My mind = blown

 

I might pick up a few but I'll never give up my other collections! I call it expanding my horizons.

 

Hard to look left and right at the same time...at least that's been my experience.

 

Is it coming or going? I see it pulsing and I wish it would stop.

 

Envelopment

 

Not even the cash....

...the cash of this period...and one of the real Gems of the my collection...

"This coin is from the reign of Kublai Khan (Emperor Shi Zu) (1260-1294) of the Yuan Dynasty.

The inscription (je üen tung baw) is written in the Mongol script (Phags-pa). The equivalent Chinese inscription iszhi yuan tong bao (至元通宝).

The size of the coin indicates that it has a value of "2 cash" which means it was equal to two regular cash coins.

These coins were cast during the years 1285-1294."

oh man....that's weirding me out!

 

A neat Haul!

 

We all sound like drug dealers. "Just one time. They won't get addictive".

 

Thought I'd let you guys know that the Persian coin showed up! Looks awesome in hand (and while my photo certainly doesn't match the seller's, here she is...)

 

LOL, or the Pharmaceutical Industry...

 

That's a beautiful piece Fitz.

 

That is a nice coin. Many of them have lost their bows and few have such nice countermarks.

 

Thanks guys - I may have paid a little more than I really wanted, but I just felt like I couldn't let this one get away. Just wish we could learn more about the counter-marks!
