Message:: [QUOTE="Brian Bucklan, post: 2455682, member: 76544"]It's been a couple of days now and I've stopped drooling over that Odoacer coin of [USER=75179]@Valentinianvs[/USER] so it's time to show the second best buy I've made over the years. I was looking through a well-known dealer's odds and ends many years back and came across a little bronze that simply said "unknown Greek coin" on it. I only had a somewhat passing knowledge of Greek issues but it just didn't look like anything I've ever seen. I was just starting to concentrate on the later Roman issues and it appeared to be an odd monogram, but I wasn't sure. I told him this doesn't look like a Greek type and was maybe Roman. He insisted it was Greek and said it's been sitting around for a year and nobody wanted it, but I could have it for $20. I took a chance and bought it. Here it is:[ATTACH=full]513789[/ATTACH] I think the late Roman guys can figure this out pretty quickly. Any best buy stories out there?[/QUOTE]
