<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 3590206, member: 72790&quot;]OK, not an earth shaking story here, but an interesting one, for me, anyway. I recently purchased a couple of common coins, Kingdom of Pontos, city of Amisos,[ATTACH=full]959265[/ATTACH]&nbsp; time of Mithradates VI, Sear 3642, a common coin of antiquity. The gentleman had about thirty of these coins, all with considerable wear, but nothing rough or corroded. I found them attractive (very important to me) and the connection with Mithradates VI (the Great) a nice plus. The guy had no other coins and did not in fact ever collect any coins. He did some contracting work&nbsp; and was offered payment in these coins from his client. I don&#039;t know how much was owed but I&#039;ll bet it&#039;s been a long time, maybe 2,000 years or so since these coins were offered in the marketplace of commerce to settle a payroll debt. By the way, that&#039;s an advancing Nike on one side and a Gorgon on the other.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
