I realize the coin is dark, but it is that dark in hand. I just reshot the coin and added it to the Tantalus site.

Post Phoenicia, galley coins if you so wish.

That's the coin you stole from my shopping cart! I was merrily strolling around the aisles of vcoins and you came by, swiped it, and ran to the checkout!

No hard feelings, though - just a little humor.

 

Yeah, that's hilarious lol. I remember you saying you liked this coin for the price. I actually had this coin on my wish list for awhile but it wasn't in that store for too long a time.

 

BTW, the coin should be listed in HGC Vol. 10 - I'll look it up later tonight.

 

You looked it up the last time. Valentinian has as well. Thing is that these coins are in a few books and they attribute them differently. In Sear I think it's 1/32 Shekel, in others it's 1/16 and the weights seem to vary.

 

Interesting coin.

 

Okay, I'll toss-in my lil' sweetie ...
