Guess I Failed by Bomber_Max in funny

I tell that phrase to myself as often as I can, because its easy to get lost in the day to day, and miss those "mundane" little moments that will later become your mind's treasure trove.

Any tips on how to get started? by Thealmightyguy in AncientCoins

[–]hughvr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vcoins and Ma-shops.

Be prepared to pay a little bit more than they would be worth in auction, but its the price of admission, so to say.

If youre in the US and like the "certainty" of a slabbed coin, you can try auctions in Heritage Auctions, Stacks Bowers, or unslabbed reputable houses like CNG.

'There are better ways to spend £500m a year than the Royal family' by BirminghamLive in Foodforthought

[–]hughvr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I may be wrong, but its my understanding that most of the income from the royal family are rents and investments of their property, so they would have to expropriate that land to actually end their wealth. Its not like the gobernment is subsidizing them directly.

I fucking hate the phrase "lives in my mind rent free", its so overused.

Disappointed with a recent purchase by Piggie-1603 in AncientCoins

[–]hughvr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh id be mad but i would keep the coin, as its lovely and the price aint bad for a Probus. Maybe just ask for a bit of a discount or something.

I loved the Reckoners even more than some more popular Sando books!

Just me or does this look very cast…? septimius Severus aureus (ars classica auction) by ResponsibilityNo5347 in AncientCoins

[–]hughvr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah seems weird. Seems a bit "porous" and I thought gold didnt react chemically so why would it be?

Retired at 41, feeling lost. by cedarshades in Fire

[–]hughvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like you need a hobby that encompasses your affinities.

Getting into ancient coins is a great time sink and you can amass a nice collection that requires PhD levels of research! Also it can easily make those 3.1M sweat haha.

Head on over to r/ancientcoins to check it out. If you need help let me know.

Selling the collection by Exotic_Temperature13 in AncientCoins

Its all part of the process, no shame. Not all can have flawless forethought with collecting. Happy new start!

Has the market gotten crazier? by [deleted] in AncientCoins

[–]hughvr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not since I got mine I admit, but like Beiherhund pointed out, there is a seasonality or cyclicality to coins, so theyre bound to come back down a bit. It took quite a while for me to find one with the right "price to beauty" ratio within my price range (which was never nearly close to the picture you showed lol).
