Hi @caloundracats it was a private listing not a dealer he only has a few silver coins which are not much of a deal but he does have a 1kg Umicore silver bar for £458 or best offer might be a deal too be had? with 15% off and top cash back,

Well i got a bullion 1908 sovereign for £208 delivered not a bad start too the weekend

Hi @Numistacker I have quite a interest in historic and ancient coins, When you consign coins too NGC do you have to provide all the information and details about the coin or do they do any research on your behalf? And do they have the knowledge to spot fakes? Ancient coins can be a mind field. do you have any more info on the Denarius?, I am guessing its a rare Denarius of Tranquillina wife of Gordian III with the goddess Concordia on the reverse struck 241AD. I look forward too seeing the results

Time to check your eBay account i had today, £10.00 off your purchase of £30.00 or more. includes most categories, i just brought some scrap gold under spot 🙂

Hi @PansPurse the COA was issued by

well if it weights 15 grams its a roman Dupondius still brass sorry couldn't tell the size from the pic

it should weight 25-28 grams

The coin is a roman Sestertius made of brass, and at a guess you found it metal detecting and the shiny bits are were the digger was not the best and caught it with the spade,if i can see the reverse i will Id the coin for you

@Micky9776 the old looking coin is a modern copy of a late Anglow saxon hammered silver penny of Aethelred II. It will probably have WRL stamped on it some were Westair Reproductions Ltd

@mr-dead you could always try Hatton Garden Metals they sell second hand and new jewelry?

There English, all silver penny's two at the front left are both Edward III i think Long cross one is Canterbury and York Mint , the two cut half's are Henry III long cross and the last is too clipped and worn
