[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 7395328, member: 91461"]Great score! I believe you stole that thing for a song. I almost bid you up on that but had already had some success. I do believe our strong suspects are that the coin was clipped (maybe due to being heavy) or chipped due to its crystallization. But like you said, in hand you'll be able to tell more. Today's bidding on a [I]blue[/I] auction was pretty cra cra. 10-20 euro coins getting chased up into the hundreds. Some really fun Neros slipped through my fingers. But that damnatio went for bonkers amounts(though, that cut is clearly ancient). Here is one of my snacks from today. Also crystalized but has the whole head. Excited to see her in hand. These little guys n gals always impress way more in hand as the eye cannot zoom in like this from a camera [ATTACH=full]1286705[/ATTACH] Ionia. Phokaia circa 521-478 BC. Diobol AR 9 mm, 1,29 g nearly very fine Savoca March 2021[/QUOTE]
