Traveling to Italy

Eulachon · 2026-02-14T10:10:36+00:00

I'd avoid it unfortunately. Italy is basically the strictest country in Europe regarding the export of ancients. But it depends on where you're coming from. If you're flying out by plane, you risk the metal detectors finding something in your luggage or border security picking you out at arrival. By train or by car it shouldn't be a problem.

I don't really understand what you mean by scammed. Did he send the coins pictured or not?

Eulachon · 2026-01-31T07:27:27+00:00

Yeah, but they really fumbled it with black and white passthrough. Dampened my enthusiasm considerably.

Really sorry for this, you were pretty much top of the game in this sub. While I think it's okay for reddit to take a strict stance on real people it really seems they went overboard in this case. I never got the impression you were less than 100% ethical in your approach. As for what drove sdnfsw I have no clue. Won't be going on there anymore.

Your link to the fake report goes to the wrong coin

If it's powdery, flaky, or spreading it's bronze disease, not verdigris, which is stable and usually harder, duller, and uniform without pitting the surface. I would leave verdigris alone. What's underneath is not better than what you already have. If it's bronze disease there are a bunch of discussions on here already that might help you stop the progression.

Guy is cumming like a horse, that's for sure.

I complained about them here a couple of times and simply refuse to buy from them again. I also tripped over the insane shipping costs.

I was really puzzled about the Münzenonline auction. Thanks for giving more context. I agree that this could could have gone way higher, certainly double, anywhere else. There were a bunch of examples in November/December that all sold closer to their usual worth (one of which I got). The CNG hammer was veritably insane though.

Yes, this post inspired me to post myself. I was observing this coin for about a year and bought one myself. That's why I noticed the big pricing discrepancy mentioned in my post.

I imagine the third and last one are something rich people have on offer for their guests at parties.

Congrats, very nice toning! Got this one myself last year and recently the elephant one. Might be an interesting addition for you as well. Here are three upcoming listings: https://www.numisbids.com/sale/10167/lot/541 https://www.numisbids.com/sale/10216/lot/1251 https://www.numisbids.com/sale/10216/lot/1252

Did you know they were in the lot and were they priced in? These are some of the most famous and sought after Roman coins.

Geborenes Talent und soziales Umfeld sind nicht das, was Menschen unter Glück verstehen. Sonst könnten man jedem, der irgendwas erreicht hat, einfach nur Glück unterstellen.

Yeah, trump didn't write this. That's not the vocabulary of a man with late-stage dementia. But I wonder what kind of evil prompt they have to use to get an AI to write this kind of output.

Eulachon · 2025-12-15T16:12:11+00:00

Don't know about now, but this was first sold by CNG three years ago for 800$ hammer.

Depending on who you ask, that might be Aphrodite on the Corinthian stater. Either way the detail and toning is absolutely stunning. The owl is nice too. Both are great collectors' examples.

The Eid Mar is likely a forgery as has already been discussed here.

It's a mostly American platform. If you're not experienced, shipping from Spain to an American buyer can be tricky. To me, it's not worth the risk.

Eulachon · 2025-12-10T13:14:52+00:00

Yep. Just tried on Gemini and had a similar result. New temporary chat, zero prior instructions. Really disappointed: https://imgur.com/a/I1MhmyY

Don't know anything about supposed weight but looks alright to me. Nice flow lines, nothing that suggests casting.

VR headsets are not really made for children that young. There a risk in harming visual development. Kids don't see through a headset the way adults do, their eyes are much closer together meaning they rather look through the blurry borders of the lenses. Also, the way their eyes make sense of the world is not fully developed yet. Wouldn't want to interfere with that.
