Wonderful coins! If the RR is your idea of an also-ran, I've got to up my standards. That coin would be a jewel in my collection.
Thanks guys. For the record, I sent the seller an extra $20 and gave him a bit of advice as to how to set up an auction, since he's obviously new....

In the case of coins like this one, that get extensively faked, I would rely on a reputable dealer, like CNG, or insist that the coin comes...
My second rarest is also Nabataean, possibly the third known example. Meshorer cataloged two examples of this type. I have found no record of any...
My rarest is the only known proto-Nabataean struck over a Seleucid bronze. I'm the first to publish it, on my website, here. Prior to the...
More than 3.50 Euros with shipping, but still not bad. eBay link
I don't see anything about the coin that screams fake. Weight is ok, style and fabric appear ok, I don't see any telltale signs of casting....
