Yes! I had to treat one coin with BD spots on the reverse. No BD reemergence so far.
That's a very nice coin for this type! Here's an example similar to your coin, from today's auction: Artuqids of Mardin, Husam al-Din Yuluq...
Yes, I noticed that. So, perhaps we are looking at a bidding war between specialized collectors. Who knows?
Yes, it does have a lot of character and appeal. I've seen this type offered through MA Shops and Vcoins at a fraction of the hammer price....
My bids, except for one, were wiped out in very healthy bidding. I am amazed at some of the hammer prices, notably for some Islamic coins: 1)...
This is my lone prutah. Judea, 103-76 BC Hasmonean dynasty AE prutah Alexander Jannaeus (Yehonatan) Jerusalem mint Obverse Hebrew inscription,...

I'm incline to think it is Ptolemaic - from one of those old boys - but I can't say for sure. The flan measures, according to the seller, between...
So it seems.
I tried to directly paste the images into my post. That used to work before, but apparently no longer. So, I put them in Photoshop and saved...
I got an email today from an eBay seller who just received this strange, very crude coin, which I think is actually a coin weight. Here are some...
I'm worse, I guess. I actually talk to them. When there's an argument, the odd thing is that the coin always wins.
I guess that, as we're well into the 21st century, I have remained something of a Luddite. I don't own a cell phone, smart phone or iphone, just...
Separate names with a comma.
