there. Robert ... Robert Kokotailo ...
This is the reverse of a replica: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/reidgold/coins/fantasy.jpg Is this just a fantasy design, or has it or something like it...
