Yes, some very nice types in this lot. This is the "migratory period" group lot from today's auction. Congratulations!
This is the first coin that I have seen with what appears to be epoxy or some kind of resin filling cracks on the obverse. There's none on the...
Yes, you can get some good buys with the group lots in a Roma auction, if you do your homework. In the past they had some really nice Byzantine...
Yes! I had to treat one coin with BD spots on the reverse. No BD reemergence so far.
That's a very nice coin for this type! Here's an example similar to your coin, from today's auction: Artuqids of Mardin, Husam al-Din Yuluq...

I'm pretty much limited to my landline phone and my PC. I'm retired, so this arrangement works for me. I do have lots of emails and I have a...
So, it could be a weight.
Actually I think you might be more on target with Tyre, or Sidon/Phoenicia.
I'm incline to think it is Ptolemaic - from one of those old boys - but I can't say for sure. The flan measures, according to the seller, between...
So it seems.
I tried to directly paste the images into my post. That used to work before, but apparently no longer. So, I put them in Photoshop and saved...
