<p>[QUOTE="Mrktstrtmyhm, post: 7295653, member: 118005"]So I made a "I'm a new here post" and said I would follow up with pics of my coins. Well I had to wait a month and a half before I could finally get home and open them up. During downtime while on my travel job, I would browse auction sites and ended up ordering this batch over the course of two and half months.</p><p>I was utterly astonished when I finally was able to hold them and see them up close. I can't believe the level of detail! And to imagine there are finer examples too just blows my mind. Also, I've never held gold or silver in my life so am super happy with the weight of these little guys. Hope you enjoy them as much as I am!</p><p>About bankers marks...I think they're pretty neat and add character to the coin. Is there a source to identify common marks? The siglos has one on the side and the lydian stater has three (one on the lions face, and two on the side)</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 16784]Lydian Stater by Mrktstrtmyhm posted Mar 23, 2021 at 5:04 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 16783]Lydian Electrum Stater by Mrktstrtmyhm posted Mar 23, 2021 at 5:02 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 16782]Umayyad Dinar by Mrktstrtmyhm posted Mar 23, 2021 at 5:02 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 16781]Umayyad Dinar by Mrktstrtmyhm posted Mar 23, 2021 at 5:02 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 16780]Persian Siglos by Mrktstrtmyhm posted Mar 23, 2021 at 5:02 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 16779]Athenian Owl by Mrktstrtmyhm posted Mar 23, 2021 at 5:02 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 16778]Athenian Owl by Mrktstrtmyhm posted Mar 23, 2021 at 5:02 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 16777]Athenian Owl Slab by Mrktstrtmyhm posted Mar 23, 2021 at 5:02 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 16776]Athenian Owl Slab by Mrktstrtmyhm posted Mar 23, 2021 at 5:02 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 16775]Silver Cob by Mrktstrtmyhm posted Mar 23, 2021 at 5:02 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 16774]Silver Cob by Mrktstrtmyhm posted Mar 23, 2021 at 5:02 PM[/GALLERY][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
