Windycity Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 10/02/2012 3:00 pm Two more Ancients from the collection I picked up... a really nice near mint state example of an Attic tetradrachm of Athens - Owl leaning right, two leaves and crescent moon. The second, an Aspendus Stater - wrestlers engaged - softer strike but great condition. Report this Post to the Staff

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 10/02/2012 8:49 pm I looked at your coins on Mullincoins.com. I think you have some wonderful coins and I take it you are selling them. May I ask how you arrived at the prices being asked? Report this Post to the Staff

harrison2 Pillar of the Community Mexico 1304 Posts	Posted 10/02/2012 9:07 pm Might want to check the specs on the Attic - Tetradrachm of Athens on your website. Its listed as "171,17 grams." Quite a monster, if true. Report this Post to the Staff
Windycity Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 10/02/2012 10:18 pm Corrected the 171.17 grams... that would be a large one. As for prices, they are mostly based on auction results and other listings. I have researched all in some detail and I obviously know my cost for the total collection. Prices do change over time so I'm sure some are high and others are bargains. What I don't know is whether many should be submitted to NGC for grading. Welcome opinions on that.

Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 10/02/2012 10:35 pm Everyone here will tell you, and I agree, that I am cheap. Not including the non-Roman coins or the Roman Gold coins, I personally think your Roman coins are all overpriced. Perhaps there is something special about any one of them that might cause the price to be so high, but certainly not all of them. Have you compared them to like coins being sold at Vcoins or Numismall? Certainly, I could be wrong on this, so if others care to add their 2 cents worth, it might help. Report this Post to the Staff
Windycity Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 10/02/2012 11:15 pm I welcome the opinions of all... my objective was to find outstanding examples in high grade and eye appeal. Report this Post to the Staff
