It doesn't appear that the Poles vary the design of their eagle at all - whenever it appears, it is always the same.
Medoraman and I may be the only two posters on this forum that take any interest in the Nabataean bits of junk most other collectors would be...
Very well-said, Bobbyhelmet.
You're a hoarder and I have an idea how much you spend on coins, so I'm going to go with 17 coins, $1500.
