<p>[QUOTE="Carausius, post: 2485389, member: 76440"][ATTACH=full]525147[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]525148[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]525149[/ATTACH] I have a soft-spot for Roman Egypt coins, maybe because they were an area I could afford when I started collecting ancients as a teenager. Currently, I make a point of acquiring provenanced Roman Egypt coins when I can. Why? Two reasons: first, they are generally scarce, because few dealers bothered to photograph the cheap stuff in the old days. Second, I'm convinced that there will be U.S. import restrictions on ancient coins from Egypt at some point in our future. When that time comes, I'll be ready! Above are a few ex Elvira Clain-Stefanelli coins that I acquired recently. I'm intrigued by the old collector ticket that came with the Claudius II, and which likely pre-dates the Clain-Stefanellis.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
