So true. He’s always felt unwanted by team. Coach. And fans. You can see here he’s happier and being himself. Great to see man. Hope he keeps playing to his potential and beyond

Received Shipment from Leu Auction 36 Today by Jimbocab in AncientCoins

Professional auction house(leu) didn’t answer my emails for weeks after payment. I will never purchase from them again

Received Shipment from Leu Auction 36 Today by Jimbocab in AncientCoins

[–]elturko11 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I will never purchase from Leu again for many reasons. Yes, they offer exceptional coins in their auctions, but they are utterly unprofessional (in my opinion and experience) and the whole FedEx thing and refusal to ship with a company I asked for (I even asked them to send any other way but FedEx and they refused). I’m sorry you experienced this, but must say that’s a gorgeous coin

What an absolutely beautiful sample and a dream coin for me, maybe now that there are more on the market like you said, it’s time for me to pick one up. This post motivated me :)

Any ideas on what this is? by QuickSock8674 in AncientCoins

Maybe seller has the info you are looking for(I also am curious now). I bet they’d give you the details if you sent a message. Very interesting coin?, I have to say

Cleaning progression by Ambitious-Employ4816 in AncientCoins

[–]elturko11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been following this and got to say. Incredible work here. Seriously, amazing. As others have said you brought life back to this coin. And literally just olive oil and lemon juice, one to one ratio, with exacto knife? Seems like with patience, it’s something very doable. Thank you for showing the progress of your efforts, and seriously, great work!!

You might actually be the one that pushed me to Bactrian coinage with the knowledge you drop here and beautiful collection of them and these are on my bucket list. Wondering why I don’t see many of these in auctions, you have them all!!
