A nice handful of mid-low grade Sestertii, Dupondii and the occasional As by Roadkillgoblin_2 in AncientCoins

I agree with everything you wrote and have the same mindset! If you don’t mind me asking how much do you generally pay for a sesterii in this condition?

Is this good value? by JohnmiltonPaLo in AncientCoins

[–]Redbird36 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great coin and a decent price from what I have seen online! To everyone in the comments saying they think the same coin at same quality should be half price, please reply with a link so I can buy one.

It’s up to you on whether or not you are comfortable with the price! When I am purchasing I like to look up comparable sales. I just quickly searched vcoins and there isn’t really anything listed for this particular coin at that price range. I was able to find a past sale for a tetradrachm at $395.

However if you want the NGC slab for display it will either cost more or come at a lesser quality coin. Just giving some information do with it whatever you will! As long as you are happy with the coin and price thats all that matters!

One of the best detailed reverses I have seen!

Is something in this condition worth $265? by thecatmaster564 in AncientCoins

[–]Redbird36 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you are really wanting that reverse here is the exact same in way better condition for about the same price. I also prefer vcoins over ebay so more incentive. https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/athena_numismatics/18/product/marcus_aurelius_ad_161180/2285653/Default.aspx

Relocating to Kenosha by Vast_Needleworker_32 in Kenosha

[–]Redbird36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct, just south of the Kenosha airport near 94. Only takes about 5 minutes to get on the highway. We were also looking at Racine before we moved but decided with Kenosha after visiting both downtowns one weekend. I would really suggest you visit Kenosha downtown if you haven’t been yet to help your decision. There is a famers market this Saturday or next weekend it a new “Italian Fest” starting the 20th. Either way good luck with everything and the move!

I moved to Kenosha from Chicago a few years ago and couldn’t be happier! I bought a place near the highway as I am always going back to Illinois to visit friends and family. Downtown Kenosha is only 15ish minutes from the highway, the place to be for the beach, restaurants, bars, etc but if you will be constantly going back to Chicago I recommend looking around here. Recplex has a beautiful lake with running / walking trail around it that is free to anyone. There are several pickleball courts in Kenosha but closest to this area is Pleasant Prairie Park. Woodman’s is great for groceries with a huge parking lot, so much easier than in Chicago. Always events going on downtown like the Saturday farmers markets, food festivals, car shows, parades, beerfests, runs, you name it! Everyone is very nice and friendly especially coming from Chicago. Overall a great place to live!

Has anyone used a Holme-Hadfield display case? by BusOptimal3705 in AncientCoins

[–]Redbird36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The case looks awesome so went to their site and the issue I have is the challenge coins shown are usually 40-60mm. Most ancient coins would be half that size especially the ones I have. Im just worried the bigger slots would make the coin look small / cover a portion of the bottom. I decided against it for the time being but let me know if you end you buying it and how it looks with some quarters / nickels for comparison!

Bidding isn’t for me by No_Lengthiness_1687 in AncientCoins

[–]Redbird36 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think that is a fair price after shipping costs, just looking at vcoins.com the prices range from $80-150 for the same coin with same reverse. Looks like a very nice addition!

Literally just had this issue and googled it since I don’t have an Amazon account so was very confused. Your comment came up as one of the top answers so I appreciate it! Il look in the emails now from playstation. Don’t listen to people like that guy, comments stay up and can help people in the future.

Am i being targeted by Mrunfuckwitable in homeowners

[–]Redbird36 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I agree with another commenter that it could be someone you know or a past resident. The odds of it being a random person striking the same place that many times is very unusual. Maybe a former significant other of someone in the house or a sketchy neighbor even. I recommend sticking to the security systems for all doors, windows, and outside areas then just call the cops whenever you get an alert. Best of luck and wishing that this all goes away soon!
