Even though they're not Nabatean, this is where I post my brockage errors (hey, ya gotta, right?) ... please try not to judge me (I'm havin' fun!!) ...
Nice Steve. What's the second one? I haven't seen it before. No bank robbery. Sometimes I collect regularly. Sometimes I'm just not in the mood for a while, then I explode. I'm not done yet, either. I'm going to the Baltimore show at the end of the month, and hopefully I'll come back with even more.
I don't go out of my way looking for errors, but this one is distinctive AND Nabataean. A double threat.
L. Thorius Balbus Brockage Error 105 BC Juno/Goat & Brockage Error Ummm, here is the "non-brockage-error" version ...
I see brokage coins once in a while, but generally the bidding goes too high for my taste. Yours is an interesting coin even though I do not collect Nabataean coins.
The original RR Balbus is a beautiful design: L. THORIUS BALBUS ROMAN REPUBLIC; GENS THORIA AR Denarius OBVERSE: Head of Juno wearing goat-skin headdress, acronym I. S. M. R. behind. REVERSE: Bull charging right, F. above, L THORIVS below, BALBVS in exergue Struck at Rome 105 BC 3.92g, 19mm Cr 316/1, Sydenham 598, Thoria 1
those are so neat..a brokage coin is on my list! cool new nabatean JA, and cool coins of all types everyone else!
