[QUOTE="Mat, post: 8172629, member: 21445"]Late last year I had bid two different times on one of these tetradrachms and they ended up going past my limit. I've been hoarding my $ for something big in my autograph collecting but thanks to a tip from another collector here on CT I had seen two of these listed & decided to act since he confirmed the prices have been going up and the price was too good to ignore even though I didn't want to tap into my money. So here we are, my first coin for 2022. They are normally listed as Elymais, Kamnasires V, but more recently it's Uncertain Early Arsacid Kings. [ATTACH=full]1427875[/ATTACH] Uncertain Early Arsacid Kings Late 1st century B.C. - early 2nd century A.D. Billon Tetradrachm O: Crude bust left with long, pointed beard and curly hair dressed in a curved pattern from forehead to the nape of the neck, topped by a tuft of hair bound with a diadem, its ties falling behind, star in crescent above anchor with two crossbars, pellet to left of anchor. R: Diademed, bearded head left (degenerated), degraded legend around, forming square frame around the head. van't Haaff 10.3.1-1B, subtype b.[/QUOTE]
