My soft-cover copy arrived a few days ago. I prefer soft since the pages are easier to scan. I'm going to return to the Bruck thread I started...
I don't think we should pursue this matter any further.
Sorry - I got you confused with a poster at FORVM. That's a VERY nice bronze of Aretas IV!
It might be something else as well - palm trees are found on other coins. One thing is certain though: it's not Judaean. There are no Judaean...
BTW, congratulations on that Nabataean drachm - a very nice coin indeed. You may have had more competition, but I got the hammer time wrong and...
Yes, much poorer condition is typical, from what I see on the market. And higher grades become prohibitively expensive, at least for me. These are...
That's a nice big coin, and the detail on the reverse is comparable to that of the obverse. What frustrates me is that often the reverse detail on...

Nice Steve. What's the second one? I haven't seen it before. No bank robbery. Sometimes I collect regularly. Sometimes I'm just not in the mood...
Rabbel II. That is all. Thanks to Al (askea) for drawing my attention to it! [ATTACH]
Let's just say a nice discount - considerably less than the going rate if you were to buy each coin separately.
Drawn and quartered!
Might as well, Steve. Between us all, I don't think we have many Judaean coins.
Ugh! I'm sorry to hear that! :mad: :(
A dealer that I've acquired some Nabataean coins from offered this attractive Prutoh starter set. For all my interest in coins of the Levant, I...
Here is my pic and full attribution. Unfortunately, someone cleaned this coin a little too roughly. You can see bare bronze in a few places - that...
I want Pishpash's coin, but in the meantime I'll post a poor example of Bing's Salamis issue... Kings of Macedon: Alexander III, 356-323 BCE AE...
