General Condition and Performance:
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, like the original page from the original auction, etc.
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.
