This will be my third coin that I have purchased from the x6 collection. MESEMBRIA, THRACE AR Diobol, 400-350 BC Corinthian helmet facing, N-I (magistrate) below META within wheel 11mm, 1.14 grams SNG BMC 270 (variant with letter below) A pretty scarce example with N-I which was some magistrate at the time. This coin also came with a COA from David Sear. I fell in love with this little silver helmet when I first saw it, for some reason the helmet reminds me of the movie Predator lol. Post what you would like
That's one of his wonderful coins I would like in my collection as well. Alas, Christmas time and short of funds means I only look at this time of year (of course, if the right MA legionary denarius comes along, I will find funds).
