<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1511845, member: 19463&quot;]5 kilos is an interesting first purchase.&nbsp; I assume you will be adding a pickout pot to the store.&nbsp; Usually the middle east lots will have a mixture including some Judaean and Byzantine as well as the vast array of late Romans in unidentifiable condition.&nbsp; These Seleucid Greeks tend to have the ruler name on the reverse with Basileus (King) but many are small flans losing a letter or two at one end or the other.&nbsp; To ID them you need to learn the upper case Greek alphabet and recognize the word for king so you can ignore it in favor of the name (at bottom on yours).&nbsp; The coins tend to use the genitive &quot;of King Alexander&quot; so your coin legend ends in POY rather than EP.</p><p><br /></p><p>Easy answer: post them here.&nbsp; We like challenges.&nbsp; Many will not be as clear as this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
