No need to leave this site over a trivial number! The count probably went down because the mods deleted your numerous identical posts (see the rules on double posting). You'll find that this is the best coin forum on the internet... |

| Just an FYI, no need to make 12 identical new threads for the same question. One is more than enough to get your question answered. |

Let's say you go into a coin store that you have never been into, you don't know the dealer, etc., and start browsing. Then you notice someone enter the store who wants to sell a reasonably valuable coin that they clearly know nothing about. You can't help but notice that the coin is worth over, let's say, $1000. Then the dealer offers the person $50 for it saying it is not worth more than that, knowing that the guy doesn't know much about coins. This is obviously a very bad rip-off.
So what do you do? Is it "proper" to intervene while in the dealer's establishment? Or is that considered unacceptable? What is the "right" thing to do? |

| My first was a coin of the Roman Emperor Severus II (c. 305 AD). After holding something that old and with that much history in my hands, I was hooked! |

| Definitely ANACS, they are the third of the big three (PCGS and NGC being the first two), and they are more well known/respected in the coin collecting world. |

Quote:
Sir Ferrari: "Greek Imperial" is an older term sometimes still used to describe Roman Provincial coins; it derives from the fact that these coins almost always use Greek lettering rather than Latin. The term is not encouraged among numismatists these days precisely because of the confusion the term "Greek" generates.
Ah, I didn't know that, thank you for correcting me. |

In my opinion, any coin worth less than $100-$150 is not worth getting slabbed due to high fees at the TPGs. Most ASE coins will be worth less than that, so to put it in your words, the upside is indeed small. But in the end, it's your choice what you want to do with your collection! |

Short for Dansco 7070, it's a coin album that is a United States 19th-20th century type set.
Every other album has a specific number, for example a 7100 is for a Lincoln set w/o proofs, and an 8100 is for a Lincoln set with proofs.
Here is a complete list... |

David Vagi's two volume series, Coinage and History of the Roman Empire, is fantastic as it not only references coins, it also gives an in-depth history of each and every person depicted on a coin. I learned quite a lot from these books...
Of course, you could always splurge and buy the RIC series, but that will set you back over a thousand dollars.
