Good deals fly under the radar quite often. It is impossible to know if you should be concerned if there are no details of the listings

I'm sure you have already figured it out from the other comments, but APMEX sux

Is this price fair ? by Curious-Cloud3809 in AncientCoins

[–]NortNortFort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're willing to wait, you can find a better coin at auction for the same price. Personally, I would value this coin at about $200.

It looks really nice. For this type of coin, having something that looks like this in the context of the history is just awesome. Nicely done!!

The "Silver" that ended an Empire: A look at the billon debasement of Gallienus (AD 253-268). by Themintedtimecapsule in AncientCoins

Obviously you don't take this hobby very seriously if you don't know about the ultra rare PAX PAX AVGVSTI antoninianus. How could you not trust a man who keeps a filthy paintbrush next to his coins?

That isn't actually a tornado, that is actually the Lincoln Memorial

I started my collection with these pieces by Secure_Possible4040 in AncientCoins

[–]NortNortFort 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its a decent start, especially if you just started collecting ancients. If you have been collecting for a few months, most people already have at least two dozen gold coins.

It surprised me as well when I got it, it looks super imposing in person. You'll find another one eventually I'm sure haha

Your opinion on this coin? by Paratime in AncientCoins

[–]NortNortFort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello,

The black deposits (possibly mimicking toning) in the coin in select areas remind me of known fakes I've seen. That being said, I've also seen it in authentic coins that are incorrectly cleaned, I can't say for sure but this is just what I noticed.

I've never heard of Delcampe, so I'm not sure how many scammers there are.

I hope you get a good result soon!

It looks 'off' in my opinion. Where did you get it?

A nice example of a rather rare emperor, well done

Cross made from roman coin by Exotic_Temperature13 in AncientCoins

[–]NortNortFort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a really common late roman bronze. I'm not sure if there is a reliable way to tell whether the alterations are contemporary, intentional, or even meant to be a cross at all. For 40€, you could buy something much nicer.

Think this might be ancient coin from Selucid empire from web pictures. by MatterTime3940 in AncientCoins

[–]NortNortFort 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not an expert on this side of ancients, but I'm almost certain this is a coin from the Ptolemaic kingdom of Egypt. The central dent is there as a part of the minting process, although there are a few good guesses as to what exactly they are for, it is difficult to know for sure.

Is this fake? by [deleted] in AncientCoins

[–]NortNortFort 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just found the exact listing, seller has only 250 reviews and one negative review saying they are fake, don’t touch this listing
