It's strange to me that KZbin blocks that word. That act exists, it's not like you're glorifying something by saying it happened!

I'm new to investing and I've lost a good sum trying out strategies I found in an online tutorial. I would sincerely appreciate any recommendations you have.

For that type of money I would expect both sides of the coin to be immaculate and perfectly centered with full legends. This coin doesn't meet that standard so it shouldn't command such a high price. But as you said, 2 or 3 people felt differently. Would I pay that much even if I had the extra income to do so. No. Many other nicer coins to be had.

First off, CONGRATULATIONS on 50! Here’s a thought: Aaron you ought to set up a PPV discussion/debate with David Vagi over at NGC. I would buy that show…….Just a thought. Good luck, guys, for the next 50. Best wishes as always, Fred from Esmont, VA

Well...at least you spent $$$ on a coin, not plastic 😎

The style of Trajan coins isn't up for debate and has been generally lauded in numismatic literature for decades. Even accounted for that the price is grossly inflated

I think you proved your point that $3,800 was too much to pay for the denarius when comparing it to the three denarii of equal quality that sold for much less 😉. Some collectors are willing to forgo common sense if they really want a coin at auction, myself included 🥴.

Great purchase indeed, art is the most expensive luxury item there is

It is a great work of art, so I would say not a doofus purchase.

Love what you said about rich people that look like humble bums.. thats probably why they maintain their wealth.

Oh I love these shorter videos from your podcast!!

oooh nice 🍯🐝🌻

So cool thank you ❤

❤❤❤❤❤❤

i found this video at the end of the last page of the search results for 'ptolemy'

super cool video its odd to me how reasonably priced these ancient coins are if comparing to something modern like hockey or baseball cards both are cool hobbies or interests to have i suppose. to each his own. keep on putting out these videos Aaron, I learn something new every time. Thanks!

2400yrs old, such an amazing art, and the similarity of their inscription to aramaic, and modern hebrew is much closer than phoenician and ancient hebrew. also the words themselves. it says kart-hadast which means a new city. in modern hebrew you would say kirya-hadasha, and a vilage or city in modern arabic is still karya. and the reverse is even closer- mahanat- mahane in modern language, a camp, and in biblical meaning also were the army or people park along its voyage from time to time

Great video! I was wondering if a birch wood cabinet would be safe for storing ancient bronze and silver coins?

Awesome segment, I hope there's more clips from the podcast coming!

What about ziplock bags?

I have begun storing my coins in the wood coin stackable trays. For my coins I haven't stored in the tray, I use the archival paper flips. Great advice again! Thank you

Sodium sesquicarbonate is a common treatment in coin cleaning circles for bronze disease. It's a tricky thing to treat but you do what you need to.

Love toned ancient coins. Cool video & good info

I might consider a dessicator with dessicant for coin storage if we need a very low humidity environment for the coins.

Good advice!

Doesn't NGC have NCS, their coin "conservation" service? Do they basically condemn any coin they didn't work on?

Excellent as always gentlemen!

Congratulations for the 50th episode. I watch you guys since the first one

Great show guys!

गुड न्यूज ❤❤❤🎉

Congrats on 50 🥳

One the best shows of the whole set. I really enjoyed the look back at the previous auction highlights. Seeing the results provides a good continuity between episodes. The candor, humor, and expertise are what I’m here for. 🎉

I still get excited for new episodes and I've watched all 50. I learn something new in each one.

Can’t wait for 50 more! Great episode! It is always a delight and well worth the wait between episodes.

What happen with Sear?

Here's to 50 more, and please take your time. Better to do the podcast sustainably than burn out trying to feed the algorithm.

Congratulations 🎉! I really enjoyed your candid perspective on the ancient coin market. Keep up the good work.

I despise all these companies that are slabbing ancients; they seem so shady.

Loved this!!!! And love you ❤

Congrats on #50 podcast 🤩! Your auction reviews are especially helpful for us collectors who may not have the time to cover all the important auctions taking place 😉.

Interesting comments on the grading service notes. As a novice I love slabbed coins, and just enjoy the coin regardless of the grade. (The only thing I'd really care about seeing on the slab is identification and authentication.) But I can see how a person with a mind to sell/trade may have a distaste for the "gambling" on the judgement of the grading services.

Congrats on your 50th! The visual format is looking good 🙂
