Adding my specimen to this wonderful thread: Pontos, Amisos, AE31, time of Mithradates the Great (Mithradates VI) (c. 120-63 BC), Amisos, 109-89...
For me, it took a month on average, sometimes two, even pre-COVID. Once, a package shipped from Hungary, stamped “Prioritaire”, showed up after 6...
Very nice, complete coin. The obverse has “Sanah Ahad” at the end of line 2. The reverse has “Zarb” (struck at) above the mint name, with the AH...

These are great results with the kit lens! While it won't match a top-end dedicated Macro lens in terms of image quality, I have found Canon's...
Amazing coin and an equally nice photograph.
Yes. Indore is the state, while Malharnagar is the mint. Many states continued to issue coins in the name of the Mughal emperor, even though the...
