The Great Khan

It went for a bit less than I'd hoped. I wish you were bidding!

@Loong Siew, most of your coins are far out of anything I understand or collect but I appreciate your writeups and this coin is particularly interesting .

@TypeCoin971793, I just noticed your hilarious signature line. Thanks for the laugh!!

 

$1300 plus buyer's fee?

Wow... I want one, but not *that* badly. I'll keep the draped bust U.S. dollar in it's "wish list" spot for now ;-)

Still, a very cool coin with a good back story.

 

If you can show me why the history of the draped bust dollar is cooler than this coin, then I'd be a little more inclined to agree eith you.

 

Touché, mon frère.

Your coin has more history... quite a bit more! I'm just working on a U.S. Type set so the D.B.D. gets a bump in that regard.

 

Well, so am I, so I completely understand the allure of a DBD. I just can't afford either right now...

 

I'm glad you noticed and I'm glad you like it.

 

Fascinating Posts!!

 

Thanks @TIF .. there are a treasure load of specimens and literature on Classical Greek and Roman coins here. Also I don't have a lot from this part of the world and history.. so I load a few from the East or uncommonly seen variants instead...

 

This piece fits nicely to my Historical Greats theme.. Hopefully soon a Charlemagne denier to close the chapter on the theme.
