I have a few things to toss into this thread :) First, not a Black Sea coin but something which brings me one coin away from completing a...
Fabric and style look fine to me. Were you wanting the specifics of the attribution, or do you already know that?
I'm still drooling over that Laodikeia! Wow-- the rarest one and it's by far the best of your bunch! It's definitely the queen of your Aegis set...
Unfortunately, these are still marketed as being issued by the last native Egyptian Pharaoh, Nektanebo II, but current scholarship suggests they...

Happy birthday, MagMax!

I was puzzled too and pointed out that where I live isn't really international for a US shipper, but apparently I was charged an international...
