It sold for $16,000 in January, and he wants $50,000 in September? Not a chance. Not even for the $25,000 he's "willing to take". Ask him what...
I'm kind of twisting the intent of this thread, because I don't own two copies of this coin...but I've had this coin twice. I had the bottom coin...
Well, the thread title does say, "Aside From Coins...", so you're not taking away from anything - carry on with your Asian collectible posts!
Unless I'm mistaken (which has never happened in my lifetime, but I may be mistaken about that)...this is a copy of a lifetime portrait bust of...
Julia Domna's portrait on coins struck under Caracalla may not be as youthful-looking as those struck under Septimius Severus, but she was well...
