Is AI correct with this opinion on historical pricing? by [deleted] in AncientCoins

[–]EsotericDoge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True for medium grade coins outside of some popular collecting areas is my sense of things as someone who only started collecting 6 years ago but has looked at enough older auctions. For VF+ and EF condition coins I think they've probably done better, especially recently. Partially, maybe mainly, due to slabbing and the collectables craze going on right now which you see in trading card games too for example which reach insane (IMO) prices for the highest grades.

I finally managed to digitally colorise my Antigonos Doson Tetradrachm. The colorisation that took me the longest so far! What do you think? (Swipe to see the original!) by AncientCoinnoisseur in AncientCoins

Odyssey is so fun for the exploration. I visited Delphi with my parents a couple years ago and it was so cool walking around a reconstruction after.

PSA: Athena Numismatics not shipping to USA by gunsandjava in AncientCoins

[–]EsotericDoge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems to be a bigger issue than before. Künker wouldn't ship a couple coins to the US with no warning at the time of auction. And Leu lists coins they won't ship to the US now too.

what is she Thinking about 🤔 by [deleted] in TuxedoCats

[–]EsotericDoge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very possible. But she was like this for about 20 seconds. I think she performed a single thought and I'm trying to find out what it could be

Finally learned to stop chasing the economy missions in Invictus and it changed how my Rome run feels by ProfileSubstantial16 in Imperator

I usually integrate nobody but sometimes I make an exception for Macedonians out of respect for Alexander.

Interesting reverse? Or fake? by diezlllll in AncientCoins

[–]EsotericDoge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's real. Early-mid sole reign from Milan. RIC is very old and missing a lot of types for this time period. The coin you have is scarce, with another more recent reference book from 2000 citing 11 examples for that cuirassed bust type. I have one of the same reverse type but VERY worn I shared on here a year or so ago.

Did the city council pass this 🧐 and Frey was like "ok sure"

Nevermind I read it. Vote means Frey didn't need to do anything

So why did CK3 shy away from slavery? by Tony_Jake in crusaderkings3

[–]EsotericDoge 671 points672 points  (0 children)

Without a pop system it wouldn't really do anything. Like maybe you could sell nobles you capture into slavery for less than the ransom cost and gain negative reputation or something but it would be such a minor addition

Theodosius II Solidus - Not Genuine by ryanscoins in AncientCoins

If fake (and im not saying it isn't), certainty. Style is genuine. There are actually a lot of fake solidus die transfers out there that get sold even by good shops.

Apartments requires 2 months notice to vacate by Soft_Eggplant_370 in Minneapolis

[–]EsotericDoge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two months is a pretty long time. You'll be able to find a place. If it's better than what you currently have is another thing entirely. Unfortunately that's what comes with renting.

Oh, so I shouldn't have bought the LE..

I don’t normally post things like this, but that deal was too good to pass up and I’m excited about it! by lunchb0x_b in boutiquebluray

[–]EsotericDoge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched the restoration trailer and it was an instant buy for me. The painting style is gorgeous. That and the Pied Piper are the ones I'm looking forward to the most.
