$25.00 Go for it! Good price. :p I'm not the most experienced collector, but I'm pretty sure that isn't eBay.
This is a nice little video, but there was sooooo much more to it. I could watch an hour of this, going into great detail.
Ah yes - I forgot about king..., uh...what was his name again?
This first coin was mis-attributed to Aretas IV (9 BC - 40 AD). These types for Aretas are the most common of Nabataean bronzes. However, the...
Interesting variation in the lettering. I agree that SAB-SEB may have had something to do with it. I have a coin (from a consignor) with an...
I don't know the origin of the technique - perhaps it's Ptolemaic, but the earliest "widow's mites" come with the Hasmonean dynasty, so they would...
For those of you that are newcomers to ancient coins, the flans were cast and struck on sprues similar to this... [ATTACH] After the coins were...
The brothers IX and X had a typical Game of Thrones thing going on, alternately ruling the Ptolemaic Empire between 110 and 81 BC. In the case of...

Sometimes imitative engravers were so good at copy-catting that it's difficult to discern between imitations and official issues. Other times, as...
Who met a grizzly end on account of his hubris for challenging Apollo to a musical duel. Perhaps Marsyas didn't pick the right song? "Fire on the...
It's steep, but not unreasonable, considering the eagle DIVO CARO types are scarcer than the altar types, and figuring in centering, strike, and...
Right? The snout says dolphin, but the body says beluga whale.
It's a decent coin at a fair price. As in all genres of collecting, grade and price always go hand-in-hand. The phoenix types were minted by...
I think we're all surprised by new types on a regular basis, except perhaps some of the most experienced collectors. Who can see it all?
Another coin of Deultum I do have, with Telesphoros. Who doesn't love that creepy little midget? Let's see everyone's coins of Deultum... [ATTACH]
There's also the cupid-riding-dolphin type, which I think is unique to Deultum - I haven't seen it on coins of other cities, but that may not mean...
A nice example of a rare type, Philip II. This reverse was used by several other emperors, but it's very tough to find for any of them. Deultum...
[ATTACH] Phrygia, Apameia AE15, 3.86g, 12h; c. 133-48 BC. Obv.: Turreted head of Artemis as Tyche right. Rev.: AΠAMEΩN; Marsyas walking right...
She's never heard of a sister-wife? :rolleyes:
Separate names with a comma.
