  3. I have lots of mercury dimes (120ish) Washington quarters, couple of standing liberty. Low to medium grades only, but good prices
  4. What type of honey is it? Looks dark. Oak perhaps? How much the olive oil?
  5. What's condition like? Look a bit toned. Can you confirm?
  6. There was a large hoard of owl tetradrachms found in 2018, which drove prices quite dramatically downwards. They were made in the millions or at least hundreds of thousands, being recognised at the time by people over a vast area of Europe, Africa and Asia, and are still common today, even in good grades like this one, but still valuable and I feel now is still an excellent opportunity to buy one. Maybe a wise investment in that sense but that wasn't my motivation to have one. There is something about the quality of the art and workmanship, that was just astonishing for its time and continues to be. For me there's not much that comes close to it. Some might look at it and say it appears rudimentary, crude, childish even, but I'd say this work is a result of the both the artistic style of its age - the Greeks made astonishing art that has never been surpassed - and the practical purpose of a trade token that was respected and recognised across Athen's large dominion so had to be mass produced! To have acheived both in the owl tetradrachm is incredible to me. There is also something very beautiful in the symbolism in the design.
  7. Totally awesome arrivals today... a coin I have desired to own for a couple of years now. A dream coin in fact. An Athenian owl tetradrachm dating to 440-404BC, over 2400 years old! Absolutely exquisite! Amazing relief. And for a geometry geek this is unbelievably cool. A first millennium 10 dirhem polyhedral weight, I believe used to check against coins. They come in many shapes... I see a new collection in my future....
  8. Unfortunate timing as I have just sold all my UK predecimal coins. Will be getting more in shortly though in all likelihood.
  9. Don't actually know. It just mentions that in the manual. I do what I'm told and don't think too much
  10. Try sandwiching with the callibration disc behind it. May pick it up but half grams are very thin and small
  11. Welcome to the forum! Definitely sovereigns are the way to go. Buy from a reputable dealer to avoid fakes.Are you wanting to get a mix of gold and silver or only gold? I would say with gold near its all time high it may not be best timing. Though of course it could only go up from here - who knows. If you want a speculative bet, maybe platinum is worth putting in 5-10% of your money? Seems cheap right now (has been here for about 10 years mind) and may gain with rising demand for hydrogen generation in the coming decade. Weirdly platinum is less volatile than gold of late.
  12. The offer is there to mintage seller. He is probably busy fighting off werewolves and got no ammo but one way or another I'll make sure this is sorted in time. His need greater than mine clearly
  13. I'm not precious about it @MintageSeller if you want it for £417/8
  14. I believe minimum focus distance is measured from sensor to focal point and with a bulky DSLR body and lengthy lens in front, that could end up being pretty tight even with a 30cm MFD - so that's an important consideration.
  15. That sounds really useful. In particular I would be interested in your thoughts on lighting as well.
