Message:: [QUOTE="Parthicus, post: 6609099, member: 81887"]Looks like a lot of people are assigning this coin to me by default.  As my idol Homer Simpson said, "De-fault! The two sweetest words in the English language!"So, most people resisted assigning me to the beautiful Sicilian AR tetradrachm and EL 50 litrae, despite my affinity for Sicilian history and coins?  So you're saying I'm a slob who can't afford high-quality coins? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />Hmm, let's see, what else to convince people that #5 is not my coin?  Well, Mithradates VI, as his name implies, claimed Persian descent, so... Wait, that's the opposite of helpful to my case. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie10" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />  Note to self: Delete this paragraph before posting.[USER=87186]@LaCointessa[/USER] : You are correct in your ID of the Chinese cash, unfortunately the heavily worn (scraped-off?) reverse prevents assigning an exact Hartill number.  I'm happy you still remember my little gesture from a few years ago. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
