Latest Alexandrian Tet.

Here is one of my older purchases I am just getting around to posting. Got it for $33 shipped & it got posted on wildwinds as well.

I own very few lady tets so it's a favorite to boot.

Cool addition.
She's one of the Empresses I need to work on. I do have this sestertius I'll toss in though.

 

Nice pickup @Mat, and now it's famous to boot.

 

$33 well spent! Awesome coin.

 

Wow, Mat! $33 landed for a TET? Cripes, I just commented to @randygeki that you were a great spotter! Nice job! I really like that Athena reverse. Regal.

 

I was surprised myself. One of those sleeper nights with no one paying attention. Gotta love when that happens.

 

nice! that's an awesome athena! "girl tet" is high on my list!

 

Hi Mat,

a nice Lady Tet

 

Nice coin at a great price. Great addition Mat

 

Nice => that's a very cool Alexandrian OP-addition (congrats, Mat)

$33 is a pretty nice-price for that baby

 

Wow Mat, that's a wonderful rendition of Athena!

 

You have an uncanny ability to come up with good deals for your money, Mat!
Excellent - Nice coin.

 

A keeper, and a cheap one, what else do we need ?

Q

 

Thats a lot of tet for $33.

 

Great detail on that coin - the crest on Athena's helmet is awesome.

 

Thanks, Everyone

 

I've got a nice piece of Julia Domna (billon tetradrachm), cost me $90 several years ago. At $33 that was a steal! Plus, great helmet design on the reverse!

 

A Julia Domna Alexandrian tet for $90? Even several years ago, that was truly a steal! Let's see it!!

 

Welcome ancient coin hunter ... ummm, have I already welcomed you? (a mind is a horrible thing to lose)

 

Would love to see it and get one for $90 too!
