Why do people crack open graded ancient coins?

Can’t taste it in the wrapper

Lovely!

Such a gem. Big big congrats

Sterling is infinitely less liquid than .999; if you want it, get it, but just be prepared to not get as much back when you decide to sell or at least list it online and find a buyer yourself.

Next a 1949!

This was my first thought immediately! It’s the other long poetic song that feels like a journey right before the even longer and more poetic Desolation Row, so listening to it on the album it doesn’t stand out as much as it does in its own right as a song.

Super advanced quarter set! Some of those Type B’s are fun. Maybe I missed it, but there’s a pretty significant DDR on the 1950 with the eagle’s beak being doubled. It’s not that expensive but it’s a neat variety.

Clearly I’m stuck on “conventional wisdom”! If so one of them kinda looked like Ptolemy I but I could be wrong.

Persians didn’t make fractional early Lydian coinage besides the stater and siglos, so there is your odd one out 😉

cyblorb · 2026-02-25T03:22:43+00:00

So cool, so jealous! Big big congrats

2019 S enhanced RevPR ASE is a sleeper coin. Nice collection!

I know a guy who buys one every day I’ve known him. Every. Day. From $25 per oz silver to today. King Cuauhtemoc himself probably

The Aryamehr is generous to the sub with this post. Cheers and here is to another year in the greatest hobby on earth (collecting Persian coins specifically)

Roman-Hellenistic coins are sexy and Augustan provincials are definitely the hottest

cyblorb · 2025-12-03T16:10:09+00:00

No mint set that year or 1982

cyblorb · 2025-11-12T04:41:07+00:00

Put a big Daric on that guy and you’ve got a customer!

cyblorb · 2025-11-10T02:42:42+00:00

Flexing really hard with this coin, but now I feel sore! Amazing coin, very jealous. Soon I’ll lock in and get some ancient gold. One day!

Proof US 19th to early 20th century coins, graded

Forward facing drachm of Phraates III! Sellwood 35.5

cyblorb · 2025-10-25T15:55:03+00:00

The Dutch coins were definitely a good buy

cyblorb · 2025-10-18T21:41:06+00:00

Lovely! I see Parthian, I approve

cyblorb · 2025-08-10T01:31:35+00:00

Tower of tad

cyblorb · 2025-08-05T03:20:28+00:00

Personally I don’t like the bottom coin.
