DA new MOJO's

Ok, So, with the help of the mentor, I took his advice with bronzes and unattributed coins and scored on 2 out of five.

I didn't scan everything, just the five best coins of the day.

Now, I should note...Ardatirion is gonna be mad at me when he sees that last coin, but I couldn't help it. I mean, at just $95, I had to make this beauty my first ancient gold coin.





Ok, lets start with the cherry pics:


Got this one out of a bargain bin...rather uncommon mint:













Constantine II 317-337
AE 3
Lugdunem Mint




The second one, out of unattributed box:








Philip I
Have yet to attribute it though



Now....the Mojo's:



The first one, would not be in my collection without the help of a freind of mine (not supposed to mention names..lol) but, lets just say, this one was one that was on my list for a while..lol..and I finally got a stater. I paid a total of $80 for it .

Uteves Stater
480 B.C.
Obverse: Lycian Legend
Reverse: Triskeles in incuse square​

Now...time for my best mojo . I present to you, the first ancient gold piece to make in the stainless collection, at just $95...

Justine II (565-578 AD)

Very nice pickups Stainless :thumb:. I love the gold, I wonder what the % pure gold it is?

 

Very awesome pieces my friend, I really like the Stater. Glad you found some great coins to add to your collection . :hail:

 

The Constantine II is great shape. Nice little hoard you have

 

very nice !

 

Finally, you first gold!!! What a defining moment. Awesome! I really like that one before the gold one too. Starting to temp me! Maybe you can send me the gold piece, that will get me started for sure!

 

Very nice stainless! Those are some great looking coins!

AWESOME coins stainless. :thumb: If you need to find a home for them when they wear, (couldn't resist the pun), on you, lmk.

Thanks all for the comments. I did some research though on a few of them. Turns out I got the gold piece for almost 1/3 of what I can get for it (not that I plan to move it anytime soon).:hail:

Turns out, the dealer attributed the Lycian Stater wrong. One because of the rather smooth obverse, I am have much trouble fully IDing it.:headbang:. Still, I love the reverse, which is why I bought it. Plus, even if I can't fully attribute it, I got a pretty good price on it. But I all shall not give up, I'll find it eventually.
