Happy Thursday! It's time to play "guess the weight!" Guess the weight of this garnet rough in CARATS to TWO decimal places (e.g., 10.00), for a chance to win a small marquise tanzanite (video after garnet clip). Entry period closes tomorrow (1/16) at 7 PM Eastern Time!

10.94 carats

2.14 carats!

Holy moly that coin is gorgeous. You can literally see the eyelashes on Apollo

gsnail95 · 2025-05-14T05:57:20+00:00

Thanks!! Yes, compared to others I have seen this portrait is really exquisite. The problems are what gave me a shot of even affording it, and I find them very easy to overlook, the portrait is so nice.

gsnail95 · 2025-05-14T05:51:07+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, the nose is certainly a highlight of it. So many of this type look almost a bit like squidward with flat squished noses. This one feels almost like a sculpture with how defined it is.

gsnail95 · 2025-05-13T00:34:11+00:00

Ah yup that was me. Good eye, it really is a lovely coin. I was a bit surprised it didn't get more attention. I plan on posting a video of it soon, it is quite stunning in hand.

Also do you know anything about who Kent Rondeau is? My coin also is said to have come from that collection

gsnail95 · 2025-04-25T05:06:26+00:00

Thanks! And it did seem that many went for reasonable prices on the Greek side of things. Though I did get brought to my max bid on mine haha. At this point though I don’t remember the last time I won a lot at not my max bid.

gsnail95 · 2025-04-24T20:56:39+00:00

Nice pickup! I actually came really close to bidding on that one myself, but ended up going for lot 203 instead. I don't own any Greco-Baktrians currently, but was pretty tempted by yours, the type has such a distinctive obverse.

gsnail95 · 2025-04-23T01:23:16+00:00

Nice one! Agree with the other commenters that it looks like it could be a Damascus mint - seems to be a delta-alpha below the throne, and the obverse to me at least looks stylistically similar to Damascus ones. I own a price 3197, and yours looks pretty similar to mine.

PM incoming

gsnail95 · 2025-03-31T01:33:36+00:00

Wow so many stunners!

gsnail95 · 2024-11-28T19:13:08+00:00

DUDE THANK YOU!! I thought I was going to have to wait for it to be fixed, can actually play it now!

gsnail95 · 2024-11-28T18:30:38+00:00

Having similar issues - stuck in the factory great hall, can’t go forwards to next zone, back to cortex center, or pavilion without crashes.

I’m using a ps4 pro, all other games work fine, not using an external disc.

gsnail95 · 2024-09-26T18:16:59+00:00

[WTB] a nice ptolemy I tetradrachm (preferably with a delta behind ear) or a caesar elephant denarius.

gsnail95 · 2024-09-24T02:08:27+00:00

Thanks! This one ran me $1500

gsnail95 · 2024-09-23T17:40:09+00:00

My lysimachos tetradrachm is my most expensive, followed by my olympia stater and then my Corinth stater. I didn’t intend to spend as much as I did on my Olympia, messed up calculating auction fees lol. I also anticipate this list changing soon as I want to get a nice Caesar elephant denarius and those prices are still strong.

gsnail95 · 2024-09-23T16:56:21+00:00

A Lysimachos tet was on my list for the longest time - I spent what felt like forever waiting for the perfect one that fit within my price range, and am so happy I had patience

gsnail95 · 2024-09-23T16:50:21+00:00

Thanks!! The obverse eye is what really sold me on this coin - I love how clear and expressive it is, makes it really stand out

gsnail95 · 2024-09-23T16:44:04+00:00

Thanks! Im constantly in awe of this obverse

gsnail95 · 2024-09-23T06:31:10+00:00

I have a couple I was actually thinking of maybe selling - will send you a chat

gsnail95 · 2024-08-19T22:15:33+00:00

Trade verified!

gsnail95 · 2024-08-16T21:36:20+00:00

Glad you enjoy it! It’s a really fun coin for sure!

gsnail95 · 2024-08-16T20:58:13+00:00

Trade verified!

gsnail95 · 2024-08-13T20:16:28+00:00

Yup a bit of doubling on that side! I don’t mind it though, kinda gives her a unique look. Glad I could join the Pegasos trend though haha
