    I am selling a couple of things that no longer fit in my collection or have been upgraded recently. Quite a wide range of things, so who knows, there might just be something for you! Shipping from the Netherlands (Unregistered to the US should be around 5 USD, registered roughly 20 USD). Some of the pictures are a bit on the dark side.

    1. Roman republic, Collateral Semilibral semuncia (217-215). Crawford 39/5, 6.94 grams. Turreted female bust / horseman with whip. Green, green and even more green. Not the most clear example, but you can’t do much better for 20 USD. Might have some beginning BD (?)

    2. Roman Republic, AE quadrans of Lucius Minucius. 133 BC, 3.86 gram. Bust of Hercules / Prow. Nice, 35 USD

    3. Roman Egypt, Salonina Tetradrachm, year 15 (= 267/8 AD). 9.79 gram, Dattari 5346. Bust right / Eagle right, wreath in beak, palm above. There should be plenty of detail underneath that gorgeous, albeit quite heavy two-tone patina! How about 30 USD?

    4. Byzantine, Justin II and Sofia AE Follis. Nikomedia mint, year 11 (= 575/6). 13.3 grams. Lovely dark green patina with some dark blue undertones. Nice and hefty, everything clearly legible, although the portraits do certainly lack a little detail. Therefore only 27 USD

    5. Myanmar, Pyu City state of Sri Ksetra (in the south of modern day Myanmar). AR full unit of 96 ratti = 10.24 grams. Struck during the heyday of these Pyu and Mon city states in the 6th century. Mahlo 48, Bhadrapitha (altar) or Ribboned Damaru (drum) with three lamps above, in circle of pellets / Stupa with with Sankh (conch) shell inside. Very, very slightly scyphate. Recently, the attribution of this specific type to Sri Ksetra has been questioned, since this type is found more frequently in the northern Pyu area. 95 USD
