    I always thought those coins were so weird looking that I wanted one. Been wanting one for awhile but haven't gotten around to getting one. Nice OP coin and a good story. Nice coins everyone else.

    I've always thought they were weird looking as well, but I have no desire to collect them either.

    That's an impressive $25 find! Also, I like hearing stories of how coins are acquired. I've received free key chains as gifts, but none that I ever wanted to use. I'd definitely use the one she sent you. :)

    Same here, also because the history doesn't appeal to me as much as Roman and medieval. But I do enjoy seeing Anoobs enthusiasm and passion with these and the other eastern coins he collects.

    I have one example like Dougsmit's Parakramma Bahu II. I always called them maze coins.

    I've had some oral surgery and complications that have been dragging on for a long, painful month. And I'm going back this morning for more, so it pretty much sums up how I feel at the moment.

    Say, that's not a bad idea at all. I wonder what the dentist will say when I ask him to shape my gold tooth into a graven image of Dushares...

    Ask for pain relief! God invented Vicodin for a reason.

    JA needs to rub the reverse of this coin on his gums 3 x per day, with plenty of wine.

    I've 'heard' of it, but I didn't recall it 'cured' everything from pain, fever to even warts....but now extinct.

    Well, there's still Vicodin!!

    Hope you feel better JA---I can too easily relate to what you're going through.
