I did figure out the problem though - that coin came from an Australian dealer, which explains everything.
Lol. I'm not going to live that down, am I?
Steve, that's astonishingly good detail on a bust that fits onto such a small coin. The engraver was definitely an artist. I'll drag out one...
Great new coin, Steve, and a pride of excellent lions in the thread, kudos to all. I won't post all of my big cats, but this is the most recent, a...
Great coins, Bing, Doug, and Zumbly. Thank you!

Wait, there were people east of Arabia? :p I'm glad your revisited the coin - I must have missed it the first time around.
They don't get any better than that. On any given day, you can find a thousand of these types in F and lower, a handful in VF. It's a very unusual...
Beautiful coin! Am I understanding you correctly? You're winning half of the auctions you bid on? That's five times better than I'm doing.
THAT COIN IS FAKE!!! Lol, just kidding, but I rather like the old photo better - it's got more silver sheen.
This has always been one of my favorite pages of yours, Warren. But I'm not convinced your coin shows chi-iota. I've seen a few of these types...
