<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2068081, member: 19463&quot;]Every so often I get a coin and ask myself why I bought it.&nbsp; Today the mail included something much worse - a coin I didn&#039;t remember buying.&nbsp; It came from Upstate NY&nbsp; without invoice in a mailer with a name that mean&#039;t nothing to me.&nbsp; A little research showed that the name belonged to a VCoins dealer I knew by his business name.&nbsp; The coin looked a little familiar but I figured someone had posted it online and I had seen it in a long forgotten thread.&nbsp; More research showed that I did in fact order the coin back on December 19 and it was delivered January 23.&nbsp; I am ashamed that I had completely forgotten it.&nbsp; My research also turned up a note from the dealer back in August apologizing for having overlooked my paid order of July.&nbsp; That time I inquired after a month.&nbsp; I wonder how long it will be before I forget and order another coin.&nbsp; I can never say I&#039;ll never order again since he seems to get coins I want.&nbsp; The July coin was the Soter Megas I showed on a thread yesterday with square letters and the four prong Tamga obverse.&nbsp; Who cares about such things?&nbsp; That is the problem; I do.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin is lower quality than I prefer for common Samanta Deva coins but I recall now liking the round face on the horseman, the legend squiggle to his right and the bold legend above the bull complete with terminal colon.&nbsp; It is hard to get all these things and the bull&#039;s head, too, so I compromised and paid $17 postpaid.&nbsp; I believe the coin is Tye 21.&nbsp; I have one other on my B&amp;H page with the round faced horseman (most are long and thin).&nbsp; Did I need this?&nbsp; I&#039;d feel more justified if I could read the legend to the right of the horse but just seeing it on flan is a little special to me.&nbsp;&nbsp; Most people will be happier with a standard Tye 14 with the bull&#039;s head on flan but I know I am an addict and thought I needed this variation long enough to order it but not long enough to remember it had not come.&nbsp; Embarrassed!&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]382293[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
