<p>[QUOTE="kazuma78, post: 6530992, member: 17304"]This is my first ancient pickup of 2021 and my first piece of ancient gold. I was getting itchy to add an ancient piece to my collection as it had been over 3 months since my last pickup. With the crazy auction prices recently and lack of catalog auctions, I ended up getting this one direct sale from a collector. I've always thought these were interesting so I picked this one up for what I would consider reasonable and only a few hundred more than it sold for in 2017. It definitely looks better in hand then the photos. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1261340[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1261341[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1261342[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>SKYTHIA, Geto-Dacians.
