Thats mainly what I used to buy clean and sell with the guy I worked with. It was a lot of fun, its a shame the market went to shit in the last 2 years. We used to make 200-300 a day selling rings. When I left we were lucky to break $75
That fucking blows. There still seems to be some kind of market, at least, these days... Anyways - Continuum, R Complex, everyone else - I just got my first uncleaned Roman ring in the mail. I want to strip off the patina on this bad boy, but then again I don't. I don't know if I should keep it the way it is (cleaned, but with the patina as I've said) and still wear it. What do you all think? Edit - $15 USD. You know you all want to get one! Great American coin company - Google them if interested. I'm very impressed with what I got for $15. And I spent a whole 5 minutes cleaning it because it already looked decent. Fucking awesome shit!!!! Great conversation-maker for the chicks!!!!
hahahaha i was just thinking that myself, then i go to think what if you had a job in egypt or someplace digging. and you found the craziest thing worth millions that had some secret power. like the 11 crystal skulls i saw on ancient aliens the other night. edit- that ring is bad ass. I bet a gladiator wore it
Those crystal skulls are sick. AA theory is awesome as well. I would NOT doubt that something along the lines of what they talk about actually went on in the past. Who knows. But you CAN by Roman Archer rings - the rings that the Archers used. About $60. The rings have a shield on them. How can this shit not be cool?
Holy shit. I stripped the patina (on purpose). Great move! This thing is beautiful!!!!!!!! Just the way it looked 1700 years ago, minus the breaks in the metal!
Absolutely cool, you really don't know how tickled I am to hear of your fun and discoveries. I need to get off my ass and order some those look great.
Looks good, I cant say I've seen a ring that looks like that before. Our biggest sellers were gladiator rings and archers rings.
