General Condition and Performance:
PHOTOS ARE AN IMPORTANT DESCRIPTION  OF ANCIENT COINS, as they have many more aesthetic variables than modern coins. Review photos before purchase.
Most of my coins are Greek Silver.
My coins have generally been purchased from first class dealers like Classical Numismatic Group (CNG), Nilus Coins, Harlan J. Berk, Malter, Sigma, Numistory, Antiquarian, MediterraneanCoins, Stacks, Edgar Owen, etc.
These vendors utilize Numismatic experts which are often world renowned or major museum experts to validate the authenticity of the coins.
All coins will come with the past seller providence that I have. This will include typically include information like the selling company, auction (e.g., Triton No.), lot number, other vendor identification, most of which is on the 2X2 vinyl flip coin insert. For higher value coins I will try to provide additional identification.
I will answer any questions to the best of my ability, but my information will typically be limited to the information that was available to me when I purchased or bid on the coin.
Conditions of Sale:
I anticipate customers are experienced coin collectors who recognized quality ancient coins. If you are not, resolve your questions before the purchase.
Most of my coins are extremely nice, artistic, much better than average condition and therefore higher cost.
Items are As-Pictured, As Described, **SALES ARE FINAL**. This is to avoid circular mailing of items that inflate my costs and are extremely time consuming.
RESOLVE QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BUY or BID.
Listing is usually for one piece, with multiple photos of the one coin. Rarely a few coins may be grouped.
My goal is to be a top seller and to have satisfied customers.
Look at my feedback AS A SELLER. I'm very proud of it.
