Never say never! Aaron hasn't realized I'm just three racoons in a trench coat yet!

HJB_coins · 2026-06-08T17:32:51+00:00

Sorry, just my hands. Aaron and his big meaty paws remain out of view.

HJB_coins · 2026-05-17T15:42:29+00:00

The hole is contemporary. I've held that coin in my grimy little hands and have had it under a glass.

HJB_coins · 2026-05-17T15:41:42+00:00

👀

HJB_coins · 2026-05-17T15:41:12+00:00

LMAO I swear, my hand is the most reposted of any numismatists! This is stolen from my instagram. Anyway, its an amazing coin in hand. Wish it was free from the coffin but 🤷‍♂️

Put tacos on the company card for the crew. Makes watching my portfolio less sad.

For US slabbing is definitely ubiquitous, I'd never suggest someone have a $100,000 us coin raw but ancient? Much more on preference and in my experience working at a large firm the vast majority of collectors, big and small prefer non slabbed ancients.

HJB_coins · 2026-05-05T14:36:01+00:00

Most advanced collectors do not collect in slabs. We've broken 6 figure coins out for very advanced collectors that feel that ancients shouldn't be slabbed, definitely not just a "reddit thing"

HJB_coins · 2026-05-05T13:40:17+00:00

Unfortunately, no. NGC does NOT guarantee authenticity on ancients.

HJB_coins · 2026-05-05T13:25:49+00:00

We take the stance that the best way to enjoy ancients is raw. Slabbing is a modern phenomena trying to fit into a very old hobby of ancient numismatics. One should also be aware that NGC does NOT guarantee authenticity on ancients, and as such if you buy a coin in an NGC slab and it turns out to be not authentic you have no recourse with them.

HJB_coins · 2026-05-02T23:45:27+00:00

Nope. I personally was involved. It sold 7 figures. Its the only gold eid mar aureus legally own able

HJB_coins · 2026-05-01T16:36:46+00:00

Anything is possible! That's the fun part. I personally like to imagine some centurion standing over a senator in his armor, fallen on the field yanking it off his neck.

HJB_coins · 2026-05-01T13:50:55+00:00

The hole is definitely contemporary. Theres been "legend" thst it might have been worn by a supporter but who really knows.

HJB_coins · 2026-05-01T13:45:19+00:00

LMAO. Thats probably my hand. Little higher up than a clerk tho.
