I am intending to make an offer on this coin and I would like to know if anyone has a reason why I shouldn't, please? 131380784411

Hi, P.P. Thanks for the reply.
I clicked on your link and all I got was an image. No description. I am not sure what I am looking at, or what I am supposed to be looking for?

Thanks very much, P.P. and Ski. You have given me what I was looking for.
Can you please tell me how you found those references, please, so that I can look them up myself in the future? I haven't done much on 'acsearch'.

Just type in what you want to know. I typed in constantine vii and I suspect ski typed in the sear number.

I have gone into 'acsearch' and I have entered Basil I and I have entered Constantine, but I still can't recreate the list that you guys got.
Obviously I am 'missing' something?

Just type in Sear 1745 and it will bring them up.

P.P. - I must be going into the wrong 'acsearch.info' because I just tried 'Constantine vii' and of all of the coins (auctions) that came up NONE were the same.
What am I doing wrong?
I am off to try Ron's 'Sear' number.

With the 'Sear' number - 92 examples. Thanks Ski.
Now if only I knew how to do it when I don't have the 'Sear' number? Am I on the right 'acsearch' site?

$1,500 is a lot to spend on one coin on ebayThe coin that you are interested to bid on looks OK from this, and all of the other pictures provided. The next step is the check out the reputation of the seller. Do a comprehensive keyboard search on all other items sold and on the business itself. I have had a very quick and cursory look, and that area seems OK as well, so far. Make sure the money back gaurantee is valid. If you have any doubts if and after you receive the coin, take it to a bullion dealer and have it XRF'ed. Have it checked for trace metals other than gold. The ancients knew nothing of electrolytic gold refining. Modern coin gold is almost always pure gold, or more commonly an alloy pure gold and copper only. With any coin of this sort of value, always keep the sale invoice to help prove provenance. |

Don't get me wrong it's a nice coin, but if I were going to spend that much money. I would rather spend it on two or three nice Greek tetradrachm's. I would grab the nicest First Meris I could find for example. http://www.vcoins.com/en/Search.asp...OnSale=False |
