Congrats! Nice obverse design.

 

Nice buy!!

I was outbid on my 2 lots in part 1.

 

Excellent horse.

I've been outbid on the two lots I had bid on

Q

 

I feel for you! I had a loosing streak of 10 outbids in four auctions. Finally ended up with getting 2 from Sincona/ this one from Leu. The Leu catalogues are beautifull

John, That's a great addition to your collection of miniatures ! Amazing die work for such a tiny coin .

 

Congrats!! I just snagged this one:



I blame @Roman Collector and his weekly Faustina Friday posts for this splurge buy

 

That's beautiful congrats

Q

 

Congrats @panzerman and @Restitutor ! Both are excellent. I keep getting blown out of the water on the lots I want, so no luck for me yet...

 

Restitutor, That's a stunning MS denarius with a very poetic reverse design .

 

Congrats! There is plenty of detail on a small flan.
I was up at 7AM to watch the auction. No surprise, the one I was watching hammered well above my max.

 

You should be thanking him! Great coin/ congratulations on your win

 

not a coin, but I waited until about the end of the auction to nab this one. My addiction to scale weights and anchors overlapped.

You can find more than you ever wanted to know about scale weights on Pondera Online (pondera.uclouvain.be). My weight is already posted there -
https://pondera.uclouvain.be/artifact/13355/

One quarter Mina (Tetarton) scale weight, Levantine region of Northern Syria, circa 250 – 100 BC.
Obv – Seleukid anchor, note that folks who publish this type anchor do not know which way is up. Some post it up, some down and a few post it both ways!
Rev – square lattice work with horizontal lines. Note I see more lattice work with lines on a 45 degree angle.
VF
Lead, cast
51 X 53 mm
114 grams, I am not sure what one Mina weighs, but Pondera has many 1 mina weights in the 440 to 470 gram range. The median is about 450.
