Ancients - CARTHAGE/SICILY-PUNIC Twins (Almost)

I recently acquired these two coins listed as Sicily-Punic bronzes. They are like coins except for size. One is 15mm while the other is 17mm. I'm not sure of the denomination since these are my first and only coins of this location/era. Each cost me $12.50.

Seems like all coins of Carthage are usually relatively pricey. Looks like you got quite a deal!

 

Wow, very nice! I was under the impression that these coins were generally far more expensive. I'd like a few in my collection.

 

Awesome coins jw, the details are great and the price is right...as Anoob posted before, a coin with two dates..

 

I'd forgotten about that. Thanks for the reminder.

 

Bing => $8 (delivered!!) ...... yeeeessssss!!!





ummm ... plus, or minus a couple of hundred bucks!!

 

Beautiful coins, brother => congrats!! (yup, you are definitely one thrifty dawg!!)

 

Wow, you got me on that one. I was screaming obscenities until I scrolled to the punch line.

 

Just a tab bit better detail little brother.
