Quote:I only just got my first coins in the mail yesterday actually. They are Byzantine cup-coins. Not the best quality, but I knew that when I bought them. I;'ve never been able to win an auction for anything good :x
I'llprobably get stuff more expensive through "buy now" option to get stuff. I think i'm going to start going for lots of uncleaned coins and get tools to clean them up. It would be like unwrapping a present at Christmas! Revealing an ancient beauty and art, so awesome!
Thanks for the replys everyone. Good luck to you all in everything you do.
You might try www.vcoins.com for higher quality stuff, it's a site with listings from multiple dealers. I've purchased a few things there with no issues, and I know a number of the dealers from other places and they are top notch. Some activity on a thread here inspired me to look for particular coins there, and I ordered two on Friday...one showed up yesterday, which amazed me.
eBay has been pretty dead as far as my interests go for some time, and good stuff does go for high prices there. Good luck!
I compensate for my ignorance by being obtuse.
