<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clavdivs, post: 3015658, member: 93702&quot;]I have just a few months experience ancient coin collecting (and coin collecting in general). After my first batch of 10 uncleaned romans arrived and I was cleaning them, I found the Forvm member action site and bid on a few very inexpensive coins. I won this greek coin for $7.50. After 35+ days of checking the mail and being disappointed I contacted the seller. There was no tracking on the package.. he was very nice and promptly returned my money. Look what arrived in the mail today!! 60+ days later! I contacted the seller today and informed him - so we should be all square as soon as he responds..</p><p>Firstly I am very happy that this coin was not lost somewhere - glad it has a home.</p><p>Secondly - what the heck did I buy? I feel that I am just starting to get a grasp of the basics of the most common Roman coins but I have not investigated Greeks much yet.</p><p>I really hope that I never ask the question &quot;what the heck did I buy?&quot; again after a purchase - it is quite funny... but I guess I thought I liked the look of it and - hey it&#039;s $7.50!!</p><p>Anyway here is the little traveler. If nothing else I will have a story and a chuckle every time I bring it out. Any help with identification is appreciated... your info will add to the punch line.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]748763[/ATTACH] </p><p>The description by the seller was just &quot;Greek Coin Ae Unidentified&quot;</p><p>I just weighed and measured it as:&nbsp; 2.72 grams and 16mm</p><p><br /></p><p>In this coin&#039;s honor I may add a tag line to my profile.. &quot;what the heck did I buy?&quot;</p><p>If you can&#039;t laugh at yourself, then how can you laugh at anybody else?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
